FUE OVER FUT … Which one is better ?

Patients considering hair transplant surgery will often come across the terms FUE or FUT during the course of their research and wonder how to decide whether an FUE or FUT hair transplant is the right choice for them. There are two surgical techniques by which hair can be removed from the donor area of a patient’s scalp. Follicular unit transplantation, FUT, and follicular unit extraction, FUE. In an FUT hair transplant a thin strip of hair is removed from the donor region. In an FUE transplant each hair graft is removed from the donor region one by one, using a punch tool. Regardless of whether FUE or FUT is used to remove the hair, the method for transplanting each of the grafts is exactly the same. We can have comparisons for both the procedures. 

Can the Same Person Have Both FUT and FUE?

Yes. FUT may be used first to maximize the yield of the initial procedure, but then in subsequent sessions, the scalp may become too tight to perform further FUT/strip procedures or the donor scar may become wider than anticipated. In the former case, the surgeon can switch to FUE for subsequent sessions. In the latter, the surgeon may use FUE to harvest follicular units and then implant them into the widened scar, camouflaging it.

If FUE is performed first and the yield is lower than what the doctor deems acceptable, the patient may consider switching to FUT either for the remainder of that procedure or in subsequent surgeries.

Is Hair Transplant a painful procedure???

Hair transplantation is not an easy undertaking because it is also a type of surgery. The procedure calls for manual treatment using surgical instruments. There is no clear measurement of how much pain a person may experience. There are individual factors that determine the intensity of pain a person may feel. 

Much of the feedback from hair transplantation patients point out the stage where pain is likely to be experienced. According to doctors and patients themselves, the most painful part of hair restoration surgery is having the anesthetic injected into the scalp.

Pain has different aspects for many people. The pain tolerance threshold is the stage at which pain becomes unbearable for a person, but this varies for diverse individuals.  Some people can put up with extreme pain; others cannot tolerate even a slight one. The component of our reaction to pain is complex. Likewise, a good percentage of pain comes from being edgy or nervous. If you are one of those who cannot tolerate the presence of pain in your body, it will not be advisable for you to consider hair transplantation. It is due to this low pain threshold that people will not choose this procedure.

AT WHAT STAGE SOME PAIN CAN BE FELT ???

The patient needs to know the things that will take place during the hair transplant procedure. Initially, the surgery begins with the application of local anesthetic to your scalp. This is probably the most painful part of the procedure. A series of injections are made to the scalp’s donor as well as recipient areas.

SOME POINTS TO BE NOTED :-

A slight pain will be present during the injection of anesthesia and also at the end the surgery. 

About half of the patients who have undergone this treatment have reported swelling on the forehead and in the upper face. However, this effect is perfectly normal. and can be rectified by applying ice pack. 

There will be numbness in the head after several weeks because the scalp is still under a healing period. The implanted tissues are reconnecting with the blood vessels in the scalp, thus the skin is less sensitive. This will be experienced for about four weeks after the surgery has taken place. After that, the numbing will start to wear off.

For those who have high pain tolerance, you have nothing to fear. A good doctor will always see to it that the patient is ready and relaxed before any procedure is done.

FEMALE PATTERN BALDNESS

Female pattern baldness involves a typical pattern of #hairloss in women, due to hormones, aging, and genes.

Causes

A hair grows from its follicle at an average rate of about 1/2 inch per month. Each hair grows for 2 to 6 years, then rests, and then falls out. A new hair soon begins growing in its place.

Baldness occurs when hair falls out and normal new hair does not grow in its place. The reason for female pattern baldness can be  related to:

• Aging
• 
  
• Changes in the levels of androgens (male hormones). For example, after reaching menopause, many women find that the hair on their head is thinner, while the hair on their face is coarser.
• 
  
• Family history of male or female pattern baldness
• 
  

Hair loss can occur in women for reasons other than female pattern baldness, including the following:

• Breaking of hair (from treatments and twisting or pulling of hair, or hair shaft abnormalities that are present from birth)
• Certain skin diseases that lead to scarring of the hair follicles
• Certain autoimmune diseases
• 
  
• Hormone problems, such as too much testosterone, or too much or too little thyroid hormone
• Too little iron
• Too little vitamin B (biotin) or other vitamin deficiency
• Medications such as chemotherapy and beta blockers
• Patchy hair loss (alopecia areata )
• Syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection
• Temporary shedding of hair after a major illness, surgery, or pregnancy
• 
  

Symptoms

Hair thinning is different from that of male pattern baldness. In female pattern baldness:

• Hair thins mainly on the top and crown of the scalp. It usually starts with a widening through the center hair part.
• The front hairline remains
• The hair loss rarely progresses to total or near total baldness, as it may in men

Itching or skin sores on the scalp are generally NOT seen.

Exams and Tests

Female pattern baldness is usually diagnosed based on:

• Ruling out other causes of hair loss
• The appearance and pattern of hair loss
• Your medical history

Our doctor  @cosmoworldclinics  will examine you for other signs of too much male hormone (androgen), such as:

• Abnormal new hair growth, such as on the face or between the belly button and pubic area.
• Changes in menstrual periods and enlargement of the clitoris
• New acne

A skin biopsy or other procedures or blood tests may be used to diagnose skin disorders that cause hair loss.
