FUT Hair Transplant
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) is a hair transplantation method widely used for the treatment of hair loss. It's often chosen for its efficiency in transferring a large number of hair follicles in a single session. Here's a detailed overview of the FUT procedure: 1. Basic Concept: - FUT involves removing a strip of scalp tissue from the donor area, usually at the back of the head where hair is more resistant to balding. - Hair follicles are then extracted from this strip and prepared for transplantation. 2. Suitability: - Ideal for patients with significant balding who require a large number of grafts. - More suitable for those who don't mind having a linear scar or who plan to keep their hair at a length that can cover it. Procedure Steps 1. Consultation and Planning: - The surgeon assesses the patient’s hair loss and discusses the desired results. - The hairline and the number of grafts needed are planned. 2. Preparation of Donor Area: - The donor area, typically at the back of the head, is shaved and cleaned. - Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area. 3. Removal of Scalp Strip: - A strip of scalp tissue is surgically removed from the donor area. - The size of the strip depends on the number of grafts required. 4. Closure of Donor Area: - The incision is sutured, leaving a linear scar that is hidden by the patient’s existing hair. 5. Dissection of Follicular Units: - The removed strip is meticulously dissected under a microscope into individual follicular units (each containing 1 to 4 hairs). 6. Preparation of Recipient Area: - The balding areas are prepared, and tiny incisions are made to receive the grafts. 7. Transplantation of Hair Follicles: - The prepared follicular units are carefully implanted into the incisions in the recipient area. 8. Postoperative Care: - Instructions for caring for the scalp and transplanted hair are provided. - Medications may be prescribed to reduce swelling and prevent infection. 9. Recovery: - Initial healing in the donor area takes a few weeks, during which sutures may be removed. - Transplanted hair falls out initially but begins to grow within a few months. FUT is effective for transferring a large number of hair follicles in one session and is often more cost-effective than other methods. However, the presence of a linear scar and the need for careful postoperative care are important considerations. As with any medical procedure, the expertise of the surgeon and the specific needs of the patient play crucial roles in achieving satisfactory results.
