What is FUT?
FUT hair transplant is an outpatient treatment requiring minimum surgical procedure in the areas where the scalp has thin hair or is hairless. The process is carried out by picking up hair from the areas with thick hair growth. Usually, the areas on the side of the scalp and backside have good hair growth and mostly it is the front and the crown area that shows more hair loss. So, the surgeons pick up the hair follicles in these areas that are more resistant to the hair loss process and implant them through grafting on the scalp areas with less or no hair cover.
At one time, two to four hair strands or follicular units are taken for grafting. Usually these are naturally occurring hair units. Firstly, the scalp of the patient is made numb with local anesthesia. Then, a strip of donor tissue is removed from the scalp area of the donor. This donor strip after extraction is divided into several small follicular units with the help of dissection microscope. While one of the doctors is separating the tissue strip into follicular units, the other specialist, makes small holes within the scalp. These are known as recipient sites and in these holes, the follicular units are grafted.
FUT hair transplant is an aesthetic process and is carried out to ensure that the patient looks good after the hair transplant. That is why, all the possibilities of appearances are considered before finally grafting the follicular units so that the patient gets back his natural good looks.
