What is FUT Hair Transplant

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) is also known as the Strip surgery. It is one of the most popular methods of transplanting your hair. Several techniques have been evolved over the years for getting your lost hairs back on your bald head and also the modern technology has contributed in it. One such advantage of modern technology in this field is of development of FUT. Basically; FUT hair transplant is the method of hair transplant that begins with stripping-off a line of follicular units from the scalp line. There are other methods too. These include FUE, etc. The main difference in these techniques can be seen in the method of getting these follicular units. FUT solely involves obtaining the hair from the scalp line bonded with the skin of the head. The skin line is striped- off along with the hairs on it which is further divided into pieces called follicular units. These units are then placed in a proper manner wherever they are required that is, on the spot of baldness. The area from where the skin line is striped- off is then, covered with the materials such as staples, sutures, etc. It is covered in such a way that once the hairs are grown to a certain length, the scar becomes completely invisible.

Who does it benefit?

  • Patient who presents with advanced stage of baldness with poor donor density.
  • Patient with loose scalp.
  • Old men
  • Patient with reverse hair loss, etc.

How does FUT Hair transplant works?

The FUT hair transplant that is Follicular Unit Transplant begins with the extraction of the follicles from the scalp line. It is known as strip harvesting. Then, the extracted follicle strip is further divided into smaller fragments known as follicular units under a stereo microscope. The donor area from where the strip has been taken is then covered with the covering materials such as staples and sutures. This develops a faint and lenient scar. This provides you with the uniform hair density and also, the availability of more and more follicles. Each follicular unit obtained is considered as a graft which is used for the transplantation.

Steps in FUT Hair transplant

PREPARATION OF THE PATIENT

After the planning of the FUT hair transplant, there are some cares and needs that are to be taken before the beginning of the treatment. Some of the preventive measures are to be taken before the surgery while the others are told by the trained staff just before the start of the surgery on the same day of the surgery.

LOCAL ANAESTHESIA

To maintain the comfort and ensure no pain, a local anesthesia is given to the patient before the treatment starts. Also, an anesthetic gel or high frequency vibration is used to ensure minimal pain while the process of giving the anesthesia.

SELECTION OF DONOR AREA:

The area from the scalp is chosen from where the strip of hair can be cut. This is known as donor area. The area of maximum density is carefully chosen to ensure long-term stability and good health of the transplanted hair.

STORAGE OF DONOR TISSUE

After the strip is obtained, wasting no time, it is immediately placed in a physiological solution, which minimizes the body’s natural response and provides longer viability, also allowing time for closure of the wound created by the strip removal.

SLIVERING & DISSECTING

The harvested strip is now divided into single layer of hair follicular units called as the Slivers. Each sliver is then further trimmed to get rid of any extra tissue. The obtained grafts are then separated individually, and then finally implanted in the bald area or the area to be treated/ corrected.

CREATION OF THE RECIPIENT SITES

This is one of the most crucial steps in the procedure, involving a keen aesthetic eye, done with precision as this step decides how the resulting final look would be. To design and prepare the recipient site, fine blades or needles are used. A good surgeon will try his best to ensure that the sites are created in such a way that the outcome appears completely natural and healthy.

IMPLANTATION

The obtained grafts are then carefully placed into the created recipient sites by the trained staff. A repeat check is done at the end to ensure proper placement.

Post – Procedure Care

  • The treatment isn’t a major one but still, come care and precautionary measures need to be taken.
  • After the treatment has been done successfully, there may be some oozing or pain over the donor area which may be relived using sterile gauze.
  • The process is quite simple as compared to other processes. Only thing is that the staples or the sutures used need to be removed post- operatively after 7-9 days of the surgery.
  • There might be a dissolvable suture underneath the skin that will self-dissolve between 3-4 months post operatively. This can feel lumpy but will return to normal in no time.
  • The results are similar to any other surgery. As a coin has two sides, in the same way, the surgery also has some minor disadvantages like leaving behind a faint scar at the donor site which is only visible when the complete head is shaven.

Advantage of FUT

  • Large number of grafts can be obtained in one session.
  • High yield of hair and less time consuming process.
  • Affordable with natural results.

Complications

As everything comes with some advantages as well as disadvantages or complications, the FUT hair transplant technique also has its own minor complications that can’t be neglected at all. They are not different from the other hair transplant methods but the same as others. However, the results totally depend on the way it is performed. The experience and skills of the doctor matters a lot in this surgery. For example, the sutures can catch up some kind of infection or pus, etc. Further, some hairs may shed off around the sutured area. Also, the recovery time is somewhat longer than the other methods such as FUE, etc.

If the linear scar is of concern, it is important to remember that restoring scars after an FUT procedure may not be easy and can and should be handled only by a surgeon with immense experience. The methods by which improvement can be obtained is by implanting new hair follicles using the FUE method, or by using the W-plasty technique wherein the wound is excised and stitched and finally, there is the option of micropigmentation.
