DECIDING ON AN FUT OR FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT

At pravit  we offer both FUT and FUE methods. we always assess the individual’s  needs and advise on the best technique.

FUE Vs FUT –PROS AND CONS  

With FUE  shaving of the entire scalp is required prior. With FUT the area from which the strip of hair to be removed is trimmed.

With  FUE ,  yield of graft is lower as each second graft has to taken only from the safe donor area on compulsion the surgeon has to take grafts outside the donor area with ageing these hairs becomes thin and shred soon.

In FUE Extracting hairs with a punch tool is not so accurate as with microscope usage in FUT. when hairs outside donar area are extracted in FUE, tiney circular scars results which become obvious over time.

In  FUT procedure  suture becomes mandatory, patient needs another visit to the surgeon  10-14 days later for suture removal. In an FUE hair transplant procedure no stitches are needed.

FUT OR FUE HAIR TRANSPLANTS – SCARRING

Even the most skilled hair transplant surgeon cannot perform hair surgery without scars. Both FUE and FUT techniques create scars. scar is linear in FUT. whereas in  FUE scars are  multiple circular across a large area.

THE ADVANTAGES IN FUT :

IF  a patient demands a second or third hair transplant, only  with the FUT technique an expertise surgeon can remove the linear scar from the first procedure, leaving  behind with only one scar.This is never  possible in  FUE  method, where new additional scars are created. this way FUT takes upper hand than FUE

the most significant advantage of FUT over FUE is that large numbers of follicle units can be transplanted in one session. During an FUE treatment, the greatest number of follicle units transferred is about 2,000. On the other hand, an FUT may involve the transfer of 4,000 follicle units.

Only FUT  has  higher rate of follicle survival.hence, patients with limited hairs  in the donor area are suggested  with  FUT .
