FUT<\/strong> surgery stands for follicular unit transplant surgery. This kind of surgery is for people who are losing their hair and want to have a full head of hair again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are procedures out there that will simply give the appearance of more hair, however FUT surgery can actually give you hair in the spaces you need it most. Using donor follicles from hair on your head, a brand new head of hair can be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hair is more resistant to balding on the back and sides of the scalp, so follicles are taken from here and transferred to the areas you need it. The hair taken to be grafted must be taken from areas where your hair is permanent and not subject to DHT<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The scalp first has an anaesthetic applied, after which a donor strip of tissue is taken from the scalp. This is then used to prepare grafts for the areas you would like to have hair. Tiny holes are made in the scalp as the grafts are being made. This is where you\u2019ll have your grafts placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The arrangement of your grafts is really important, as this will determine the end look. However, this varies from patient to patient. You will have something designed for you based on your history of hair loss and how likely it is you will lose hair again in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important part of designing your new look is deciding on the number of grafts you will have placed on your head. This will give maximum aesthetic effect when done correctly. If more than one session should be needed, this will be discussed with you during a consultation. The issue with FUT surgery is that you can get a horizontal scar on your scalp from the donor strip that was cut out.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat Does FUT Surgery Entail?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
