Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) Hair Transplant
Hi, I’m Dr. Amit Agarkar, and I’m here to guide you through the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) process. If you’re dealing with significant hair loss and looking for a solution that provides natural, lasting results, FUT might be the answer you’ve been searching for. This tried-and-true method is ideal for restoring a full, healthy hairline, particularly for those with advanced hair loss. Let me explain how it works and why it could be the right choice for you.
Consultation & Preparation
During our first step, I’ll assess your hair loss, examine your donor area, and design a customized treatment plan just for you. Don’t worry—local anesthesia is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Donor Area Harvesting
A thin strip of scalp is carefully removed from the back of your head, an area where hair is typically more resistant to thinning. Afterward, the donor area is sutured, leaving a fine scar that’s hidden by the surrounding hair.
Dissection of Follicular Units
Using a high-powered microscope, the donor strip is meticulously dissected into individual follicular units, each containing 1–4 hairs. This attention to detail ensures the most natural results
Recipient Site Preparation
We create tiny incisions in the recipient area that replicate the natural angle and direction of your hair growth, ensuring a seamless blend with your existing hair.
Graft Placement
Each follicular unit is carefully implanted into the prepared sites. This step is crucial for achieving a natural hairline and optimal density.
Post-Operative Care
I’ll provide you with clear instructions for caring for your scalp after the procedure, along with medications to aid healing. Follow-ups will be scheduled to monitor your progress and remove sutures if necessary.
Recovery & Results
While the transplanted hair may shed initially, new growth typically begins in 3–4 months. Full, permanent results can be expected within 9–12 months.
There’s a reason FUT has stood the test of time as a hair restoration method. Here’s why it continues to be a preferred option
High Graft Yield
If you need a large number of grafts, FUT is incredibly efficient, maximizing the use of your donor hair.
Cost-Effective
Compared to other methods, FUT provides exceptional value, especially for those requiring extensive restoration.
Natural Results
When done correctly, FUT creates results that look indistinguishable from your natural 1hair.
Efficient for Advanced Hair Loss
If you’re dealing with severe thinning or balding, FUT is designed to provide comprehensive coverage.
Proven Results
With decades of success stories, FUT continues to deliver consistent, reliable outcomes
Permanent Solution
Once transplanted, these hair follicles grow just like your natural hair and are resistant to further loss
For those experiencing advanced hair loss, FUT combines efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and proven reliability to deliver exceptional results
Patients with Advanced Hair Loss
If you’re experiencing significant balding or thinning, FUT’s ability to transplant a large number of grafts makes it ideal.
Individuals with Dense Donor Areas
A strong donor area at the back or sides of your scalp provides the best foundation for success.
People Seeking Cost-Effective Solutions
If you’re looking for an economical way to achieve full restoration, FUT delivers great value.
Individuals Comfortable with a Linear Scar
For those who typically wear longer hairstyles, the fine scar left by FUT can be easily concealed.
Post-Operative Care: It’s normal to experience mild redness, swelling, and scabbing in the donor and recipient areas, which usually subside within a week.
Hair Growth Timeline: You’ll start to see visible growth within 3–6 months, with full results achieved in 12–18 months.
Low Maintenance: Once your transplanted hair has grown, you can treat it just like the rest of your natural hair.
Possible Side Effects
Linear Scar: A small scar will be present at the donor site, but it’s typically hidden by your surrounding hair.
Temporary Numbness: Some numbness in the donor area is common but resolves over time.
Mild Discomfort: Any discomfort can be easily managed with over-the-counter medication.
What is FUT hair transplant?
FUT involves removing a strip of scalp to extract hair follicles, which are transplanted to balding areas.
How does FUT differ from FUE?
FUT harvests a strip of skin, while FUE extracts individual follicles, leaving no linear scar. FUT is more efficient for larger graft needs.
How long does the FUT procedure take?
Typically 4-8 hours, depending on the number of grafts transplanted.
When will I see results?
Hair growth starts in 3-6 months, with full results visible in 12-18 months.
Are there any side effects?
Minor swelling, scarring, and numbness may occur, but they are temporary and manageable.
