In this article, we are describing the following topics involved in the FUT Method:
The FUT hair transplant or the follicular unit transplant, which is also known as the strip method of the hair transplant surgery is an advanced method accepted widely in the hair transplant world to extract the maximum number of grafts in a single session. This is an ideal choice to fulfil the need for a higher grade of baldness and one can receive the maximum possible number of grafts in a single session. The FUT or the strip method involves the strip excision from the safe donor part which is usually from the back & sides of the scalp. The safe donor area from where the strip is taken is further sutured with the advanced closure technique known as the Trichophytic closure.
The strip containing follicular units is dissected into the grafts containing one or two hair follicles. The dissection job is performed under the higher magnification of microscopes in order to obtain the best number of viable grafts in a single session. The follicular units contain the sebaceous glands, nerves, muscles, and some fine hairs known as vellus hairs.
Now, the dissected grafts are implanted into the recipient areas where it is needed to implant and one can get the desired coverage and aesthetic implantation by getting the right type of graft at the right location. Usually, the dissection is done in such a manner that the surgeon can collect the different type of grafts means single, double or triple hair follicle grafts in order to place them in the respective locations. It has aesthetic importance to implant the thin grafts for making the frontal hairline and the chubby grafts are used for covering the crown or the mid-crown areas.
The implanted grafts via the FUT dissection confirm us about the natural regrowth of hair with an aesthetic pattern and natural hairline design given by the expert surgeons.
What Steps involved in the FUT Hair Transplant is jotted down below: –
The patient who is undergoing for the FUT hair transplant must have a good donor supply in the back and sides of the scalp in order to receive the hair transplant procedure. The donor area must be stable and contain the maximum number of hair follicles.
The FUT hair transplant is recommended when a patient is affected by the highest grade of baldness. It is always good to receive the strip method for the graft extraction process in order to get the maximum number of hair roots.
The FUT technique is allowed only when the patient has a good donor supply and is not affected by the autoimmune disorder like Alopecia areata or spot baldness. The spot baldness affects the donor area as well that makes it difficult to receive the strip method of the surgery.
The age of the patients does matter in receiving the FUT procedure as it is mandatory to have the stable donor area to get the procedure done. For younger patients, it is not recommended to do FUT because of the stability concern. As a matter of fact, the patients above the age 25 are the first choice of receiving the FUT technique as they have a stable and safe donor part in terms of grade, state, and results of the procedure.
The FUT hair transplant is a less labour intensive procedure that makes the possibility of extraction of around 5000 grafts in a single session. The FUT session takes around 8-9 hours of time depending upon the number of graft extraction as well as the available NW-grade of baldness to be covered. The graft damage rate is also very less with the FUT technique helps in obtaining the best of viable grafts in a single session.
It takes the shortest time period to get recovered from the FUT hair transplant and one can return to his office work from the very next day of the surgery. On the other hand, the healing may take 10-14 days to get fully recovered.
The cost of hair transplant depends on several factors like the number of extracted grafts, the available grade of baldness, practiced technique, either it is FUT or FUE, the performing surgeon, recognition of the clinic, the geographical location and the last, but not least the physiological and anatomical status of patient’s hair collectively contribute in putting the cost of the procedure. But, generally, the cost of FUT technique is lesser as compared to the FUE technique and ranges somewhere between 1 lacs-3lacs INR.
The FUT technique gives the permanent result as the extraction of hair roots are only performed from the safe donor part. The best part of the surgery is that the transplanted roots naturally adopt the characteristics of original hair roots in terms of the DHT-resistivity. And, so the hair roots extracted via the FUT technique never fall out nor show the effect of miniaturization.
So, it is always good and a worthy decision to receive the FUT hair transplant procedure.
