The Linear Donor Scar in the FUT:

The FUT or the follicular unit transplant is the graft harvesting process through the strip of the skin in which a surgeon made a linear incision from the safe donor part of the scalp, i.e., the back and sides of the scalp. The strip is further sent to the dissection process where grafts are separated under the higher magnification of microscopes.

At Medispa centre, we use higher magnifications of both 20x and 40x magnifications of microscopes to separate every individual graft from the supportive tissue and obtain it viable for the hair transplant procedure. The incision made for the strip harvesting is later closed by the advanced closure technique of the Trichophytic closure. The advanced closure of the Trichophytic closure allows the regrowth of hair just through the wounded scarred and makes the incision scars practically imperceptible. The linear donor scars occur in the FUT that are needed to be camouflaged, which is perfectly closed by the overlapping fashion of Trichophytic closure.

People who are going to receive the strip harvesting or the FUT technique to receive the hair transplant procedure always gets worried about the linear donor scars. The unsightly linear donor scars can be minimized by the Trichophytic closure. The Trichophytic closure is an innovative way to reduce the donor areas scar by following the irregular or zigzag pattern of closing. The incision areas get closed in such a manner that the edges of the wounded areas overlapped each other. Thus the regrowth can be possible just next to the edges of the incision. Moreover, the advanced closing technique of Trichophytic makes the FUT technique compatible enough and known as the 4th generation FUT hair transplant procedure.

The hair transplant cost greatly influenced by the advanced technique and innovative practices and the Trichophytic closure plays a vital role in this regard.

What is the Trichophytic Closure?

The Trichophytic closure is a modern practice in the hair transplant surgery that camouflages the linear donor scar in an improved manner. The way of closing the areas follows the pattern of irregular overlapping that allows the regrowth possibility of hair through the donor scars.

The Trichophytic closure is allowed in the FUT technique of the hair restoration as well as the technique is adapted for those patients who previously had the hair transplant surgery and looking for the improved camouflage of the strip scars.

Why noticeable scars are a problem?

The goal of hair transplant surgery is to offer the best scarless and painless effect of the surgery. However, it is an important concern in the hair transplant procedure to reduce the scars effect as much as possible. It has been practically proved that the FUT leaves only linear scars that are perfectly closed by the Trichophytic closure. On the hand, the FUE leaves the multiple circular scars due to random punching process for the graft extraction. The FUE leaves multiple white tiny scars that are difficult to camouflage as well. Therefore, it is always recommended to go ahead with the FUT or the strip method of the surgery in most of the cases of the baldness. The noticeable scars are needed to be camouflaged as it tells about the failure of the surgery and no one wants to receive the scar after the restoration procedure. In order to fulfil the aesthetic requirement of the surgery, it is important to perform the surgery in such a way that it gives the best scarless and painless result of the hair transplant procedure.

Why is it good to go with the Trichophytic Closure?

To Improve Camouflage: Trichophytic closure does a great help in improving camouflage the strip scars and allows the growth of hair through the donor scars.

To minimize the Scarring: One can have the unsightly donor scars that can be minimized easily by the application of the Trichophytic closure.

It is Useful in repair cases: The Trichophytic closure is also very useful in the repair cases when a patient has the need for the revision case to improve the case of the bad hair transplant surgery.

How Large & Permanent FUT/Strip scars are?

First of all, it is important to know that FUT leaves only linear donor scar that is quite possible to hide effectively with the Trichophytic closure. The length of the scar depends on the size of the strip has been extracted. In some instance, the scar may extend from ear to ear.

It is not possible to hide the scar completely after all it’s a surgical procedure which leaves some sign of surgical procedure like any other surgical procedure. But, it is quite possible to minimize the extent of the scar by applying the advanced method of the Trichophytic closure. The Trichophytic closure is only possible with the FUT technique and therefore, it is advisable to receive the strip method of the surgery in most of the cases of hair loss.

So, it is always a wise decision to opt for the FUT technique of hair transplant followed by the innovative technique of the closing in order to receive the best aesthetic outcome of the procedure.

Why won’t hair grow on FUT scar Tissue?

It is a well-known fact that the incision made the tissue damages as a result of trauma and the underlying hair follicles that reside in the tissue endure damage and thus it stops the growth of hair. But, the chances of scars are limited to the FUT technique as the harvesting of the strip done in a linear way and so it leaves only linear scars with the positive benefits of the hair growth possibility even on the linear donor scars due to the adoption of the advanced Trichophytic closure.

As far as the FUE technique is concerned, there is a probability of more obvious scars due to the dynamic punching processes for graft extraction. And, it leaves multiple white and small patches all over the extraction area that stops the hair growth due to damaging of tissue containing the hair follicles.

Thankfully, there are options for the strip harvesting technique that facilitates the possibility of scar revision hair transplant surgery involves transplanting hair follicles into the scarred area. The newly transplanted hair follicles cover the scar area perfectly and allow a surgeon to meet the aesthetic challenge of the hair transplant surgery.
