The hair restoration procedure is scientifically performed by two methods, namely the FUT and the FUE hair transplant. The technique of adoption in the surgery of hair transplant has value, importance as it primarily decides the hair transplant cost. No matter what the geographical or clinic location, performing surgeon or the grade of baldness is, but it makes a huge difference in putting the cost of the procedure that which restoration technique is applied to perform the surgery. However, it comes under the basic factor of charging the fees for the hair transplant procedure.
Before analyzing the strength of the technique, it is important to know each technique separately in terms of receiving the desired outcome of the hair transplant procedure.
The FUT hair transplant:
The follicular unit transplant involves the strip excision from the back sides of the scalp containing DHT-resistant hair roots that are destined to remain permanent in nature. The excision of the strip of the skin involves simple incisions, suture, and the closing followed by the advanced closing technique of the Trichophytic closure. The excised strip is later sent to the dissection room where technicians precisely separate each graft under higher magnification of microscopes and obtain the expected number of grafts for the process of final implantation.
The Strength of the FUT Technique:
- The High-density Hair Transplant is Possible: The FUT technique has the ability to offer a number of grafts/follicular unit via the safe donor part’s strip that can cover the higher grade of Norwood baldness with the best density and the best number of hair roots taken from the patient’s scalp part.
- The Permanent Result is Received: Since the extraction of grafts only taken from the safe donor areas of the scalp that are DHT-resistant to the effect of hair loss/baldness, thus give the permanent hair roots that retain their original characteristics, even though the roots are transplanted to another location.
- The Highest Grade of Norwood Baldness is covered: The FUT is always recommended to cover the highest grade of Norwood baldness occurs due to the genetic baldness. The possibility of receiving a mega number of grafts is only possible with the strip method that facilitates the option of receiving the greatest number of grafts in a single session.
- The affordable cost of FUT: And the most important considering factor while choosing the hair transplant procedure is about the cost that is a reasonable one with the FUT technique as compared to the FUE method of extraction.
The FUE Hair Transplant:
The FUE hair transplant procedure is the process of hair root extraction one-by-one via the punching machine that is based on the forecasting and speculation and so also known as the blind technique of the hair restoration. The graft damage rate is very high with the FUE technique along with the limitation of the number of graft extraction due to the random punching process. The random punching cannot assure you about the permanent outcome as every punching needs aesthetic distance for the next, which automatically reduces the strength of the extraction of the safe donor part.
So, it is good to get the consultation prior to hair transplant surgery in order to know about the best technique and their feasibility in your particular grade of baldness.
