From punch hair transplant in the 1950s to mini and micro grafting to follicular unit transplant in the 1990s and then finally to Follicular Unit Extraction, hair transplant has come a long way [1].\u00a0 If you have been contemplating the idea of undergoing a hair restoration procedure for quite some time, the terms FUE and FUT wouldn\u2019t be new to you, but if you\u2019re still trying to figure out which is the right one for you, then this piece might help in making the decision.<\/p>\n

Follicular Unit Transplant<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Follicular Unit Transplant or strip method<\/a> involves a thin strip of tissue being removed from the back and sides of the head, followed by removal of individual removal of follicular units (grafts) from the strip through stereo-microscopic dissection. The grafts are placed in tissue storage solution until they\u2019re transplanted. The edges of the wound are sealed leaving behind a linear scar.<\/p>\n

FUT tends to give a higher hair yield (not always but most of the time) and this advantage especially comes in handy, when the patient prioritizes maximum fullness. The advantage stems from the precision of the stereo-microscopic dissection as well as efficient harvesting from a more selected area of the donor region.<\/p>\n

Even if you have chosen to FUT as the procedure, you should try to look for a surgeon who is an expert in both the procedures, because sometimes a combination of FUT and FUE may be required. This especially becomes inevitable if;<\/p>\n
