What is a FUT Hair Transplant?
Hair loss can be a frustrating and confidence-affecting experience for both men and women. Whether it’s a receding hairline, thinning hair, or complete baldness, hair loss can significantly impact your self-esteem. Fortunately, advancements in hair restoration technology like follicular unit transplantation (FUT) offer effective solutions to achieve a thicker, fuller head of hair.
FUT is a well-established and proven hair transplant technique that delivers natural-looking, permanent results. At Hair Transplant Medical Centre, we utilize the latest FUT techniques combined with our team’s expertise to provide patients with a minimally invasive and highly successful hair restoration solution.
In the follicular unit transplant procedure, a strip of hair-bearing skin is removed from the donor area of the scalp, usually the back of the head. This is why FUT is also known as ‘strip’ surgery.
The long-term donor hair supply will be influenced by how loose (or lax) the scalp skin is and by how many hairs there are per square centimetre of donor scalp. Generally speaking, the FUT procedure gives access to a greater donor hair yield during a lifetime compared with follicular unit extraction (FUE). The strip is then placed under high-powered microscopes and the surgical team meticulously divides it into tiny grafts of individual follicular units of one to four hairs. These grafts are placed in a chilled tissue storage solution until they are transplanted.
The donor area is stitched up and usually then covered by the surrounding hair. After between 10 and 14 days the stitches are removed and the donor area heals to form a linear scar, which our doctors ensure is hidden as much as possible.
What Can Follicular Unit Transplantation Treat?
FUT hair transplants are a versatile solution for addressing various hair loss concerns, including:
- Male Pattern Baldness
This is the most common type of hair loss in men, characterized by a receding hairline and thinning hair on the crown. FUT effectively restores hair growth in these areas. - Female Pattern Baldness
Women experience hair loss differently than men, often with overall thinning throughout the scalp. FUT can address this concern by adding density and achieving a fuller appearance. - Receding Hairline
Both men and women can benefit from FUT to restore a youthful hairline and frame the face. - Eyebrow Restoration
FUT can be used to reconstruct sparse or lost eyebrows, creating a more defined and balanced facial appearance. - Beard Transplantation
FUT offers a natural-looking solution for men seeking to fill in patchy beard growth or achieve a fuller, more sculpted beard.
Who is an Ideal Candidate for FUT Hair Transplants?
FUT hair transplants are a suitable option for men and women experiencing various hair loss patterns. Here are some ideal characteristics for FUT candidacy:
- Stable Hair Loss
Your hair loss should be relatively stable for optimal results. - Adequate Donor Area
A healthy donor area with sufficient hair density is crucial for successful FUT surgery. - Realistic Expectations
It’s essential to have realistic expectations about the outcome and understand that hair growth takes time. - Good Overall Health
Being in good general health is important for undergoing any surgical procedure.
During your consultation at Hair Transplant Medical Centre, our experienced surgeons will evaluate your scalp health, hair loss pattern, and overall health to determine if FUT is the right option for you. We will discuss your goals and expectations to create a personalized treatment plan.
Benefits of FUT Hair Transplants
FUT offers several advantages over other hair restoration methods, making it a popular choice for patients seeking permanent and natural-looking results:
- Proven and Effective
FUT is a well-established technique with a long track record of success. It offers a reliable solution for achieving significant hair regrowth. - High Graft Yield
FUT allows for harvesting a larger number of grafts in a single session. This is because a strip of scalp containing multiple follicular units is removed. This translates to the potential for a denser, fuller head of hair in fewer procedures. - High Follicle Survival Rate
A greater percentage of the transplanted hair follicles will thrive in their new location, leading to a more successful outcome. - Efficient Large-Area Coverage
The ability to harvest a large number of grafts in one session makes it ideal for covering larger bald areas on the scalp. - Faster Procedure Time
Compared to FUE, which involves meticulously extracting individual hair follicles one by one, FUT can be a faster procedure. - Natural-Looking Results
FUT transplants individual follicular units, mimicking natural hair growth patterns for a highly realistic appearance. The scar is minimally visible. - Permanent Solution to Balding
The donor area of the scalp typically contains hair resistant to balding. FUT utilizes these healthy hair follicles, ensuring long-lasting hair growth. - Minimally Invasive
FUT is an outpatient procedure performed under local anesthesia, resulting in minimal discomfort and a faster recovery time compared to some other techniques. - Cost-Effective
Compared to Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE), FUT can be a more cost-effective option for patients requiring a larger number of grafts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will FUT leave a noticeable scar?
FUT typically leaves a thin linear scar at the donor site. However, this scar is often hidden within the remaining hair and becomes very faint over time. Additionally, our surgeons at Hair Transplant Medical Centre utilize advanced techniques to minimize scar visibility.
How long is the recovery time after FUT hair transplantation?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort following FUT and can return to work within a few days. Scalp tenderness and scabbing are expected for the first week, but these will gradually resolve. Strenuous activity should be avoided for a few weeks to allow for optimal healing.
When will I see results from FUT hair transplant surgery?
You will start to see new hair growth within a few months after the FUT procedure. However, it may take 12 to 18 months to achieve the final, desired density. Some shedding is normal after this procedure, but the healthy hair follicles will move into the growth phase in time.
Is follicular unit transplantation a permanent solution for hair loss?
The transplanted hair follicles are genetically resistant to balding, resulting in permanent hair growth in the recipient areas. However, some ongoing hair loss may occur in the non-transplanted areas.
What are the potential risks associated with FUT hair transplant surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, FUT carries some potential risks, such as infection, bleeding, and temporary numbness at the donor site. However, these risks are minimized by choosing a highly qualified and experienced surgeon who adheres to strict safety protocols.
What is the difference between FUT and FUE hair transplant?
Both follicular unit transplantation (FUT) and follicular unit extraction (FUE) are hair transplant techniques, but they differ in how the donor hair follicles are harvested. FUT removes a strip of scalp, while FUE extracts individual follicles. FUT can be more cost-effective for larger grafts, while a FUE hair transplant may result in less scarring. During your free consultation at Hair Transplant Medical Centre, our surgeons will discuss which method is best suited for your needs.
