FUT Give You Better Hair Grafts For Large Number of Hair Grafting

Hair thinning can be a primary reason of disquiet and heightened self consciousness for men and women alike. While male pattern baldness due to androgenic alopecia is commonplace, women having a high forehead and broadening hair slits is common as well. As hair restoration surgery is the most viable answer to get back one’s hair density, sometimes candidates are not eligible.

In this criteria as seeking patients of hair transplant surgery largely elect the FUE procedure, with the FUT linear excision and resulting scar being a huge turn off, surgeons have valid explanation, why one should think twice. Here are 5 criterions of choosing between FUT and FUE.

Hair Grafts are referred to the hairs that are to be planted on to the patient’s bald zone. It is typically a bundle of 2-5hiars with the bulbous hair follicle on the roots of them, bound together with a thin sheath of fatty tissue. It is the extraction and creation of these hair grafts that polarize the FUT and FUE procedures.

The FUT procedure involves cutting off a strip of skin, about 20cms in length and 2-5cms in height, more or less, from the patient’s back of the scalp starting from the back of ear across to another.  This process does the hair grafting better with the open dissection of the skin which allows uniformity and precision and is fast. This process is most substantial even large number of hair grafting, for a big bald scalp to cover.

On the other hand, the FUE procedure, which involves plucking out the hair from the back of the scalp, does so quite minimal invasively without cutting or removing any skin. However, plucking the hairs lacks on uniformity. Hair angles and directions are very tricky, they point towards one direction on the surface of the scalp, while the hair follicles underneath the scalp could be a different direction. Hence, when the hair is plucked, chances are that the top portions of the hair come out, and the follicles, which might be at an opposite direction, are buried underneath the scalp. Plus, there could be transaction, or damage to the hair follicles itself, risking further hair growth from the damaged hair follicles, often caused by the FUE instruments itself.

This process is highly beneficial when a large extent of baldness is to be covered. A 20cms skin strip, typically contains enough hair follicles that can yield as many hair grafts as full head coverage. The skin strip is dissected under a stereo microscope, and since it is an open dissection, and the hair angles and directions are apparent, thus allowing a very precise and uniform grafting of 2-5hair follicles with the same amount of thin fatty tissue around it. All this is done quite fast, so the hair grafts don’t get the time to dry off.
