FUT Hair Transplant
Strip harvesting for high-volume graft sessions
FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area, which is then carefully dissected under a microscope into individual follicular unit grafts before being placed in recipient sites.
FUT allows a very high number of grafts to be harvested in a single session, making it a practical choice for patients with advanced hair loss who need maximum coverage. Skilled closure minimises the linear scar.
Key Benefits
- Highest graft yield per session of any technique
- Grafts are protected during dissection, supporting excellent survival rates
- Suitable for patients requiring large coverage areas
- Cost-effective for high-volume restoration
Is This Treatment Right For You?
- Patients with Norwood Grade 5–7 hair loss
- Those needing maximum grafts in a single session
- Patients comfortable with a fine linear donor scar
What to Expect
Consultation & Planning
Donor strip location and graft estimate are planned with the surgeon.
Strip Harvest
A thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area under local anaesthesia and the wound is closed.
Graft Dissection
The strip is dissected under magnification into individual follicular units.
Graft Implantation
Prepared grafts are placed into recipient sites at the correct angle and density.
Recovery & Aftercare
Sutures are removed at around 10–14 days; the transplanted hair sheds within weeks before regrowing from 3–4 months, with full results visible at 12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the FUT scar be visible?
A fine linear scar remains in the donor area; skilled closure and hair growing over it mean it is generally undetectable at normal hair lengths.
How does FUT compare to FUE?
FUT yields more grafts per session and may suit patients with advanced loss; FUE avoids a linear scar but harvests fewer grafts per session.
