What is FUT Hair Transplant Surgery?
FUT, or Follicular Unit Transplantation, is a surgical procedure that extracts a strip of scalp from the donor area, typically at the back of the head. The follicles are then carefully harvested and implanted into thinning or balding areas.
The procedure involves:
- Precise Strip Removal: A thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area where hair grows thickest.
- Expert Follicle Extraction: Individual hair follicles are meticulously extracted from the strip under high magnification.
- Strategic Implantation: The harvested follicles are placed in the recipient area to ensure natural hair regrowth patterns.
- Long-Term Results: With proper care, FUT hair transplant results can provide permanent solutions to male pattern hair loss.
If you’re considering an FUT hair transplant, book a consultation with our team at Atlantis Medical to explore your options.
Benefits of the FUT Hair Transplantation Procedure
- Higher Graft Yield: FUT allows for the extraction of a larger number of grafts in a single session, making it ideal for those with advanced hair loss.
- Natural Hair Regrowth: The procedure follows the scalp’s natural hair growth cycle, ensuring a seamless and natural look.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to FUE, FUT may provide a more affordable solution for extensive hair restoration.
- Minimal Donor Area Impact: As the donor area heals, it leaves a thin, linear scar that can be easily concealed with existing hair.
- Permanent Results: FUT offers long-lasting results by transplanting healthy hair follicles that continue to grow naturally.
- Shorter Procedure Time: The process can often be completed more quickly compared to FUE, making it a convenient option.
Am I Eligible for a FUT Hair Transplant?
The suitability of a FUT hair transplant depends on several factors, including:
- The extent of male pattern hair loss
- The availability of healthy donor hair
- Scalp elasticity and ability to heal from the procedure
- Personal hair restoration goals and expectations

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FUT and FUE?
The main difference between FUT and FUE lies in how hair follicles are extracted. In FUT, a strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, from which individual follicles are extracted and transplanted. In contrast, FUE involves directly extracting individual follicles from the scalp without removing a strip of skin. Both methods provide effective results, but the choice depends on factors like hair loss severity and personal preferences.
Do hair transplants work?
Yes, hair transplants are a proven solution for male pattern hair loss and other types of hair thinning. The success of the procedure depends on factors such as the availability of donor hair, the natural hair regrowth cycle, and the skill of the doctor performing the procedure.
What is the cost of a FUT hair transplant?
The FUT hair transplant cost varies based on the number of grafts required and the level of coverage needed. Our pricing at Atlantis Medical is transparent, inclusive of GST, and includes all post-operative care. A consultation will provide a tailored cost estimate based on your specific needs.
How long does it take to see results after a hair transplant?
The hair restoration journey requires patience. Initial hair shedding is normal, with new hair growth starting around 3-4 months post-surgery. Significant improvements are typically visible by 6 months, with full results appearing within 12-18 months as your own natural hair blends seamlessly with the transplanted hair.
Is a FUT hair transplant a permanent loss solution?
Yes, FUT hair transplants are considered a permanent hair loss solution, as the transplanted follicles are taken from areas resistant to hair thinning. With proper care and maintenance, the transplanted hair will continue to grow naturally over a lifetime.
Am I a good candidate for a FUT hair transplant?
Ideal candidates for FUT hair transplants are individuals experiencing significant hair thinning with a stable donor area at the back or sides of the scalp. A consultation at our Melbourne hair transplant clinic can help determine your suitability based on your hair loss pattern and restoration goals.
Will the transplanted hair look natural?
Yes, FUT hair transplants are designed to mimic your natural hair growth pattern. At Atlantis Medical, Dr. Vikram will carefully place the grafts to match your existing hairline and density, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking result.
What should I expect during my hair restoration journey?
Your hair restoration journey at Atlantis Medical begins with a comprehensive consultation, followed by a personalised treatment plan. From pre-procedure preparation to post-operative care, our team will guide you every step of the way to ensure optimal results and a smooth experience.
