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

Choosing a FUT hair transplant in Melbourne offers several advantages, including:
  • 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

  • Follow our specialised washing protocol beginning 48 hours after surgery, using the gentle cleansing technique demonstrated by our team.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming pools, saunas, and direct sun exposure for at least two weeks to prevent complications.
  • Take prescribed medications as directed, including anti-inflammatory agents and specialised hair growth supplements to optimise results.
  • Refrain from touching, scratching or wearing hats that may disturb the grafts during the crucial first 7-10 days of healing.
  • Attend your scheduled follow-up appointments at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months to monitor progress and receive continued guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
