Difference between FUT and FUE hair transplantations

Hair transplantations involve removing hairs from the back of the head and planting them in balding area of the head. The back of the head is often less vulnerable to balding that is why the hairs are often taken from that area.  If a person does not have hair at the back of the head, then hair from other parts of the body are taken for transplantation. FUT and FUE are two main methods, which are used in hair transplantation.

In FUT method, a strip of skin containing many hair follicles is removed from the back of the head and then all individual hair grafts are separated.  FUE method involves taking individual hair follicles and planting them on balding part. This process is time consuming. It often takes few hours but is painless .Of course before the start hair removing process; the numbing injection is given to the person.

The removing of hair follicles is the only difference between two methods. The rest of the process is same. In both the procedures, the tiny sites are created in the balding area by using fine needles and blades.  Before the creation of the sites, local anesthesia and numb injection are given. After creating the sites, the hair grafts are inserted into them.  FUT can be good for those, who have large area to be covered. FUE can be the best option for those who have small balding area. It is also for someone who wants short hair style. Women with smaller area of baldness also get the FUE procedure for hair transplantation.

In FUT method, large balding area can be covered in few sittings. The results after the transplantation are superior.  FUE method gives less cuts and stitches marks, as the hair is removed individually and entire strip is not taken out. The recovery time is less and person can go to work next day.

In both methods surgery is done to perform the hair transplantation work. The surgeon should be consulted to decide the best method for hair type and hair transplantation.  The person should come mentally prepared to undergo the surgery. The skill of the Best hair transplant doctor in India surgeon is very important in obtaining the best results.  The surgeon should be present during the entire duration of the surgery. Sometimes, surgeons do not perform the surgery. They allow technicians to do most of the surgery. The best surgeon will never allow this. Person should see that only a certified surgeon performs the surgery.
