What is FUT Transplantation?
FUT or a Follicular Unit Transplant, also known as “Strip surgery”, is one of the most common and effectively used procedures in the field of Hair Transplant for years. In 1939, Japan made its first hair transplant. After that, the doctors came up with a “plug” method, which is what carries large floccule hairs. And with the passing of time, surgeons began to use small sprouts of hair follicles on patients’ heads.
Early in the 1990s, Dr. Bobby Limmer started the modern method of Hair Transplantation and became the first to perform a hair transplant using follicular unit transplantation (FUT). Another modern technology that was developed after FUT is called FUE.
How FUT works?
FUT procedure requires removing a strip of scalp from the donor area. Usually, the donor location is on the occiput. When the surgeon removes a thread, he binds the field or area of the donors together. The suturing leaves a straight stem of varying lengths, expressed in the extruded line. The art of hair extensions comes from the headband and attaches to the recipient areas where there are minor cuts on each hair. Ten days later, you can go for your stitches. The procedure also uses local anesthesia and performs on noninvasive patients. We perform this hair transplant using local anesthesia, and you can get it as an outpatient.
