Follicular unit transplantation (FUT) Procedure

Hairs on the sides and the back of the head are not affected by male pattern baldness. As a result a hair transplant surgeon can remove donor hair follicles from the sides and back and relocate them on the top of the scalp where hair loss has occurred and the newly transplanted hair will grow exactly as it had from the donor region.
Before beginning a hair transplant your physician will review several important concerns:
  1. Are you in good general health?
  2. Do you have any bleeding or healing disorders?
  3. Your age and degree of hair loss.
  4. The quality and quantity of your donor hair.
  5. What is your ultimate cosmetic goal?
These are some of the most important issues in deciding whether someone is a suitable candidate for hair transplantation.
The first step in the hair transplant process is the design of the hairline. The surgeon will sketch a suggestion for placement of the hairline. You are encouraged to participate in this decision process.
Next the donor area is prepared. Hair in the back is lifted and a narrow strip of hair is trimmed. The hair from above will cover the area. Both the top and the back of the scalp are then anesthetized. This is usually the only discomfort you will feel during the procedure, and lasts only one or two minutes.
Narrow strips are removed from the donor area and the hair from above and below are brought back together with a simple running stitch. The stitches are covered by your hair and removed in one week to ten days, leaving a tiny scar line that is concealed by your own hair.
From the donor strip naturally occurring Follicular Units, usually groups of 1-3 hairs, are separated under a microscope to preserve every follicle.
The surgeon next creates the sites where the grafts will be placed. Tiny incisions are made at the hairline for the smallest 1 to 3 hair grafts. As the surgeon works back he will place gradually larger grafts containing Follicular Unit Groups. This allows your surgeon to accomplish more density without sacrificing naturalness. During the entire procedure you will be alert; chatting with the doctor and staff. Procedure time is usually between 3 to 6 hours.
When your hair transplant has been completed you will be provided with post-operative instructions.
