FUT Hair Transplant
Loss of hair is a nightmare for everybody alike. Hair is the part of one’s physical asset that ornaments and complements all others. Gone are those days when hair transplant surgeries that brought back lost hair, were done in private and secretively as a very personal business. After all who does not want to look youthful while they are still young at heart! Today we shall talk about a miraculous method that has proved to be a boon for many people and made many lives confident: FUT Hair Transplant!
First up, why have a Hair Transplant?
Hair transplantation is a surgical method used for restoring the lost hair.- A receding hairline and hair falling indiscriminately is a pain to every head that sees their hair getting thinner day by day.
- They start appearing aged which inadvertently hints in the direction that they are getting older.
- A receding hairline is not the sole suffering to the adults, today it plagues a significant percentage of kids and teenagers too, besides the youth in their prime age.
Before one goes to the surgeon:
- a) One should make sure that he/she doesn’t have any history of illness. People who have a medical history of diseases, for example, alopecia should seek other methods as opposed to having a hair transplant.
- b) For people who are prone to scarring, for instance, they frequently see thick, red scars appearing, should avoid it. Moreover, persons with a history of poor wound healing should definitely ditch transplant of hair. In that case, an alternative option should be suggested in the candidate’s best interest.
FUT hair transplant
FUT is the abbreviated form for Follicular Unit Transplantation. It is a hair restoration technique. As opposed to older hair transplant methods, which required larger grafts and the look was weirdly unnatural, FUT is undoubtedly an advanced version over those methods. The hair grown is undetectable to be transplanted.- What happens in this method is, a hair strip is used for transplantation.
- Imagine that the hair that you are having at the back of your head is of good quality, so to serve as host hair.
- Then this patch of better quality at the back of your head which should be comparatively resistant to hair loss serves as the ideal area to serve as the host hair.
- Further, the host hair is the best to be used in transplantation. That patch or strip of hair is selected and divided into individual follicular units.
- Follicular units are made up of 1 to 4 or 5 hair strands. Apart from the strand, all units have a sebaceous gland, a muscle, and fine hair sometimes.
- While performing the transplant of hair- almost all the partitioned follicular units are used for the transplantation to the part which has the loss of hair or going bald.
Salient features:
- The transplanted hair seems very natural, unlike the earlier graft methods, or mini-grafting techniques.
- The planning is really easy. The number of follicular grafts can be estimated accurately. Dissection of the donor strip is easy too, and units are obtained.
- By minimizing the damage to the blood supply and connective tissue, the trauma to the scalp is minimized.
- The hair restoration process takes place really quick. So, it is easier for the patient as well to take out time.
- A transplant surgeon usually transplants a large number of grafts per session.
