Follicular unit transplantation (strip) when that harvest method is the better fit for your donor hair.

Overview

What is FUT hair transplant?

FUT (follicular unit transplantation) harvests a strip of donor scalp, then dissects it into grafts for placement in thinning areas. It can yield a high graft count when that is the better method for your donor hair.

It leaves a linear scar that is typically hidden by surrounding hair. We offer FUT when it is the honest surgical choice — not because it is on a menu.

FUT Hair Transplant

Why patients choose it

Key benefits

  • Efficient harvest when a large session is the goal

  • Grafts placed with the same density and direction planning as FUE

  • May be preferred when the donor area or session size favors a strip

  • Can be combined later with FUE if a hybrid plan is right

Treatment details

Areas & what to expect

Treatable areas

Same recipient zones as FUE: hairline, mid-scalp, crown — within donor limits. We will not overharvest to chase an unrealistic hairline.

Your visit

After mapping, a strip is taken from the donor zone and closed; grafts are prepared and placed the same day. You will have suture or staple care and a scar-care plan.

Recovery includes tightness in the donor area and the same recipient-site shed-and-grow timeline as other transplants.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about this treatment — your provider will cover anything specific to you at consultation.

Why FUT instead of FUE?

Session size, donor characteristics, or a prior plan. We will not push a strip if FUE is the better harvest for you.

How visible is the scar?

A linear scar under existing hair for most patients. Very short styles make it easier to see. We discuss that before you book.

Is FUT still offered?

When it is the right method. If it is not a fit, we will recommend FUE or a non-surgical plan instead.
