FUT Hair Transplant Surgery

Maximum Grafts · High Survival · One Session

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) harvests a strip of scalp from the donor area. Follicular units are dissected under microscopy and implanted. Ideal for patients requiring large graft counts in a single session.

Key Features

📊

High Graft Yield

3,000–5,000+ grafts per session — the highest of any single technique.

🔬

Microscopic Dissection

Follicles are carefully separated under high magnification, preserving integrity and maximizing survival.

💰

Cost-Effective

Lower cost-per-graft than FUE for large sessions, making it highly economical for extensive coverage.

⏱️

Efficient Surgery

Strip harvesting is faster than individual extraction, reducing total operating time.

Excellent Graft Quality

Microscopic dissection preserves complete follicular structures, achieving 95%+ survival rates.

🔄

Future Sessions Possible

Donor density is preserved for potential future procedures.

FUT Surgery Steps

Step 1
1STEP 1

Dr. Wu personally diagnoses your hair loss and recommends the most suitable transplant method and graft count. No sales consultants — all consultations are conducted directly by the doctor.

Step 2
2STEP 2

The hairline is planned based on the patient's preferences, age, and facial proportions. The transplant area is mapped and graft count calculated (one graft ≈ 2 hairs).

Step 3
3STEP 3

Under local anesthesia, a thin scalp strip is excised from the donor area and sutured closed. Follicles are immediately dissected under microscopy into individual units and implanted at ~40 grafts per cm².

Step 4
4STEP 4

A follow-up visit the next day for scalp cleansing, wound inspection, and full post-operative care instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will FUT leave a visible scar?
A thin linear scar forms at the donor site, but an experienced surgeon keeps it 1–2mm wide, easily concealed under normal hair length.
Who is FUT best suited for?
Patients with extensive hair loss needing 3,000+ grafts, or those comfortable with slightly longer donor-area hair to conceal the scar.
How long is recovery?
Sutures are removed in 10–14 days. Most patients resume normal activities within 2 weeks.
Can FUT be repeated?
Usually 2–3 sessions are possible depending on scalp laxity. Minimum 6–12 months between sessions is recommended.
Do I still need hair loss medication after FUT?
Yes — transplanted follicles from the donor area are DHT-resistant and won't fall out, but native hairs in the recipient zone may continue thinning. Medication helps slow further loss.
