FUE vs. FUT Hair Transplant Harvesting

[@majik_man]

I just had my Transplant on 11/7/22. I was wondering which is better to be honest and watched this video before. I would lean heavy towards the FUT procedure. For one your not systematically thinning your hair everywhere like in an FUE. And there was an added bonus that i dont think could of happened using the FUE procedure. I was scheduled for 2000-3000 grafts. Well my donor are was thick and i had very good elasticity. I ended up getting 6000 grafts from my FUT donor spot. They did double the amount of grafts and they didn't adjust the price at all. I'm almost certain they wouldn't have kept going on a FUE procedure to give my an additional 3000 grafts for free. I'm sure no one thinks about this when choosing which one to use. FUT seems far superior to me.

Dr, what are your thoughts on the yield provided by FUT vs FUE particularly in the context of relatively younger patients who may require a high number of grafts.

I'm afraid your question is more easily asked than answered, unfortunately. It's not an exact science, separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Of course I would look at the doctors themselves, through their own marketing (though very cynically, taking it all with a grain of salt, remembering that they are after all essentially salesmen), but would tend to focus more on consumer reviews/reports, to the extent that you can find them. The best doctors do obviously tend to charge more, but just because one is more expensive than another does not necessarily mean they are actually better. So, it's not an easy thing, as I said. Wish it was, though. Research, research, research, is my main advice.

[@davitavoyan1150]

I just had an FUE done and I wonder if I can get an FUT for my 2nd procedure. What’s the reason you recommend FUT first? If I get FUT and FUE, either way don’t I have the same number of grafts and even if I depleted my FUT strip with an FUE beforehand it doesn’t decrease my grafts because they’re already on my hairline? And the individual grafts that were extracted from non-strip donor area were going to be extracted after a 2nd FUE anyway? So it seems like it shouldn’t matter what you start with. Or am I misunderstanding something?

[@satyaskinhairsolutions]

You are right, if you are working on the hairline, FUE would give you better density & natural look. If you are working in the crown area for your 1st surgery, then FUT can be a better choice, as FUE would give you better hairline grafts, which you can save for future if needed. Anyway the number remains the same either ways. 1st FUT, followed by FUE is ok, but sometimes the hair can get pulled because of the scar of FUT, in the adjoining areas leading to higher transection rates of FUE, depending upon the extent of scarring. 1st FUE followed by FUT, however poses the same challenge at microscopic level. But here you have an advantage that surgeon can visualise the grafts under microscope as FUT is not a blind procedure like FUE. You can draw your conclusions.

AS I have been taking Finisteride to help with further hairloss for the last 4-5 months and it has literally done nothing to combat the hairloss. Also with the FUE would the scars be very noticeable?

@@UuU1001. if all else fails and you have to go to the bald or want short hair, the scar on your back really looks bad I had to use grafts in the fue procedure to fill in the hairless line so I can wear my hair shorter than 12mm on the side

@@alexs.2069 how many grafts did you need extracted the for that fut procedure?

@@UuU1001. I can't say exactly but I guess at least a 100 to cover the fut scar

@@alexs.2069 I say because if you got 3000+ for your fut procedure maybe it will likely leave a very visible scar. I don’t doubt your experience but I think it may have been a bad surgeon or just pure bad luck in healing. Researching online there seems to be some cases of very visible scars from fut, but there are some good and very subtle results from fut online too. So i guess if going with fut one would need a good surgeon and luck in healing correctly.
