What to expect after FUT Hair Transplant?

Hair transplant world has witnessed an astonishing change, courtesy the advent of technologies targeted to add precision and perfection to this aesthetic procedure. Not so long ago, Hair transplant was considered to be a less safe and natural procedure involving some post op complications and not so appealing results. Thanks to recent innovations in the field, that has made it possible to reduce the above stated observation. Today, the modern day Hair Transplant Industry is dominated by broadly two techniques each with a specific application scope best decided by the surgeon performing the procedure. After assessing patient’s scalp, existing hair quality and density. They also assess the donor to recipient ratio, carry out some detailed tests and then suggest the right hair transplant procedure for the patient. The target however is always the same, world class result with maximum possible hair density and ultimate natural looking locks. Working in this direction is Medispa Hair Transplant Clinic in Jaipur which is one of the country’s best clinics for getting Hair Transplant in Jaipur. The clinic under the able guidance of Dr. Suneet Soni who is one of the renowned names in the field of Hair Transplant is providing the best in class Hair Transplant in Jaipur.

The two major techniques in the field of Hair Transplant are 

1. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplant) hair transplant technique involves isolation of a thin strip of scalp skin from the areas where the permanent roots reside which then is transferred to graft separation room for dissection of individual hair grafts. These dissected individual hair grafts are then transplanted to desired recipient bald area. Each of the steps is performed under the high loop magnification to ensure the keen detailing and perfect result. The donor area is sutured back using an advanced revolutionary technique called “trichophytic closure” which allows the donor area to be healed leaving almost invisible scarring. 

2. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant technique is performed by pulling out individual hair graft directly from the scalp area where the permanent roots reside and then these hair grafts are directly transplanted to the desired bald area. This technique should be performed by extracting each graft from a greater distance to ensure almost invisible scarring at the donor area 

The few advantages of FUT Hair Transplant procedure are that it enables harvesting of higher number of hair grafts approximately 3000 – 3500 hair grafts. Therefore, this technique could be a method of choice in extensive bald cases like Norwood grade V and VI. Secondly, this technique can avoid shaving of the head which is more popular amongst female patients and several male patients. Thirdly, this leaves almost invisible linear scarring at the donor area, thanks to the revolutionary “trichophytic closure” technique for suturing.

What to expect after FUT hair transplant? 

What comes across as a common worry in patients is what to expect after an FUT Hair Transplant procedure. Associated with this technique, is a recovery period and patients are asked to wait for some healing time before they completely recover, and before results begin to show. 

Within a few days of FUT surgery one can expect experience scabbing in the recipient area of the scalp and some swelling may occur on the forehead. Patient may also experience some discomfort in the donor area but this can be treated with ordinary painkillers and will soon subside. This will be advised properly by your surgeon but broadly involves 10-12 days before scabbing subsides, stitches are removed. Between 14 days to 2 months, the patients might expect the new hair grafts to shed; this is on account of resting phase of the grafts and is usually nothing to worry about. Around after 4 months or so, the new hair will start to grow and may take up to one year for them to thicken, mature and look like other natural hair on the scalp. However, during the entire post op process it is strongly advised to go for regular check up or follow up with your surgeon and clearly follow the instructions provided by him/her. Sometimes, there may be some minor complications after an FUT Hair Transplant Procedure which includes: bleeding, infection, bruising around the eyes, itching, inflammation of hair follicles etc. However, these complications (if at all they happen) are minor and usually subside within few weeks. So, there is nothing to worry if you have an able surgeon performing the procedure and guiding you during post-op. Hence, it is extremely crucial to choose the right surgeon and the right clinic!
