FUT Hair Transplant in Bangalore

Commonly known as strip surgery, Follicular Unit Transplant or FUT hair transplant surgery is one of the most popular methods of hair transplant. This is the commonly chosen procedure for situations where the recipient area is large and a greater number of grafts are required. A strip of hair will be taken from the donor area and the area will carefully sutured back, leaving nothing more than a thin scar, which should get covered easily when the hair grows back. The extracted strip of hair is divided into grafts, each of which will consist one or two hair follicles. These grafts are then implanted into the donor area, in a manner that is not much different from FUE.

How FUT hair transplant works?

The process of a FUT hair transplant starts from the time of your first consultation where the donor and recipient areas are identified. This is what normally follows:

• On the day of the procedure, the new hairline will be marked with a marker.
• The strip of hair will be removed from the donor area and stored with care.
• The part of the scalp where the strip was removed will be stitched back.
• Grafts will be removed from the strip of hair and kept in a medical solution till the time they are ready for implantation.
• The grafts will be implanted into the recipient area.
• In some clinics, PRP after hair transplant is provided, because that is shown to provide much better results.

You will also be given a set of instructions about how to take care of your newly implanted grafts and it is imperative that you adhere to all of them.

Ideal Candidate for FUT Hair Transplant?

No matter how much hair you are losing, it is quite possible that you might not be able to reap the benefits of FUT hair transplant, because there are some factors that make a person an ideal candidate. These include:

• Age – this is perhaps the biggest factor, because if you are too young, the hair loss might not have stabilised
• Type of hair loss – the conditions that are leading to the hair loss will have a role to play in whether a transplant will work
• Hair type – some types of hair are better suited for transplant than others

How much does FUT Hair Transplant cost?

FUT hair transplant cost is not something that is fixed, because it is based on a range of factors. These factors could vary from the geographical location of the clinic to the clientele; however the main ones include:

• The expertise of the surgeon who is doing the actual procedure – the more experienced and practised the hand, the higher the charge
• The licenses, accreditation, certifications of the clinic and practising doctors – the higher the levels of accreditation and licensing, the costing could be on the higher side
• The extent of the donor and recipient areas – if the donor area is very large and the recipient area small, it could mean that extraction needs to be done from other parts of the body
• The number of grafts extracted and utilised – the number of grafts used and the time taken to extract them will play a role. FUT cost per graft is one of the most important factors that decide the final costing.

Recovery time after FUT Hair Transplant

While you should be able to return home the same day, you will need to rest for the first few days, post which you should be able to resume most of your normal activities.

• Your first hair wash will be after 48 hours and you will be asked not to stand under a shower or use hot water.
• You will also be asked to sleep with your head slightly elevated.
• No matter how much it itches, you cannot itch, as that could lead to the grafts falling out.

As long as you ensure that you take all the precautions that you have been advised, the recovery should be smooth and new hair growth should start in a few months.
