transplant surgery was performed in Japan in 1939, and now we are in the modern
age where physicians develop new techniques and treatments to minimize the
appearance of the transplanted hair on the scalp. Surgeons use two types of
methods, FUT ( Follicular unit transplant) and FUE (follicular unit
extraction). The method you use will depend on your desire and your doctor's
recommendations.
FUT: in this method, the surgeon takes a
strip of follicle from the back or front side. Tiny holes are made in the bald
areas and place the prepared graft into the recipients' side. The number of
grafts depends on your hair type, size of the transplant side, quality and
color.
FUE: in this procedure, the surgeon
collects individual follicles directly from the scalp and inserts them into the
small incision of the bald area. This technology is more useful and developed
than FUT. This surgery takes more time but eliminates the linear scars. Fue
