FUT stands for Follicular Unit Transfer. In FUT hair restoration surgery, a strip of flesh is removed from the donor area of the head. The follicular units are then removed from the strip of flesh and then implanted on to the recipient site.A permanent linear scar at the donor site and invasive nature of procedure would not make a patient comfortable to undergo FUT technique. FUE stands for Follicular Unit Extraction. FUE is less invasive compared to FUT and patients hardly have a down time. With the use of 0.8 and 0.9mm punches, the marks that appear in the donor area are cosmetically negligible. For patients with poor donor area (rear aspect of scalp) , body hair (beard and chest hair) can be extracted by FUE method. Also for selective extraction of single hair for eyebrows and eye lash transplantation, FUE is better than FUT. Ultimately the final outcome depends on the donor area of the patient and maintenance post transplantation.
