FUE Hair Transplant

✅ Benefits of FUE

• No linear scar – only tiny dot scars that are barely visible, even with short hair.

• Ideal for short hairstyles – patients can shave down to 0.5–1 mm without obvious scarring.

• Less invasive – no sutures or staples; donor area heals faster.

• Less post-op tightness – more comfortable recovery.

• Can harvest from multiple areas – scalp, beard, chest, body hair for expanded donor supply.

• Allows selective harvesting – can target areas with best-quality follicles for natural results.

• Flexible repeat procedures – easy to do touch-ups or staged surgeries. Can do up to 2 or max of 3 FUE procedure over lifetime if meticulously performed in the past.

⚠️ Disadvantages of FUE

• Longer surgery time – extracting thousands of follicles one by one takes time.

• Higher cost per graft – more labor-intensive, uses advanced tools/robotics in some clinics.

• Lower yield for megasessions – not as efficient for very large (>4000–6000 graft) cases.

• Higher risk of transection – follicle damage possible if technique or tools aren’t perfect.

• Patchy donor appearance if overharvested – must be done evenly to avoid “moth-eaten” look.

• Limited number of lifetime grafts – overharvesting can deplete donor area faster.

• Operator dependence – quality varies widely between clinics (experience matters). Technicians without proper knowledge of Anatomy of structures, Physiology of hair graft and Pharmacology local anesthetics, are performing procedures in black market.

LSE/Strip Surgery

✅ Benefits of Strip Surgery (FUT/LSE)

• Higher graft yield per session – can harvest 1800–3500+ grafts in a single session reliably.

• Better for megasessions – efficient for cases needing maximum coverage in one sitting. Super efficient option for Hybrid / Combo procedure (Strip + FUE)

• Preserves donor area – leaves more surrounding follicles untouched, allowing future sessions.

• Higher graft survival – follicles are dissected under microscope with intact tissue and less transection.

• Shorter operating time – quicker than extracting thousands of FUE grafts individually.

• Preferred for curly or very fine hair – less risk of follicle transection compared to FUE.

• Flexible repeat procedures – Can take up to 2 or max of 3 FUT / LSE / strip procedures over lifetime if meticulously performed in the past.

⚠️ Disadvantages of Strip Surgery (FUT/LSE)

• Linear scar – a permanent line scar in donor area (though usually hidden by surrounding hair). Can also be corrected by placing grafts from FUE into the strip scar site. Minimized with Trichophytic closure.

• Longer recovery in donor area – mild tightness, numbness, or discomfort for weeks.

• Limited hairstyle choices – very short buzz cuts may reveal the scar.

• Slightly more invasive – involves sutures or staples, which need removal.

• Potential for scar stretching – if large strip is taken or scalp laxity is low.

• Post-op numbness – temporary (sometimes rarely permanent) in donor area.

• Not ideal for very tight scalps – risk of tension or wider scars.
