FUT Hair Transplant Dubai

FUT strip hair transplant is one of the available options for surgical hair restoration for both males and females. It is best for those who are suffering from permanent hair loss, pattern baldness, or hair thinning. The procedure involves removing a linear strip of hair-bearing skin from the baldness-resistant areas of the scalp to harvest donor’s hair. The strip is then dissected carefully under a powerful microscope to obtain individual grafts, which are then transplanted into the bald or thinning areas of the scalp.

FUT Before & After Results

Like any other hair transplant technique, FUT strip hair transplant also helps restore hair permanently. While the donor’s hair is taken from baldness-resistant areas, it’s important to understand that individual results may vary, and there’s a possibility of thinning in the recipient area over time. No guarantee is given as the results may vary from person to person.

FUT Hair Transplant Techniques

Follicular Unit Transplant involves specific techniques for harvesting donor hairs, ensuring minimal damage and maximizing graft viability. It is a simple process that starts with strip removal from the donor area and ends as the harvested grafts are implanted in the recipient area. However, surgeons use their skills in different ways to make the resulting scar least visible.

Pre-op Preparation

Preparing well for FUT strip hair transplant surgery allows you to get the most out of the surgery. Here are the things that you need to avoid before the surgery:

• Consult your doctor before stopping any medication, including blood thinners and aspirin.
• Limit the consumption of caffeinated drinks during the last week before your surgery, as advised by your doctor.
• Fill all your prescriptions well in advance to avoid any last-minute panicking.
• Get all the tests done at least 10 days prior to the surgery.

Procedure

• Step 1 – The surgeon will administer local anesthesia to keep your scalp numb during the surgery.
• Step 2 – The surgeon typically uses a specially designed scalpel to remove a strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor site, ensuring minimal scarring and maximum graft viability.
• Step 3 – The donor area will be then closed by stitching the skin on the scalp.
• Step 4 – The strip is dissected carefully by a skilled team of technicians to obtain individual grafts of the desired size.
• Step 5 – The recipient area is prepared by administering local anesthesia again and making tiny incisions using micro-sized blades or fine needles.
• Step 6 – The surgeon then carefully inserts each graft individually into these tiny incisions to complete the surgery.

Recovery

Recovery from FUT hair transplant can vary in duration and complexity, depending on individual cases and surgical techniques used.

• A downtime of 5 to 7 days will be required.
• The recovery period is around two weeks.
• Complete recovery will take several months.
• Stitches or staples will be removed after the incision on the donor area has fully healed.

Post-op Care

Here are some post-operative instructions that you must follow to enjoy a smooth recovery from FUT Strip Hair Transplant:

• Use cold compresses to manage pain and discomfort, if any.
• Do not wash your hair for 24 to 36 hours after transplantation.
• Use prescribed pain medications only.
• The timeline for avoiding blood thinners post-surgery should be determined by your surgeon based on your specific health situation.
• Avoid taking aspirin or aspirin-containing products for a couple of weeks following the surgery.
• Avoid caffeinated drinks for 5 to 7 days post-transplant.
• Do not touch your scalp unnecessarily for at least a week.
• Do not scratch or pick at the scab. Let it come off naturally.
• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight for a month or so.

Benefits

Some notable advantages of FUT hair transplant in Dubai are:

• The results of your surgery will be natural-looking.
