FUT Hair Transplant

FUT Procedure Steps

1. Treatment planning and selection of strong donor follicles from the occipital area
2. Shaving the donor area slightly for surgical mapping
3. Local anesthesia is administered—patients feel no pain once it takes effect
4. Physician performs surgical excision: incision width 1–4 cm, length 10–20 cm depending on case
5. The excised skin is preserved in optimal condition, then sutured for clean closure
6. Hair follicles are separated and selected based on graft quantity and strength
7. Local anesthesia is applied to the recipient area, followed by micro-incisions for graft placement—each follicle is implanted individually
