FUT Hair Transplant

High-density coverage, lasting results, and artistic hairline design – performed by skilled FUT transplant specialists.

Why FUT Remains a Trusted Hair Transplant Method

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is a surgical hair restoration method offered at Vagus Hair Transplant, where a thin strip of scalp is removed from the back of the head (donor area), and individual follicular units are harvested and transplanted to bald or thinning areas. This technique is known for its high graft yield, making it a preferred option for patients requiring dense coverage.

The extracted grafts are carefully dissected under a microscope to preserve their integrity and ensure natural growth. FUT, available at Vagus Hair Transplant, is especially effective for individuals with advanced hair loss who want maximum results in a single session. It offers long-lasting, natural-looking outcomes with minimal disruption to your existing hair.

FUT Hair Transplant Process: From Consultation to Results

Personalized Consultation & Hair Loss Evaluation

We begin by carefully evaluating your hairline, donor area, and scalp elasticity using the Norwood Scale.

Strip Harvesting from Donor Area

The surgeon takes a scalp strip from the back of the head, stitches it, and leaves a fine, hidden scar.

Graft Dissection Under Microscope

Technicians carefully separate the strip into follicular units under microscopes to prepare grafts.

Recipient Area Preparation

Tiny incisions are made in the bald/thinning area, mimicking your original hair pattern and density.

Graft Placement

Follicular units are manually implanted in the recipient area for dense, natural-looking results.

Post-Op Care & Recovery Guidance

You’re given a recovery plan with washing guidelines and medications to support healing and regrowth.

Ideal Candidates for FUT Hair Restoration

Men or women with advanced hair loss (Norwood scale 4–7)

Ideal for those seeking maximum coverage in areas with significant thinning or balding.
FUT provides dense results in fewer sessions compared to FUE.
It’s especially recommended when the frontal and crown areas both need restoration.

Those needing more grafts in one session

FUT hair transplant allows the extraction of a larger number of grafts efficiently and safely.
This makes it cost-effective for patients with high-density goals.
It’s also a great choice when time or budget limits multiple procedures.

Patients with good scalp laxity and a stable donor area

A flexible scalp makes it easier to harvest the donor strip without tension.
This minimizes discomfort and improves healing after the procedure.
A strong donor area ensures natural, permanent results.

Individuals who don’t mind a fine scar in the donor region

The scar is typically hidden beneath existing hair and fades over time.
It poses no issue for those who wear their hair medium to long.
Proper closure techniques at Vagus ensure minimal scarring.

How Many Grafts Can Be Extracted with FUT?

Typically, 2,000 to 4,000 grafts can be harvested in one session depending on your scalp condition.

Can I Combine FUT with Other Treatments?

Yes, FUT can be combined with treatments like PRP, laser therapy, or medications to boost results. Your hair transplant surgeon will recommend the best mix based on your hair loss.

What is the success rate of FUT?

FUT has a high success rate, often achieving 90–95% graft survival with proper technique and care. Results depend on factors like surgeon expertise, donor quality, and patient aftercare.
