The FUT method is a quicker transplant procedure than the FUE method, a large number of grafts can be transplanted in one session. | A long, thin scar is left after the FUT method, which can prevent the patient from wearing their hair short. Otherwise, the scar can be more noticeable. |
The FUT method is cheaper than the FUE method as it requires a shorter amount of time and the surgeon does not have to put in as much effort to manually extract individual grafts. | Overharvesting of grafts can occur with a full strip being removed rather than individual follicles extracted as needed. |
There is no thinning of the donor area hair as a strip of skin is removed rather than pulling many individual follicles. | Shock loss is a common issue in the donor area with the FUT method as there is more tissue trauma than with the FUE method. |
The FUT method allows other hair transplants to be easily performed after the initial method as the donor area remains full of hair. |
