The difference between fut and fue in hair transplantation
is in the technique of harvesting follicular units. The fut (follicular unit
transplantation) technique is a hair transplantation technique that involves
taking a scalp strip (strip) from the donor area, which is then sutured. The
outcome of the removal of the strip is usually a very thin scar with a width of
less than 1 mm. Which can also be masked under very short hair.
This scar can be reused for further withdrawals of
subsequent interventions while remaining usually equally thin. To do this type
of collection it is not necessary to shave the entire donor area. Once the
strip has been obtained under direct visual control, the follicular units will
be extracted using the precious help of magnification systems that can be
either special types of microscopes or suitable goggles equipped with
magnifying strips.
This extremely precise and meticulous technique reduces to a
minimum the traumatism of the extraction of follicular units and in expert
hands also reduces the times between explant and replanting; in fact, the
shorter these times are, the higher the rooting rates. With the fut technique
you can have very high percentages of transplanted hair grafting not comparable
to those of the fue which are significantly lower. The fue requires a great
deal of experience, a well-trained surgical team, suitable environments and
procedures and is not within the reach of all surgeons. In summary we summarize
in the table below advantages and disadvantages of the fue:
1) the first step for debutants in hair transplantation techniques.
2) does not require a large surgical experience or a well-trained team.
3) is well suited to advertising campaigns and marketing by commercial groups.
4) has lower costs of execution, personnel, materials and operating rooms allowing operators or those for them, higher profit margins.
Disadvantages of the FUE:
1) low percentage of engraftment and regrowth of hair compared to FUT.
2) presence of many small scars visible if the patient shaves the hair.
3) with the repetition of the interventions the confluence of many small scars generates unsightly areas of thinning in the area of collection visible even with long hair.
4) after the first operation the creation of many small scars generates a subversion of the normal anatomy of the scalp of the donor area so that in the event of a second intervention such subversion can further reduce the percentage of follicular units that will take root.
