FUE Hair Transplant Procedure
FOLLICULAR UNIT EXTRACTION “FUE”– WHAT TO EXPECT.
Patients undergoing an FUE hair transplant procedure often have many questions in relation to the procedure, the post operative care as well as how they will look in the days, weeks and months following their hair transplant. Here we will answer some of the more common questions that FUE patients have;
DO I HAVE TO SHAVE MY HEAD TO HAVE A HAIR TRANSPLANT?
For patients undergoing an FUE hair transplant in most cases the entire head must be shaved on the day of the procedure. If you would rather not shave your head for your procedure then a Follicular Unit Transplantation “FUT” transplant may be appropriate where shaving the entire head is not needed and only the strip of hair to be removed is trimmed.
I DON’T NORMALLY SHAVE MY HEAD, WON’T EVERYONE NOTICE IF I SUDDENLY HAVE A SHAVED HEAD FOR MY FUE PROCEDURE?
For patients considering an FUE procedure who do not normally wear their hair short, we recommend a gradual change in your grooming to a shorter hairstyle over the months and weeks before your transplant. This allows your friends and family to get used to a tighter cut. Once the procedure has been completed and the transplanted hair begins to grow you can gradually let your hair grow longer again.
HOW DO I KNOW IF FUT OR FUE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR ME?
Your consultant surgeon should advise you on the best technique for you. FUE, in general, is more appropriate for patients who like to cut their hair short or who may have a limited donor supply. For patients with white or fine hair or undergoing a large hair transplant procedure, FUT is usually the recommended technique.
IF I UNDERGO AN FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT WHAT WILL I LOOK LIKE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE?
As the head must be shaved in an FUE hair transplant the appearance of the skin immediately post operatively can be more obvious than in an FUT transplant where your own hair would give some camouflage in the initial post-operative period. For most patients immediately following an FUE hair transplant at HRBR there will be some redness in the recipient (where the hair is placed) and the donor areas (where the hair is taken). You will not however leave the clinic with bandages. The post operative instructions at HRBR require you to spray both areas with a special solution that should reduce this redness over the first few days. Following the post operative instructions carefully will also ensure that little or no scabbing will occur in the initial post operative period.
