Which specialist performs FUT hair transplant?

FUT, also called strip harvesting or follicular unit transplantation, removes a strip of hair-bearing skin from the donor area. Follicular units are prepared from that strip and placed into recipient sites. The specialist must plan both graft distribution and closure of the donor area.

During consultation, the trichology specialist examines the pattern and cause of hair loss, the quality of donor hair, scalp laxity, and the desired hairline. They should explain the linear donor-area scar, healing process, and alternatives that may suit your situation.

Arrange a detailed scalp consultation with a qualified trichology specialist who has experience with FUT. Share your medical history, previous scalp procedures, medicines, and hair-loss timeline. Confirm who performs the harvesting, graft preparation, placement, and follow-up, and request clear written aftercare instructions.

Have unexplained, rapidly changing, painful, inflamed, or scar-like hair loss assessed before choosing a transplant. Following FUT, seek prompt advice for wound separation, persistent bleeding, fever, pus, spreading redness, marked swelling, or pain that becomes more intense.

Ask how FUT compares with other options for your scalp, where the donor strip will be taken, how the scar will be closed, what recovery restrictions apply, and how future hair loss will be managed.
