Is FUT Hair Transplant in Gurugram is Right for You?
If you’re considering a hair transplant, understanding the difference between FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) and FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is important. At Satya Skin and Hair Solutions, under the expert guidance of Dr. Shaiil Gupta, we specialize in both FUE and FUT hair transplants in Gurugram and Delhi NCR. Our clinic is a trusted choice for restoring your hair with care and expertise.
What is a FUT Hair Transplant?
FUT is a technique of hair restoration where a strip of scalp tissue is removed from the donor area, normally the lower back of the head. The hair follicles from this strip are then meticulously dissected under a microscope and transplanted into balding or thinning regions. This approach permits an excessive graft yield, making it popular amongst those with sizable hair loss or in patients who have progressive baldness or who have done hair transplants earlier and now want to go for corrective hair transplant.

Advantages of FUT Hair Transplant
- High Graft Yield: FUT allows the transplantation of a large number of grafts in one session, perfect for those with high grades of hair loss. In FUT surgery, we can even get close to 6000 or 7000 grafts by doing three consecutive procedures while the maximum yield that you can safely get from FUE surgery from a scalp donor only in an average Asian patient is 2500-3000, if we don’t over-harvest or don’t extract from unsafe donor zones.
- Natural-Looking Results: The cautious placement of follicles ensures a seamless mixture with present hair for natural results.
- Permanent Solution: Transplanted hair is resistant to the hormone that causes hair loss, imparting long-lasting effects. FUT surgery allows us to take out grafts from the safest donor zone, unlike FUE surgery where the surgeon has to move to an unsafe donor zone which is extending higher up and lower down. So grafts taken from a permanent zone or safe donor zone will last longer than the ones that are taken from an unsafe donor zone.
- Cost-Effective: Due to the longevity of the procedure, FUT is regularly extra low-priced in the long run.
- Minimal Scarring: Although FUT affects a linear scar, our experienced surgeon performs trichophytic closure which results in minimal to no scar formation. We even see hair coming out of this scar tissue in case of a FUT scar. Scar is an advantage rather than a disadvantage if we compare FUT to FUE. FUE is not a scarless surgery as it is being advertised by many.
- Option of repeat surgery: FUT surgery can be done three times from the same donor area and all the grafts that are taken out from that portion can be used, unlike FUE surgery where we take one out of three grafts. After doing one FUE surgery, if we repeat it, this will cause damage to the donor, and the donor would look devastated as we are creating more gaps in the donor area, unlike FUT surgery, where the created gap is closed by stitching using trichophytic closure.
What is the typical recovery time after a FUT hair transplant?
Recovery from a FUT hair transplant in Delhi NCR normally takes about 10-14 days. Patients may experience moderate discomfort, swelling, and redness in the donor and recipient areas. Following post-operative care instructions is necessary for faster healing, and most patients can resume their routine life in a week. The new hair growth generally starts developing within 3-4 months, the best outcome of the hair transplant surgery is seen between 7-12 months. Regular follow-up appointments at Satya Skin and Hair Solutions will help you track your hair growth and make sure you get the best result.
What is the cost of FUT Hair Transplant in Gurugram and Delhi NCR?
The price of FUT hair transplant in India can differ based totally on various factors such as the extent of baldness, the number of grafts needed, the complexity of the surgery, and the experience of the surgeon. At Satya Skin and Hair Solutions, we provide fair pricing, making sure that there is no compromise with the quality of treatment.
What are the procedures for FUT Hair Transplant?
At Satya Skin and Hair Solutions, we prioritize patient health above everything. Here’s what to expect during the FUT hair transplant in Gurugram procedure:
- Consultation: The consultation begins with a thorough assessment via our board-certified surgeon to decide the customized treatment plan for your hair loss.
- Preoperative Preparation: Local anesthesia is administered to make the patient’s experience painless.
- Graft Extraction: A strip of scalp tissue is surgically excised from the donor area and the incision is closed to reduce scarring. The surgical technique is performed by a surgeon with many years of experience. FUT has a long learning curve and it takes a big dedication from the surgeon.
- Graft Preparation: The strip is dissected into character hair follicles beneath a microscope. A team of trained technicians dissect these grafts under high and operating microscopes. This is a dual investment as the microscopes are expensive and need a bigger space than an ordinary FUE surgery and secondly, the team of technicians is much bigger than what you need in FUE. All these add on the cost & effort. Training the team of technicians is also a very critical step which obviously would take time and money.
- Graft bed preparation: This is one of the most critical steps because the hair will grow in the direction of the slits which you create. We have designed some specific slit-making instruments that help us to get the perfect angles even in difficult places like eyebrows, temples, eyelashes, and beard.
- Graft Implantation: The organized grafts are implanted into the recipient area, following the natural direction of hair growth. We use “No-touch technique” by using two forceps which is the gold standard and is difficult to learn. Much more than the fancy implanters which you see these days. You will see a lot of claims where people say that we use the most advanced implanters to do grafting plantation which is not right in our experience we have seen that these implanters can cause ingrown hair which can lead to follicle and infections moreover the control of the surgeon is lost and to get those perfect angles becomes almost impossible. There is nothing new in these implanters. When we started our practice almost 22 years back, they were available then as well and we stopped using it after 1 year because of above mentioned reasons.
- Non-shaven or concealed hair transplant: We can also opt for a nonshaven hair transplant to minimize the social downtime. FUT gave you an additional advantage in that you don’t even have to shave off the donor and nothing is visible from day one.
- Post-Operative Care: Our team will provide complete instructions for post-operative care to make the healing faster.
- Mentoring the journey: We know hair transplant is a journey, it is not a point destination. We give you futuristic hair transplants in terms of donor usage and the usage of medicine so that we have enough donor reserves and a safe buffer to increase the dose of medicine in case we need to.
- Since we are not bombarding you with full doses of medicine, constant monitoring and titration of the dose of the medicine is important. When you are prescribed full doses of medicine in the beginning, there is nothing much your doctor can do in case you develop tolerance to that medicine.
- No unnecessary PRP or medications: While post-transplant you will see many clinics pushing you for multiple sessions of PRP, sometimes which exceed even ten. We don’t do that. PRP is just a supportive treatment where you need to get it done maybe once a year or twice a year depending on the need. This saves money, time, blood, and pain and it also ensures that you don’t develop tolerance to PRP very soon.
Not many surgeons are trained in doing FUT surgery. One cannot say that FUE is an advanced surgery and that FUT is outdated. Next time you hear this from any doctor or clinic, please run away from there as they have not invested enough time or effort to learn the complete art and science of hair transplant surgery.
