Is FUE Hair Transplant the Best Harvesting Technique?
my understanding of Follicular Unit Extraction vs FUT, is that each is a differing technique to produce hair grafts for hair transplantation surgery. FUE is best for someone--like me--who likes to have short hair. Otherwise, the medical literature is over whelmingly complex. Can a doctor help explain FUE and when it's the best technique?

FUT vs strip vs FUE hair transplants
Terminology may not be important to some people, but if its a matter of a large scar on your scalp it may matter to you. However, i agree that it does not stop at terminology. Once you decide if you are ok with one method vs the other(my thought is they both produce good growth but its the side effects and costs that make the difference) THEN the key thing is finding a dedicated center that is good at it. Do you want to go to a place that mixes FUE and FUT, or just...

Sounds like FUE is much better choice for you
Both procedures will potentially provide great results if you are in great hands. I think part of the answer you all ready gave to yourself. The F.U.E technique will be better for you because you like to have short hair style. F.U.E (Follicular Unit Extraction) will not create visible linear scar. In the future you would be able to shave your head and nobody would know you had surgery.

Is FUE the best harvesting technique for Hair Transplant?
The most important event in considering a hair transplant is not how the donor hair is harvested...it is the creation of a natural and attractive hairline leading to an excellent result. No machine or piece of technology can replace the artistic skills of the surgeon doing a tranplant. Individuals who like to wear their hair very short may find some benefit of FUE. However, you can also wind up with lots of little white dots because of your skin color which can be very...

Defining Follicular Unit Extraction
Follicular transplantation: Hair tends to grow in small clumps or follicular units made up of 1 to 4 hairs. FUT refers to the placement of hairs into the bald area. It looks very natural because smaller units (1-2 hairs) can be placed in the front which is very natural looking and has really transformed hair transplantation.

Is FUE Hair Transplant the Best Harvesting Technique?
I will answer this question just like it did the last one:)
Both procedures produce excellent results. It basically comes down to personal preference.
The strip method has been around longer and is the most common method of hair transplantation.
The benefits are you can move more hair per procedure at a lower cost and the outcome is remarkable. The only negative I see is you are left with a linear scar in the donor site, which is typically not recognizable unless you shave...

FUE is the best HT option for shorter hair cuts
Conventional hair transplantation methods, known as Strip, involve the removal of strips of flesh from the back and sides of the head that result in linear scars that wrap around the back of the head from ear to ear, which looks like a "smiley face", as it is known. FUE is a newer form of hair transplantation, the process by which we perform hair restoration surgery. Each hair is extracted, without leaving major scarring as Strip is known to do.

Hair Replacement
Don;t be concerned about the name. FUE or FUT are methods of follicular unit grafting. This is state of the art technology. Look at results, not terminology.

FUE vs FUT: surgeon is more important
Find a good surgeon who knows how to good hair transplants and has real results of live patients for you to see and you will get a good result no matter what they call it. You might also investigate the Fleming-Mayer Flap as well.
