Are Scalp Laxity Exercises useful? Will they help me increase the laxity of my scalp for a FUT surgery?

For the majority of patients, there is enough scalp laxity so that exercises are unnecessary. Generally, if a patient’s scalp becomes too tight for FUT we would switch to FUE. On occasion, after multiple FUT procedures, if the scalp is snug and FUT is still desirable, then scalp laxity exercises can be useful.

The scalp laxity is a factor in FUT surgery but the scalp exercises is something your doctor may recommend if your donor area seem too "tight".  It is at the discretion of your surgeon. 

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes you can get good results with Scalp Laxity exercises. Best wishes.Dr. T

Some patients will see a marginal improvement in scalp laxity with regular up and down massaging of the occipito-parietal scalp which might allow a wider strip to be removed in a Strip Follicular Unit Transplantation (Strip FUT) hair transplant surgery procedure 

The use of Scalp Laxity Exercises can make a significant difference in the laxity of your donor area within 3 months or so.
