I am wondering about hair transplant, which is best FUE, FUT, multi unit hair grafting?

Question

I am wondering what multi unit hair grafting is compared to fue and fut. What does multi unit hair grafting mean? I am a female with slight thinning in the front. I would like to know which would give me the best look in the donor site and the new site and will I have less hair loss from the donor site with one of the methods.

FUE is only a harvesting method.  Patients choose the FUE method to avoid the linear scar while accepting it may not be optimal in growth.
You must understand most people would not notice the linear scar unless you buzz your hair very short.  
If you are considering surgery it is best to see a doctor to understand your options and have a MASTER PLAN on how to address your hair loss

My opinion for a patient such as yourself who is looking to simply increase density to a slightly thinning hairline is that an FUE or FUT follicular unit grafting procedure would be the best for you since it will provide improved density with individual hair follicles.  This will provide a much more natural hairline result.  Good luck!

Both FUE and FUT (Strip) can provide excellent result when in the hands of a skilled surgeon and team who have mastered their craft, and both techniques can provide poor results if you do not choose a top clinic.
  
A great first step would be an online consultation. Often you can submit photos to top hair restoration surgeons for a complimentary evaluation. This should help lead you in the right direction. Having multiple consultations with different doctors cannot hurt.

Hair transplant via FUE (follicular unit extraction) or FUT (follicular unit transplantation) can be successfully performed by either harvesting method. The major difference is that FUT will leave you with a posterior scar.  However, if you never plan to wear your hair really short, no one will see the scar. FUE typically costs a little more than FUT.

The many techniques use in hair transplantation, when performed in skilled hands, works well and comparison is not needed. What you need to to have a good doctor work this out with you
