How is the length of the FUT 'strip' determined?

FUT strip length is determined based on donor density, quality of hair, and amount of grafts needed for the procedure.

FUT methods will always leave a noticeable scar in the back of your head which it will cause a psychology discomfort with the way you look. nowadays there is more advanced practice for hair transplant such as FUE and DHI. Both of the, are a non chirurgical operation, that leave no scars in the donor area. The successful rate is 90%, results between 6 months and 12 months and patients satisfaction is over 95%.The difference between FUE and DHI is the implantation phase. The extraction is the same by using micromotor to extract the graft individually from the donor area. For FUE the implantation is based on creating small incision in the receptive area to implant the grafts and for DHI it will be by using Choi pen with no creation of incision, directly the graft will be implanted without leaving any marks. Before choosing any methods you should creation a comparison between techniques, advantages and inconvenients

Length of the FUT 'strip' determined with demand of surgeon to restore the bald area and
skin laxity of the patient . Generally I was harvesting a strip of skin from one side of temporal fringe to other ste so lenght was around 25-28 cm .. I never use that follicular unit strip surgery technique anymore because the patient would have a long, 2-4 mm width pretty visible scar on back of his/her head in FUT technique , because of sutures to close the gap.
You may find a cheaper but experienced center in İstanbul for FUE operation .

The length of the donor strip incision is determined by the number of follicular unit grafts required for the hair restoration. There are slightly less than 100 follicular units/cm2, so if a 1cm wide strip is used, a hair restoration procedure requiring 1800 grafts would need a strip that measured slightly more than 18cm in length.

A 2500 graft procedure will need a strip of 20cm length with 1.25 cm width

The width of the strip is determined by scalp looseness or laxity

Strip length is determined by how large the number of grafts needed are. Strip length is also determined based on quality of donor region. Strip width may vary based on number of grafts as well.

The length and height of the removed strip determine how many grafts are removed. The average person has 600 Follicular units per square inch so the removed strip can be calculated once the density of the hair in the donor area is determined.
