Can you do FUE (or multiple sessions) and then do FUT if you run out of donor grafts with FUE?

February 28, 2018
Asked By:TJL_CA in Orange County, CA

37yo, NW-3V here. Contemplating a hair transplant. Like most other candidates, the progression of future loss (and/or rate of loss) is somewhat unpredictable. My hair loss seems to have currently stabilized somewhat (who knows for how long). Question: can I do FUE once, & then possibly twice? I'm thinking that may yield the amount of grafts I'll need for my lifetime. However, if NOT, would I be able to do FUT later to extract max grafts, if I need them later? I wear my hair short, hence the FUE

Answer: There is only a finite number of donor hair you have. FUE and FUT are just one way to harvest hairs. You can't switch
