Is the recovery different for FUT vs FUE?

Hello,

Thank you for your question. There is no difference in recipient area as far as recovery between an FUE or FUT procedure. The difference between the two is in the donor area .

Hello,
The recovery in the donor area is primarily the difference as the method of harvesting the follicular grafts is different between Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) and Follicular Unit Excision/Extraction (FUE). In both types of hair transplant surgery (FUE and FUT), the recipient area sites are created with the same surgical tools and placement of the follicular grafts into these recipient sites is carried out in the same manner as well. As far as recipient area concealment, many doctors allow patients to keep the "native" (non-transplanted) hairs in this area as is and create recipient area sites and place grafts around the native hairs. Some practices ask that patients fully shave or "buzz" their scalp hairs all over as this can make the graft placement process easier. However, this is not a prerequisite to having either FUE or FUT surgery as far as the recipient area is concerned. That being said, this is a requirement in donor harvesting (from donor region) with FUE.

This is the most frequently asked question by most of the patients. Anyone who opts for a hair transplantation should be aware of the fact that the recovery will differ from person to person. In both FUT and FUE medical procedures the recuperation time and the time taken to fully recover are completely different . You will see that before the finish of the primary week the scar will in any case hurt while resting. This responsiveness can last a while. Subsequently, the FUT strategy has a significantly longer recuperation period when compared to the FUE method.

With regards to the FUE method, the following day after the procedure you will actually be able to wander around the house. You may now eliminate your bandage and notice an extremely speedy recuperation and healing. Two days after the medical procedure you will stroll around the house and be able to unwind with no discomfort.

Many individuals delay until the scabs tumble off the relocated region until they return to work. This can require around ten to fourteen days. Showering with saline will work on the healing system and in this manner the scabs will tumble off faster.
