FUT or FUE better for young patient

[gxm100]

Hey Everyone,

 

I'm in my mid 20s, considering a hair transplant. My goal is to wait another year or 2 but it definitely doesn't hurt to do plenty of research. Anyway, I'm wondering which you think is better for a younger patient FUT or FUE. From what I understand, FUT has the upsides of better yield, more grafts at once, less expensive, best coverage BUT there's the scar which leaves no chance to go back to bald if things don't work. FUE has the upside of being more discrete, allows for edgier hairstyles, and seems like you could probably go back to shaving if things don't work out (I know there is still scarring) BUT sounds like it has a worse yield, maybe a worse success rate if in the wrong hands(??), less grafts, and is a good bit more expensive.

 

Just looking for people to way in on which they think makes the most sense. Personally I'm leaning toward FUT because I think, being young, it is the way that I can get the most coverage as hair loss progresses over my lifetime.
