Regular Member bigtyivier2k2 Posted February 9, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2020 I was watching UFC last night and Joe Rogan who had a transplant before you can see the huge scar across the back of his head. It even had a light purplish tint. This made me wonder why anyone would choose FUT over FUE? Or is FUT the only option if you need alot of coverage?

Senior Member paddyirishman Posted February 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2020 Thats the risk you take with fut having a scar. Much easier to see than FUE.The scar can also stretch to make it worse. Paddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TrixGlendevon Posted February 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2020 I don't take meds and wanted to get the most out of my donor as I could and have as many of the grafts survive as possible with as little transection as possible. I wasn't concerned about the scar as I am yet to see one bad scar from the clinic I chose. I can also put grafts into the scar at a later date. The scar is not an issue for me, at all.

LonelyGraft Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Better survival less costly limited donor difficult hair/root characteristics maximing donor grafts available over a lifetime etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 9, 2020 Administrators Share Posted February 9, 2020 FUT is a more efficient harvesting technique. You can maximize your donor supply choosing FUT first. Some guys don’t wear their hair that short, so it’s a no-brainer. Having said that, I chose FUE for the fact that I like my hair short. I’m also okay with using hair loss concealer.

Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted February 9, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 9, 2020 It depends on what your goals are and what your donor characteristics are as well (for example, if a patient lacks scalp laxity, FUE will be more appropriate). Here are some great resources on this topic: https://fellermedical.com/fut-vs-fue/ https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/downloads/BernsteinMedical_FUE-vs-FUT.pdf 1 My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Regular Member Medina Posted February 10, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2020 The loss of a few grafts with FUE outweighs the risk of scar with FUT in my opinion FUE all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
