Hair loss affects millions of men and women worldwide, often leading to a loss of confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, hair transplant surgery offers a permanent, natural-looking solution to thinning hair and baldness. At Maurice M. Khosh, MD, FACS, in NYC, we specialize in FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), two advanced hair restoration techniques tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs and goals.
Why Choose Hair Transplant Surgery?
Hair transplant surgery is one of the most effective ways to restore hair. Unlike temporary fixes such as topical treatments or medications, hair transplants provide permanent results. Transplanted hair is taken from areas resistant to hair loss, ensuring longevity and continued growth. Benefits include:
- Permanent Solution: Transplanted hair grows naturally and lasts a lifetime with proper care.
- Natural Appearance: Advanced techniques like FUE and FUT ensure realistic hairlines and density.
- Minimally Invasive Options: Modern procedures involve less discomfort and shorter recovery times.
According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery, nearly 700,000 hair transplant procedures were performed globally in 2021, reflecting their popularity and effectiveness.
Exploring FUE and FUT Techniques
Dr. Khosh offers both FUE and FUT hair transplants, ensuring every patient receives a personalized approach to hair restoration.
What Is FUE?
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is a minimally invasive method that involves harvesting individual hair follicles from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) and transplanting them to the areas of hair loss. Benefits of FUE include:
- No linear scarring; ideal for patients who wear short hairstyles.
- Minimal downtime and quicker recovery.
- Highly customizable for smaller or larger treatment areas.
What Is FUT?
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) involves removing a thin strip of scalp from the donor area to extract follicular units. These follicles are then transplanted to the recipient site. Benefits of FUT:
More grafts can be harvested in a single session, making it ideal for extensive hair loss.
- Cost-effective compared to FUE for large areas.
- Excellent long-term growth rates due to the preservation of follicular units.
Which Technique Is Right for You?
The choice between FUE and FUT depends on factors such as the extent of hair loss, lifestyle preferences, and individual goals. During your consultation, Dr. Khosh will assess your hair loss pattern, scalp health, and aesthetic objectives to recommend the most suitable procedure.
