\n FUT – STRIP TECHNIQUE <\/p>\n \n

\n Post-operative side effects <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n

The main disadvantage of the FUT technique is the creation of permanent and malformed scars in the donor area, which are accompanied by chronic hypesthesia of the area or even painful neuromas in the scar area. At least 5-10% of patients who have undergone FUT-Strip report chronic pain in the area of the postoperative scar, while hypesthesia over the scar is observed in 20-25% of patients who have undergone hair transplantation with the FUT-Strip method. The rates of complications increase even more in cases of reoperation or multiple FUT-Strip procedures.<\/p>\n

Another major disadvantage is that the hair follicles suffer injury during the Strip procedure resulting in reduced survival of the transplanted hair follicles. Also, the creation of sockets in the recipient area increases bleeding, swelling and pain after FUT transplantation, and the use of large-sized grafts often creates an insensitive and unnatural result, with hair that looks “fake”, like a doll or doll-like effect.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n \n

\n FUE use for FUT – Strip technique restoration <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n \n
\n

Nowadays, many people who have undergone hair transplantation with the Strip method resort to specialist Plastic Surgeons in an attempt to restore or reduce the scar created by the Strip. Specifically, at Advanced Hair Clinics, a 35-40% of patients undergoing FUE hair transplants have previously undergone FUT hair transplants and come in for either thickening or correction of the natural look of the hairline.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, in 15-20% of cases who have previously undergone FUT transplantation, a correction of the post-operative scar is required because it is malformed or visible. For all these reasons, there has been a steady decline in hair transplantation with the FUT-Strip method worldwide in recent years.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\tFUT STRIP scars – Restoration with the FUE method #advancedhairclinics<\/a>\n\t<\/button>\n\n\t\t
