I had one FUT procedure to transplant grafts to both my front hairline and crown area. I was very happy with the results and my stylist said the scar was barely noticeable. However, one thing I suffered from was tenderness around the back of the head for several weeks. And it took years for all of my head to feel the same. Parts of my head felt numb. I was told it was due to nerves that were cut during the procedure that take a long time to grow back. It was a strange sensation but not painful. Just want to put that out there.
Hi Mr xman .. I am having the same problem ..my skin of the back head is still very hard even after 01 year of FUT ..could you pls advice me how long it takes to be normal ?
@@ishantsingh1134 It took several years for my entire head to feel normal. However, you should feel it getting a little better every month. Again, it shouldn't be painful, it just feels tender the first year and then a strange numbness for a couple of more years afterwards.
You guys have single handedly convinced me to take charge of my hair loss. I got a prescription of Finasteride today and got an appt with Bosley on Tuesday. I am heavy leaning FUT. Thanks guys you rock. I have watched almost all your videos.
Good luck, man. I was on finasteride for about 6 months.... everything was fine, then one night...BAM! most frightening month of my life. Mostly back to normal, but there was permanent damage. I promise you I am not an alarmist, just wouldn't want anyone to go through what I did. My recommendation, if any, would be to microdose and see if it does the trick. I would also commit to getting very regular blood work for T, DHT, estrogen, etc. Have a very good doctor in your corner to help monitor. Feel free to reach out for more info....
I hope in future we will have a vaccine or something to treat hair loss ... I haven't lost my hair and I hope I won't because my father and grand father didn't loss their hair. But I can feel the pain of losing hair.
Dear Vikram, The last time you responded me advising me that FUT is probably better than FUE due to chances of follicles dying on FUE procedure due to amount of time consumed before transplantation. Can you give me an idea how long the pain would bother us after FUT? Does it affect your movements to large extent with terrible pain for weeks or months? I would appreciate your response. Thanks
Thank you gentlemen. I just got an FUT today for the crown and I was a little bit surprised how painful it was. Worst pain of my life. If I do a hairline transplant in the future I think I will go with FUE as the less invasive option.
@@JB-ej8zy The results are pretty much as expected so far. Not perfect by any means but big improvement in density. From a pretty bare bald spot to blending in pretty well with the rest of the hair. I had shock loss along the FUT scar with a bare 1 inch strip that took 3 months to heal so that wasn't fun. Now the scar is in really good shape.
@@muheeb5888Mediocre. Left with a 4-5 mm scar from ear to ear. I expected more coverage from the 2500 grafts. I got an FUE last week 1700 to hairline & 1100 for crown and it looks like results will be amazing with the two surgeries. Just left with the annoying scar so I can't keep the hair too short.
@UCgBacpsTf7mumOijjwKki8A Well i’ll just talk to the surgeon or get micropigmentation if thats the case the surgeons a brain surgeon too so might alot of practice. FUE can look awful too if not done correctly
Hi outstanding content. Is minoxidil and finasetride should be used life long after hair transplant? This is the only question not many doctors answered properly. Hope u wil answer sir. Thanks!
It may help speed the growth of the transplanted grafts, but after that it wont make any difference to them. You should continue taking it to prevent further hair loss; i.e protect the remainder of your hair.
My surgeon wants to do both afue and FUT he wants to do the FUT on the Crown to give a better density does this sound right? My report says that I need 3500 grafts and I have a good donor area and I'm stable with 2 to 3 years on finasteride and Minoxidil. I am 53 years old
I don't get the point about getting fut so people wouldn't know you had surgery. Sure if they only see the back. On the front though yiu suddenly have lots of small new hairs and then a month later total shock loss decimating your native hair too.
Hello Dr.Jayaprakash, I must say I really enjoyed your videos which gives everyone great knowledge about what is req for them in terms of hair transplant. Your info is detailed,transparent,simple yet very informative. Q : How long does one carry the pain post FUT Surgery? I heard it stays for a long time makes your life difficult. Although I'm not worried much about the scar. I'm very much worried about the pain as some say they were bleeding through the nose. Plz help me understand. Thanks
If your surgeon is as great as they should be, you will even feel them cutting the strip. You will have some tightness while the sutures are in while it is healing, then you will feel no difference whatsoever. FUT is the best procedure available. FUE has zero margin for error on thousands of extractions. FUT, all you need is a surgeon skilled with a scalpel and sutures which is much more likely. FUT doesn't damage the extracted hairs. THAT is the most important factor. More healthy hairs in a much faster process. Faster is better when it comes to transplanting anything live. Would you want a heart transplant to take a long time or be done quickly... Think about it. And the robot is a flawed method that has been marketed for people scared of the scalpel. Think about it.
Is it possible to do the surgery by making the patient unconcious so that the patient wont feel pain while performing the surgery? Unconcious means the thing doctors do when performing serious surgeries, i dont know the exact term for that sorry.
The surgery itself isn't painful because they numb the area and if I remember correctly I was also given anesthesia intravenously. It didn't knock me out but I felt no pain. They specifically had an anesthesiologist to administer it and monitor me during the whole procedure. It was a long day. It took about 8 hours. I had grafts placed along my front hairline and the crown. You do get a break after they harvest the grafts and before they start implanting them. I had an FUT done.
There's no pain at all. It was actually quite confortable. I got a FUT done and I could literally feel the doctor making the incisions and removing the strip of hair but it literally had Zero pain. It was a really weird experience but I found it quite alright. The pain in the 2 days follwing was definitely worse than the surgery lol. I'm sure if you get a FUE its even easier.
@CVK yes. They get you to take Tylenol 3s (codeine)during the procedure, but they also use needles for local anesthesic, and it works great. Felt absolutely nothing. The pain the day after was the worse, they prescribed me Oxycodone for that. It worked like a charm as well. After day 3 there really isn't any pain.
I’ve had FUT done by Russell Knudsen and he is a fantastic surgeon he really knows his profession. I can wear my hair at a number 2 at the back with no problem I could go to a 1 if I wanted too . The scar is hardly noticeable it’s a very thin scar . My hairdresser didn’t even pick it up . And there was no pain at all during the surgery and minimal post op . Dr Knudsen did a great job !
The big thing for me is that 2nd positive note where they said you could keep your hair looking relatively normal. Things that turned me away was the idea of walking around with scars all over my head until it started to grow back. I didn’t know there were different types of transplants
Sir, I did FUT .. result is ok but not the best ....but the only problem is my skin of the back head is still very hard after the 01 year ...could you pls advice me how long it takes to be completely normal ?
Eric Smith FUT leaves a thin linear scar on the back of the head - they stitch up the strip and hair grows around and over the scar. FUE leaves lots of small dotted scars around the back of the head which hair grows around. The scars are where the donor hair was taken. Do your research on which scars are more noticeable in your opinion.

How many grafts did you get. ? Was it only one procedure?
So are you happy with the results? From 1 to 10, 10 being ecstatic, what number would you pick? Also, how much did it cost?

It would recommend dr diep for your fut he gives great results
@@jacksonrauch9429 what happened to you?
@@realbeetlejuice feel free to email me jackson.rauch@yahoo.com
Thank you for answering and relieving my concerns about FUT!!!

Would smp on the scar allow for shorter hairstyles?
If i had fue first. Will i be able to get fut then? Means fue first then fut

I have had FUT procedures by natural transplant 5 days ago so far so good half the numbness is gone I had big procedure with 7000 graft.
How’s your progress?
I thought FUT was far less painful than FUE. Results are way better with FUT as well.

I am considering a combo procedure of FUT&FUE . What did you decide?
Dcotor, is there any surgery available under the name ‘hairline pushback surgery’ for a low transplanted hairline?
I don't get the point about getting fut so people wouldn't know you had surgery.
Sure if they only see the back. On the front though yiu suddenly have lots of small new hairs and then a month later total shock loss decimating your native hair too.
If I need 6000 hair transplants, can I use FUT for all? Or do I need to use some FUE?
If you need 6000 grafts you will have to do two hair transplant. You can do FUT then FUE if your donor is good enough.

Who was the surgeon? Who would you recommend right now?
Can a FUT scar possibly become a Hypertrophic scar or a Keloid?
Yes it can, but rarely though.
Hypertrophic scar meaning a wide scar that expands?
Hi
what if my only reasons for getting isn't hair loss but a naturally long forehead
Yes, in many cases we do hair transplants in people who have congenitally high hairlines, who want to change the hairline shape.
After the surgery my doctor punched me in the back of the head! The back of the head!!!!!!!!
Does donor hair grow back?
No.
