FUE Donor Area Scar Explained | Over 1 Year After Hair Transplant

Описание: This video provides a clear, educational demonstration of an FUE donor area more than one year after hair transplant surgery, showing what patients can realistically expect regarding scarring and healing.

FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves shaving the donor area and extracting follicles one at a time, leaving behind tiny dot scars that are typically less visible and allow patients to wear their hair very short. In contrast, FUT (strip surgery) involves removing a strip of scalp, which results in a linear scar that is closed with sutures.

In this video, we explain:
The visual difference between FUE and FUT donor scars
Why FUE scars are usually less noticeable
The pros and cons of FUE, including:
Minimal scarring
Less invasive procedure
Less discomfort
Faster healing time
Why FUE generally costs more due to manual labor and surgical precision

One important topic discussed is donor management. Overharvesting—especially large graft counts performed without proper planning—can permanently damage the donor area and create patchy thinning in the back of the scalp. This can limit future procedures and negatively affect appearance.

To protect long-term results, graft numbers are carefully limited to preserve the donor for future hair restoration needs. FUE is often ideal for mild to moderate hair loss, while FUT may be more suitable for advanced hair loss requiring higher graft counts.

This procedure was performed using manual FUE, where grafts are extracted carefully by the surgeon one follicle at a time. Experience, board certification, and specialization—especially with African and African American curly hair, one of the most technically challenging hair types—are critical factors in achieving safe, natural results.

📍 Both FUE and FUT result in scarring. Visibility varies based on technique, healing, and individual factors.
