During FUT, your doctor will remove a thin strip of skin with hair on it from the back of your head, cut it into hair grafts (pieces of skin containing 1-4 hairs), and insert it into incisions where you want your hair to grow. The area the skin was stripped from will be stitched to promote healing, but you’re likely to be left with a thin scar.

Most patients return to work within 1–2 weeks. The transplanted area may be red and scabbed for 1–2 weeks. Transplanted hairs shed within the first few weeks (a normal part of the process) before regrowing permanently over the following months.
