Achieve Maximum Fullness With Minimal Sessions

At CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, we understand that hair loss affects more than appearance; it can quietly impact confidence and how you feel each day. With the Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) method, our surgeons use precision and artistry to relocate your own healthy hair follicles, restoring a fuller, natural look designed to last a lifetime.

Board-certified plastic surgeons Dr. M. Bradley Calobrace and Dr. Juan Quintero are known for their expertise and refined aesthetic approach. They ensure that your results feel effortless, natural, and authentically you.

What Is FUT Hair Restoration?

FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation), sometimes called the “strip method”, is a surgical hair restoration technique that allows the transplantation of many follicles in a single session. A narrow strip of hair-bearing scalp is carefully removed from the back of the head, where hair is naturally thicker and more resistant to loss.

Individual follicular units are then separated and transplanted into thinning or bald areas, precisely placed to replicate natural growth patterns. FUT is ideal for patients seeking maximum density and long-term coverage with a single, efficient procedure.

The Benefits of FUT Hair Restoration

  • High Graft Yield: We can transplant thousands of follicles in one session for more comprehensive coverage.
  • Natural, Lasting Results: Each follicular unit is placed at the correct angle and density for seamless blending and natural growth.
  • Efficient Procedure: Because more follicles can be transplanted at once, FUT can dramatically improve with fewer sessions.
  • Long-Term Solution: The transplanted hair grows naturally, providing permanent, low-maintenance results.
  • Expert-Led Technique: At CaloAesthetics, every FUT procedure is performed with surgical precision and an artistic eye for natural balance.

Is FUT Right for Me?

FUT hair transplants in Louisville, KY, may be ideal if you want significant density or coverage and are comfortable with a small, linear scar that can be concealed beneath existing hair. It’s also a great choice for patients with advanced hair loss or those who plan to wear their hair longer.

During a personal consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, donor availability, and lifestyle to determine whether FUT or FUE best suits your needs. Our goal is always the same: to create natural, confidence-building results that look authentically your own.

What to Expect: The FUT Process

    Comprehensive Consultation

    We create a customized plan to evaluate your hair loss pattern, scalp elasticity, and desired coverage.

    Donor Strip Removal

    A narrow strip of hair-bearing skin is carefully removed from the back of the scalp, where hair is thickest and most resilient.

    Follicular Unit Preparation

    Each follicular unit is meticulously separated under magnification to preserve integrity and ensure optimal growth.

    Precision Transplantation

    The grafts are placed into thinning areas following your natural direction and pattern for seamless blending.

    Easy Recovery

    The donor area is closed with fine sutures, leaving a thin, easily concealed line. Most patients return to daily life within a few days.

    Your FUT Recovery & Results

    Recovery after FUT is generally smooth and comfortable. You may experience mild tightness or swelling for a few days, but most patients resume light activity quickly. Sutures are typically removed after about a week.

    New hair growth begins three months after the procedure, with full, natural results developing between six and twelve months. Because FUT allows for high follicle density, the improvement can be dramatic and permanent: thicker coverage that feels natural and restores lasting confidence.

    What’s the Difference? Choosing the Right Hair Restoration Technique

    The best hair restoration method depends on your level of hair loss, lifestyle, and personal goals. At CaloAesthetics Plastic Surgery Center, we offer multiple state-of-the-art options to ensure your results look natural and last for years.

    • FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) is ideal for patients who want dramatic density and coverage from a single session. It allows for a high graft yield and lasting, natural growth.
    • On the other hand, FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) involves individually harvesting follicles without a linear incision, offering a faster recovery and greater flexibility for short hairstyles.
    • For patients who want a minimally invasive option, NeoGraft® provides the precision of FUE with automated technology for faster, more efficient extraction and implantation.

    Our surgeons will guide you through each technique, explaining the advantages of every approach so your treatment feels as personal as your results.

    FUT Hair Restoration FAQ

    Will my results look natural?

    Yes. Each follicle is placed individually at the correct angle, density, and direction to mimic natural growth and blending.

    Will there be a visible scar?

    FUT leaves a fine linear scar at the donor site, but it is easily hidden beneath your existing hair, even at short lengths.

    How soon can I return to work?

    Most patients feel comfortable returning to work or light activities within a few days of their procedure.

    Is FUT better than FUE?

    Both techniques produce excellent results. FUT may be better for patients needing more grafts in one session, while FUE offers quicker recovery and no linear scar.

    When will I see results?

    You’ll start to notice new hair growth around three months, with full, thicker coverage appearing within six to twelve months.

    Is FUT permanent?

    Yes. Transplanted follicles are genetically resistant to hair loss and continue to grow for a lifetime.
