FUSS HAIR TRANPLANT
Follicular Unit Strip Surgery (FUSS) Hair Transplant is frequently referred to as the “strip” hair transplant procedure. FUSS is an older means of extracting donor hair, whereby a surgeon excises a linear strip of hair and tissue from the back of the scalp. This tissue is then dissected into individual follicular units, by surgical technicians, and then placed in thinning or balding recipient regions. Meanwhile, the wound is closed with the use of sutures.

BENEFITS OF FUSS HAIR TRANSPLANT
There are potential advantages to choosing FUSS for your hair restoration:
- The procedure tends to be a little faster than FUE.
- Allows for the extraction of more grafts in one procedure.
- Slightly more cost-effective than FUE hair transplant. Explore the advanced technology of hair transplant in Dubai.
- Patients may not be a good candidate for FUSS if they do not have sufficient follicles in the donor zone.
- Overall, patients may find that FUSS involves a more uncomfortable recovery process, as there tends to be more swelling with this procedure. While most incisions heal well, there is always the chance that the resulting scar will stretch and become wider and more prominent than the patient is comfortable with.
- Most patients that choose FUSS will need to keep their hair longer than they would need to with FUE to keep the linear scar hidden after the procedure. Here is an interesting article on how Rafael Nadal's Hair Transplant went.

DRAWBACKS OF FUSS HAIR TRANSPLANT
The drawback to this procedure is that the patient is left with a long, linear scar across the donor area, preventing them from being able to sport a short hairstyle in the future, as the hair must be kept longer in order to cover the scar. Of greater concern, however, is that the FUSS procedure greatly decreases the usable donor hair, affecting the patient’s capacity for future procedures to restore their hair to its full potential. You should also be aware of the different locations for hair transplant procedures other than the scalp.
