FUE vs FUT: which is right for you?
FUE harvests follicles one by one; FUT removes a strip and dissects it. The scar and the yield are the trade.
How FUE works
FUE leaves hundreds of dot scars that disappear under short hair, with faster donor healing. It is today's default abroad and enables buzz cuts later.
How FUT works
FUT (the strip method) yields a high number of high-quality grafts in one session but leaves a linear scar and a tighter, longer donor recovery. Some surgeons still prefer it for maximum-yield cases.
Which to choose
Want the option of short haircuts → FUE. Chasing absolute maximum grafts in one session and happy to keep hair longer at the back → FUT remains defensible. Many top clinics now simply run large FUE sessions instead.
Prices abroad
Accredited clinics abroad typically price both options 50–70% below Western European and UK rates, all-inclusive. Compare written quotes for both on GetClinic and discuss suitability in a free video consultation before booking either.
