The method to be used in eyebrow transplantation is completely shaped according to your personal needs and anatomical structure.
Although the FUT method has become less preferred today with the widespread use of the FUE technique in hair transplantation, it has started to be re-evaluated because it can provide surgical advantages in small and sensitive areas such as eyebrow transplantation.
What are the Advantages of FUT Eyebrow Transplantation?
- It is possible to prepare grafts under a microscope.
- Very thin single follicular units can be obtained.
- The grafts can be separated in a more controlled manner.
- High-quality single grafts suitable for eyebrow architecture can be selected.
- The hair length may remain long in the grafts obtained.
What are the Disadvantages of FUT Eyebrow Transplantation?
- There is a possibility of a linear (horizontal) scar in the donor area.
- The recovery time is longer compared to the FUE method.
- It requires a surgical incision for tissue harvesting.
- Today, it is generally less preferred.

Who is the FUT Method Suitable for?
It may be ideal for cases where sufficient single grafts cannot be obtained with FUE or where very thin grafts are required.
Patients with dense hair in the donor area, people with previous eyebrow loss and patients with eyebrow loss after trauma/burn can be evaluated for this method.
