FUE has gained popularity in recent years, particularly for men who wish to wear their hair very short and might seek to avoid any evidence of a scar at the rear of their head from surgery. FUE has often been referred to as scar-less surgery. It should be noted that this is incorrect. With FUE, you are left with many mini punch hole scars as opposed to FUT, where you are left with one fine linear scar concealed at the back of the scalp.
Fue is also great for smaller, cost-effective procedures that you can gradually build on to suit your budget, with no downtime. Your hair will be trimmed to 2mm long around the donor site and recipient site, and Dr Marzola will then mark out your new hairline or area to fill, mark the area of hair extraction, and take photographs for your medical record. Since you stay awake for these procedures, you may take a sedative before surgery if you would like to, and a local anaesthetic will be applied to your scalp to numb it so you don’t feel a thing.
