How small a scar from FUT?
Quick question to start. I’m trying to decide between FUE and FUT. Doctor recommends 1500 grafts. With a 1500 graft FUT, would the scar be much smaller than scars I’m seeing online in the 3000-5000 range? Do they still cut from side to side or is the cut shorter and also is it narrower?
The scars from a first surgery with a strip usually are about 1-2mm wide. About 10% of people will stretch wider than that. Second surgeries the percentage of stretching increases to about 10% of people. I had three strip surgeries and no one can find my scar because I heal well. Strip scars are rarely a problem unless you shave the back of your head to a 1 cut or closer.
