Combined FUE and FUT to Achieve Maximum Coverage in One Surgery

Most of the time, patients with advanced hair loss are required to undergo multiple hair transplant procedures to obtain coverage of their entire bald scalp. Normally, the patient will have to wait one year or more between procedures, which makes it a long process. The reason for this is that most practices – particularly the ones that only offer FUE treatments – can move only a certain amount of hairs in one procedure, due to limitations on the doctor’s experience and/or surgical staff, or because they have two or three other patients being treated at the same time, greatly limiting the attention available to each patient.

At Tempus Hair Restoration, we offer a safe, tested hair transplant surgery solution for patients with advanced hair loss: a combined procedure in which – by using both FUE and FUT techniques – we are able to move a large amount of hairs in one procedure, covering large bald areas at one time. This allows patients to achieve their ultimate goal in less time, with one procedure versus many. But be aware that this is an advanced procedure and should be performed only by doctors and teams with a large amount of experience. For this reason, selecting the right doctor and team is even more important!

Dr. Marco Barusco and his team at Tempus Hair Restoration have performed many of these combined procedures over the years. Dr. Barusco teaches these and other techniques to many physicians around the world every year, with a busy lecturing calendar. Our surgical staff is well-versed on both the FUE and FUT techniques, and we utilize the latest technological advances to provide patients with a comfortable and relaxing experience, with great results. Plus, we only treat one patient at a time, so we can focus total attention on your procedure for as long as required.

Of course, like any other medical procedure, an accurate diagnosis and a detailed examination of your hair and scalp are necessary in order to determine the best strategy for your particular type of hair loss. With more than 20 years of dedicated experience in medical and surgical hair loss treatments, Dr. Barusco is a trusted source of information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Combined FUE and FUT involves removing grafts through both strip harvesting (FUT) and individual follicle extraction (FUE). This approach allows Dr. Barusco to strategically use donor hair based on each patient’s restoration needs.

Combining FUE and FUT can help some patients achieve greater graft numbers while efficiently using available donor hair. Dr. Barusco considers hair loss severity, donor density, future progression, and restoration goals before recommending this technique.

Good candidates typically have advanced hair loss, strong donor hair supply, and a need for a larger number of grafts. Dr. Barusco evaluates donor quality, medical history, family history, and long-term hair restoration goals before recommending combined treatment.

The benefits of combined FUE and FUT may include increased graft availability, improved coverage, and customized donor hair management. Dr. Barusco designs each procedure based on hair loss pattern, donor supply, and the patient’s desired outcome.

Yes, combining FUE and FUT may allow more grafts to be collected in a single session compared with using only one technique. The number of grafts depends on donor supply, hair characteristics, and individual restoration goals.

Combined FUE and FUT is not always better for every patient. Dr. Barusco evaluates your donor area, hair loss progression, medical history, and long-term goals to determine whether a combined approach or a single technique is most appropriate.

The number of grafts varies based on donor hair availability, scalp characteristics, and the extent of hair loss. During consultation, Dr. Barusco assesses these factors to estimate the appropriate graft number for your restoration plan.

Yes, combined FUE and FUT may result in both tiny FUE extraction marks and a linear FUT scar. With proper surgical planning and healing, these scars are typically manageable and can often be concealed with existing hair.

A combined FUE and FUT procedure can take several hours depending on the number of grafts required and the complexity of the case. Dr. Barusco focuses on precise graft handling and placement to achieve natural-looking results.

Recovery after combined FUE and FUT varies by patient and procedure size. Most patients return to daily activities within a few days, while transplanted hair gradually grows over several months following post-procedure instructions.
