TLDR Hair restoration surgery, using modern techniques like FUE and FUT, effectively restores hair with minimal recovery time and high success rate.
Hair restoration surgery is a reliable method for restoring hair in areas affected by hair loss due to alopecia, trauma, or other diseases. Traditional methods involved rotation of large surgical flaps or the use of "plugs", but modern techniques focus on the transplantation of individual hair follicles. The introduction of follicular unit extraction (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) has improved the surgical experience for patients, offering minimal downtime, quick recovery, and predictable success.
