Akanxa Bhatti, Tejinder Bhatti

The document discusses the evolving trends in hair restoration surgery, focusing on the two main techniques: FUE (Follicular Unit Excision/Extraction) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation). Each technique has its own benefits and limitations, leading surgeons to specialize in one or the other, while some have mastered a combination of both. The chapter also reviews recent literature on new treatment modalities and anticipates future breakthroughs in the hair loss industry. The author shares personal preferences and practices in hair transplant surgery, highlighting the ongoing advancements and potential future developments in the field.
