# FUE vs FUT hair transplant: comparison points to discuss in consultation
Follicular unit extraction and follicular unit transplantation are two hair transplant approaches. A comparison page should help users prepare for consultation questions, not decide for them.
This page is educational only and is not medical advice. Suitability depends on donor area, goals, medical history, hair characteristics, scarring risk, and surgeon assessment.
Questions for consultation
- Which technique is being recommended and why?
- Who performs each part of the procedure?
- How is donor-area management planned?
- What scarring risks are discussed?
- What recovery timeline is realistic?
- What aftercare and follow-up are included?
- What happens if results are lower than expected?
- Are before-and-after photos representative and source-backed?
Directory use
HairLossIndex clinic listings should use controlled treatment tags for `Follicular unit extraction` and `Follicular unit transplantation` only when those treatments are publicly supported by the source.
