01 · Overview
About hair transplant
Modern hair transplantation moves individual follicular units from the permanent zone at the back of the scalp to thinning areas. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) harvests grafts one at a time with no linear scar; follicular unit transplantation (FUT, or strip) removes a strip and can yield more grafts per session. Both are also used for eyebrow and beard restoration.
02 · Candidates
Who this is for
- Men and women with pattern hair loss and adequate donor density
- Patients with stable hair loss (often on medical therapy first)
- Those wanting eyebrow or beard restoration
03 · Cost
What it costs in Utah
$6,000 to $18,000
Priced per graft in Utah (typically $4 to $8 per graft); a session of 1,500 to 3,000 grafts is common.
04 · Recovery
The timeline
Scabs at the recipient site clear in about 10 days. Transplanted hairs shed at two to four weeks, regrow at three to four months and reach final density by 12 to 18 months.
05 · Choosing
How to choose a hair transplant surgeon
- A surgeon, not only technicians, designing the hairline and performing key steps
- Fellowship training in hair restoration (ISHRS) or facial plastic surgery
- Honest assessment of donor supply and long-term planning for future loss
Questions, answered
01Who is the best hair transplant surgeon in Utah?
Dr. John Bitner (Layton) is uniquely fellowship-trained in both facial plastic surgery and hair restoration surgery, and Dr. James Manning (Utah Facial Plastics, Bountiful) and Dr. P. Daniel Ward (Ward MD) also lead physician-run hair restoration programs.
02FUE or FUT?
FUE avoids a linear scar and suits patients who wear hair short. FUT can harvest more grafts in one session with higher graft survival in some hands. A surgeon who offers both can recommend based on your donor area and goals.
