ABSTRACT

Hair loss occurs in 40% of female population, the main cause is female pattern alopecia. Hair transplantation has become the therapeutic option with a better long-term prognosis causing a great psychological impact. It can be performed with two techniques, by strip method (FUT) and by follicular unit extraction (FUE). Before performing the surgical hair restoration, a thorough evaluation of the patient is needed to rule out another etiology of hair loss in women. We present three patients with female pattern alopecia who underwent hair transplant using the strip technique (FUT). A careful patient selection as well as an individualized hair transplant plan are essential for a successful hair growth.
