The Linear Closure Technique is a key component of Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), focusing on the surgical closure of the donor area after a strip of scalp is removed. This method aims to minimize visible scarring and promote optimal healing.

After the strip is excised, the edges of the donor site are carefully sutured or stapled. Advanced closure methods, such as Trichophytic Closure, encourage hair to grow through the scar, further reducing its visibility. Surgeons pay close attention to tension and alignment to ensure a smooth and natural-looking outcome.

Proper postoperative care is essential for promoting healing and reducing complications. Patients are advised to follow their surgeon’s instructions, including keeping the area clean and avoiding strenuous activities during the recovery period.

Patients benefit from the linear closure technique as it ensures that the donor area heals well and remains aesthetically intact. This approach allows for the efficient harvesting of grafts while preserving the natural appearance of the donor site.
