FUE hair transplant surgery revolutionized the industry, and has all but replaced FUT as the most modern method.
Although the original FUT “strip” method continues to exist today, and some surgeons continue to offer it, there is generally no good reason for a man to choose the strip method over the more modern FUE method. The risk of linear scarring using the strip method has caused it to fall out of favor with men in the 2010s and 2020s, and the vast majority of hair transplants today use the more modern FUE method.
