Transgender Hair Transplant Procedures for MTF and FTM Patients

Transgender hair transplants cater to many patients who have lived for years trapped in an identity they never felt was their own. Gender reassignment surgery comes as the last stage in their journey that allows a final full emergence from their cocoon. For many, this process will include transgender hair restoration surgery.

These utilize the same surgical method and technology as other hair restoration or facial hair transplant procedures. But transgender hair transplants require the highest level of artistry and technique. 

Transplant Procedures for MTF Patients

For patients transitioning from MTF, transgender hair transplant procedures must create a soft and natural-looking feminine hairline. Commonly called transgender hairline lowering, this procedure transforms the existing masculine hairline into a flatter, more rounded feminine hairline that frames the face. 

It is important for patients seeking facial feminization through transgender hair transplantation to remember that they will still experience typical Male Pattern Hair Loss (MPHL). This condition leads to progressive thinning and hairline recession. This can improve with the prescription of hormonal therapy. 

In addition to hairline lowering, many MTF transgender patients include eyebrow transplants to further feminize their appearance. For most transgender patients, the recommendation is a combination of surgical and non-surgical therapies. This is to address normal MPHL and promote transgender hair regrowth. As well as to ensure long lasting and beautiful results along with cosmetic hairline feminization. 

Transplant Procedures for FTM Patients 

For transgender hair transplant patients looking to achieve more masculine appearances, Ziering Medical offers facial hair transplants to create beards, mustaches and sideburns. 

Transgender hair restoration surgery in small sections of body hair like the chest, abdomen and pubic region are also commonly performed for FTM transgender patients to help them meet their goals. This procedure can be necessary because while hormonal therapy typically increases body and facial hair growth in the FTM patient, it also can increase loss in the scalp area. 

Due to these considerations, for most transgender patients the recommendation is a combination of surgical and non-surgical treatments. This is to promote transgender hair growth and address hair loss. This process requires a combination of both technical skill and artistry in order to deliver results. Ziering surgeons are hair loss experts who are very sensitive to the needs of transgender patients. And we have the technology and knowhow to help them meet their goals.
