Transgender Hair Restoration Surgery

Hello, I am a M-F Transgendered and would like to change my hairline to produce the best possible female results. I have tried monoxidil but always develop a rash that itches and causes flaking of the scalp. I have tried to continue but the itching gets worse and stop. My hair is very fine and straight. I would like to cover the MPB patch in the back and move the hairline forward. I plan to have FFS and have a scalp advance procedure however, I’m sure I’ll need transplants as well. I’m interested to know how you would approach my condition. I live in CA. Thank you kindly

Everyone is different. I have transplanted quite a few transgendered people. The main issue is whether or not you have male patterned hair loss. If you do not have male genetic patterned hair loss and your testicles are surgically removed, then you will not bald and the hairline lowering procedure might work well if all you are treating is the mature male hairline. Take a look at Maturation of a Hairline — Moving From Juvenile to Mature and tell me which is your hairline. If you have a mature hairline, then bringing it back down can be done with a hairline lowering procedure (with transplants for the corners if needed). If. however, you have balding as shown in this reference, only a hair transplant will get you what you need because moving more than 1 inch of hairline is impractical at a single surgical session. If you are more bald than what is shown in this reference, the question may be, Do you have enough hair to treat the frontal recession and the balding in the crown?

As you are in California, I have an office in Los Angeles and San Jose, so a visit with us would allow you to create a good plan for you.
