Hair transplant in a transgender patient
For patients who identify as transgender, they may be considering a transgender hair transplant. Hair transplant surgery can be performed to improve the density of existing hair or restore lost hair, and this can be an important part of the transition process. There are many different cases in which a transgender hair transplant may be considered:
As a MtF (male to female) patient or non-binary transfeminine, you may be considering a feminization procedure for a male hairline.
CAs a FtM (female to male) patient, you may be considering restoring hair where it is thinning in an FtM transition.
The distinguishing characteristics between male and female hairlines are an important gender trait, from the shape and position to the angle of the hairs. However, hair loss at the crown and receding hairline pose many problems, especially during the transition. So, while male pattern baldness is an undesirable trait for most men, it can be very distressing for non-binary transfeminine (MtF) patients, as it is a recognizable side effect of male hormones.
However, the advancement in FUE hair transplants and non-surgical hair loss treatments has made it be more accessible for transgender patients to receive treatments that help them in their transition process.
Transgender hair transplant surgery is built with the patient's transition in mind. Using a personalized approach, the procedure will be fully tailored to the patient's needs, whether they are transitioning from MtF or FtM.

The difference between male and female lines
Understanding the difference between the female and male hairline is a crucial part of hair transplant procedures. Identifying the distinctions between each gender is necessary to construct a natural appearance for the patient.
There are several differences between male and female hairlines, including:
The position of the hairline.
The shape of the hairline.
The flow of hairs
The aging pattern of the hairline.
The position of the female hairline is generally further forward than that of the male, while the male hairline is further back, giving the appearance of a more prominent forehead.
As men age and their hairline recedes, this becomes more pronounced. While hair loss due to aging is not something women typically experience, although a woman can experience hair loss, it is more sporadic as it does not tend to target a specific area.
The shape of the hairline also differs, as men generally have a receding hairline around the temples, accentuating an "M"-shaped pattern around the hairline. In contrast, women have an oval-shaped hairline. Additionally, the direction in which a male's hairline flows may be different than that of a female.
