Creating a Female Hairline for Male to Female Transsexual Hair Transplant Patient

The following case was presented on the Hair Restoration Forum and Social Network by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. Jean Devroye of Belgium:

Transsexual transformation is the kind of[tag]hair transplant[/tag] work I love to do. There are many reasons why. First of all, because it is challenging. You have to move from a male appearance to a female appearance. The anterior line has to be traced very carefully. It is very important to obtain a very natural result, very thin. Also, most of time you have to graft completely [tag]bald[/tag] areas and obtain in only one session a high density with a dense packing.

The big advantage in cases like these is that, generally, when a transsexual patient uses female hormones it completely stops the [tag]hair loss[/tag].

This patient came with a typical [tag]female hair loss[/tag] pattern. The sequences of images show the patient from zero months to more than two years post-op.

Surgery Details – Total number of grafts : 3643

• Single hair grafts – 596
• 2 hair grafts – 1555
• 3 hair grafts – 1182
