Transitioning is often a long and difficult process. While you may not notice the small changes that happen day by day, it’s often the bigger changes to your physical appearance that can make you feel more empowered and confident. We offer hair transplant procedures as a stepping stone to becoming the person you’re most confident in.

During the transgender hair transplant surgery, we use hair grafts from your donor area to establish a new, more feminine look that blends with your natural hair growth pattern.
Hormone replacement therapy counteracts natural male pattern hair loss caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This means that some naturally occurring effects of this hormone significantly decrease as your oestrogen levels increase.
However, if you have existing thinning areas or male pattern baldness, our transgender hair transplants can help you restore hair. This may involve hairline lowering or filling out areas where you have experienced balding.
Males are more naturally prone to baldness. The natural, masculine hairline creates an M shape at the top of the head, which is often where hairline recession starts.
While medications and topicals can help, an MtF hair transplant fills in these areas to create a fuller, rounder look.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the primary hormone that leads to men losing hair. When transitioning from male to female, the natural tendency to lose hair will decrease, but the existing thinning areas will remain. We can help reduce the appearance of hair thinning by filling out the hair with a hair transplantation.

Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) method is a minimally invasive technique that harvests healthy hair follicles from other areas of your scalp or body under local anaesthesia. Dr Bonaros implants individual hair follicles to promote natural-looking hair growth and achieve your aesthetic goals.
As part of our FUE hair transplant procedures, we offer:
MtF hairline surgery is a transplant procedure for hairline lowering to achieve a more feminine face shape. It is also ideal for patients with a receding hairline in the early stages.
Crown hair transplants can be coupled with other procedures to ensure that your transgender hair surgery gives you a full head of beautiful hair.
Mid-scalp hair transplants are ideal for MtF hair transplant candidates with an excessive receding hair pattern.
Temple hair transplants play an essential role in framing the face and visually reducing the length of the forehead.
Furthermore, there are several advantages of the FUE implantation method, such as:
No linear scarring
Minimally invasive
Quicker recovery time and less discomfort
Minimal scarring that is virtually undetectable
At Dr Bonaros, we utilise the WAW Duo FUE system. This minimally invasive technology helps create a softer, more feminine hairline by allowing precise follicle extraction for natural and aesthetically pleasing results for your overall appearance.
These are some of the considerations that we take into account when designing and performing a hair transplant for a transgender patient (MtF):
Male and female hairlines are different. A female hairline is rounder above the forehead, curving down to the temples. Our expert analysis of your face shape enables us to pinpoint precisely where hair restoration surgery should be applied to achieve a more feminine look.
FUE hair transplants can help improve the natural appearance of your hair type by restoring the density of hair to make it appear thicker. This involves taking healthy follicles from denser areas and implanting the donor hair in the crown.
During an FUE transplant, hair can be transplanted at a certain angle that blends most naturally with your own hair direction while still creating a more feminine appearance.

There are prescription and over-the-counter topical medications that can also help with male pattern hair loss in transgender patients.
A consultation with Dr Bonaros can determine which medication is suitable for your new hair growth treatment. It’s important to note that medication is not a permanent solution and that hair loss is likely to continue after discontinuing the medication.
It is theorised that minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp and follicles, promoting stronger and thicker hair growth. Minoxidil is available as an oral or topical treatment.
The topical ointment is available over the counter and is ideal for patients with mild androgenetic alopecia. It is simply applied to the affected area to help prevent hair loss by increasing blood flow.
Oral minoxidil requires a consultation and a prescription to determine the severity and applicable treatment in each case.
Both of these oral medications for hair loss (finasteride & dutasteride) are prescription only. These tablets work by preventing the conversion of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
DHT binds to androgen receptors in hair follicles, which causes them to shrink and die. By inhibiting the production of DHT, these medications help reduce or stop hair loss.

Just like gender reassignment surgery or facial feminisation surgery, an MtF hair transplant is a big step in your transition journey.
Below, we have compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions from our transgender patients to help provide you with all of the details you need to make this decision.
Not necessarily. You don’t always need fully stable hormone levels before considering a long-term solution like a hair transplant.
During your transition, medications such as finasteride or dutasteride may help protect your existing hair and support hair density. These medications can be helpful if you’re experiencing hair loss and want to plan ahead.
You may be able to move forward sooner than expected, but we cover this during your initial consultation. Your healthcare provider or endocrinologist can help personalise the timing and medication choices for your needs, as every transition journey is different.

While most patients can return to work and regular activities within a week, the complete healing process can take a few weeks.
Swelling, redness, and scabbing are common but usually subside within the first stage of healing and will last a week or two. During the recovery process, it’s important to prevent any damage to the transplanted hair. Dr Bonaros will provide a full aftercare guide to ensure the best possible outcome.
Yes, FUE is a permanent solution. However, it is important to note that hair transplants do not prevent future hair loss from occurring in other areas around the transplant site.
In general, male-to-female (MtF) patients can expect regrowth approximately three months after their final appointment. However, every candidate is different, and results are dependent on the volume of your hair transplantation procedure.
After six months, your new hair should be blending seamlessly with your original hair, and you can grow it out into the hairstyles you’ve always dreamt of.
You can expect a MtF hair transplant to cost anywhere between £5000 to £12000 or more at most Glasgow hair transplant clinics.
Transgender Hair Restoration Prices
The price is calculated by the number of grafts (hair follicles) that need to be supplied. So the final cost can only be provided once you have had a consultation with Dr Bonaros and the extent of your procedure has been finalised.
Dr Bonaros takes pride in performing high-quality MtF hair transplants. We also offer 0% finance options to help you feel like yourself and get a hair transplant without delay.
Depending on the amount of grafts required, hair restoration surgery can take over one or two days. Each procedure is performed with a local anaesthetic, so you will feel very little discomfort during the procedure.
