FtM Hair Restoration — The Journey Towards Being the True You

For those undergoing the FtM transition process, hair growth in the correct places is essential to feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. From achieving your desired masculine hairline to growing facial hair, each step is important in your journey to becoming who you actually are.

At our clinic, we take your transition journey into consideration when planning a transgender hairline surgery or any other procedure. Every procedure will be tailored specifically to your needs to ensure you are fully satisfied with the results.

The Importance of Natural-Looking Hairlines

Having a full understanding of the differences between a masculine and feminine hairline is a crucial part of the hair transplantation process. This is especially important when it comes to constructing and providing FtM transgender patients with natural-looking hair and hairlines.

The Difference Between Male and Female Hairlines

The main differences between feminine and masculine hairlines are the hairline shape, the way the hair flows and the ageing pattern. Feminine hairlines are typically positioned lower down the forehead, while masculine hairlines tend to be further back.

In terms of hairline shape:

Men tend to experience a receding hairline around their temples which forms an ‘M’ shape.
Women, on the other hand, generally have a rounder hairline for most of their lives.

When planning FtM transgender hair transplants, there are several factors to consider when deciding on the hairline position. These factors include:

facial shape
graft availability
ethnic characteristics
the present or anticipating stage of balding
hair characteristics
the patient’s preference

Hair Loss Caused by Hormone Therapy

During the female-to-male transition process, your physical appearance as well as your hair will start to change as a result of your male hormones.

During hormone replacement therapy, your testosterone is converted into the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which can cause your hair follicles to miniaturise and shed. Over time, this can lead you to experience male pattern baldness and result in a receding male hairline or thinning crown.

With an in-depth understanding of this concern, Dr Bonaros provides potent
hair loss treatments tailored for those transitioning from female to male.

Our hair transplantation methods are specialised and employ the highly advanced FUE method. As a result, our hair transplant procedures effectively combat transgender male pattern hair loss and provide natural-looking and long-lasting results.

Have you recently undergone gender reassignment surgery and are looking to replace your feminine curved hairline with a more masculine appearance? Book an appointment with Dr Bonaros to find out how we can support you on your journey to presenting as your true self.

Transgender Hair Restoration with FUE Hair Transplants

The FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) hair transplant surgery is a highly advanced and sutureless procedure for FtM transgender hair restoration.

During the FUE hair transplant, hair follicles are individually harvested from the back of the head under local anaesthesia. These donor hair follicles are then implanted into the recipient area — hairline, beard or body.

There are several benefits to FUE hair transplants that make it the favoured method over more traditional hair restoration surgery options. Some of these advantages include:

Minimally invasive procedure that results in no linear scarring
Quicker recovery time with less discomfort
Scarring that is virtually undetectable
Ability to wear your very hair short

For FtM patients, our WAW Duo FUE system enhances density and precision in hairline and beard transplants, ensuring a masculine and natural look.

Here are the FUE hair transplantation procedures we offer transgender patients:

Hairline Transplant

A FtM FUE trans hairline surgery is ideal for patients who wish to change their feminine hairline into a more masculine one. During this transgender hair transplant surgery, the donor hair follicles are used to lower and reshape the frontal hairline into one that is more masculine. If a receding hairline is already present due to FtM balding, the donor hair can be used to fill in balding spots along the hairline.

Dr Bonaros and his team offer this hairline-lowering hair transplant procedure for our Glasgow clinic to help FtM transgender patients achieve a more gender-specific appearance.

Beard Transplant

As part of the transitioning process, beard hair does tend to grow. However, not all transgender patients will experience uniform hair growth, which can result in patchy facial hair.

FtM FUE facial hair transplants can be the perfect solution for patients who want a desirable beard that is denser and more masculine. The most common areas on the face that are filled in with donor hair follicles include sideburns, cheeks, moustache area and chin.

Our hair transplant clinic offers professional FtM beard transplant procedures using the FUE method to provide those with sparse facial hair a more natural appearance.

Body Hair Transplant

Utilising existing hair follicles from the back of the head, a FUE Body Hair Transplant (BHT) is a great choice for FtM patients who want additional body hair.

The three most common areas people choose to have this transgender hair transplant procedure are:

Chest
Abdomen
Pubic area

To help FtM transgender patients achieve a more masculine look, Dr Bonaros offers FUE body hair transplants from his leading hair transplant clinic in Glasgow.

Regain your confidence in who you truly are with FtM transgender hair surgery. Schedule a Zoom consultation with Dr Bonaros to find out how we can help replace your feminine appearance with a more masculine one.

Non-Surgical Hair Loss Treatments

Before you decide to undergo an MtF transgender hair transplant surgery, we recommend that you first try non-surgical treatments. There are a variety of hair restoration options that are less invasive, such as hair loss medications.

While the effectiveness of these hair loss treatments varies from patient to patient, Dr Bonaros can advise you on the option that best suits your current stage of hair loss and future goals.

Some medications for hair loss include:

Minoxidil

Minoxidil was originally used as a way of treating hypertension, but was found to promote excessive hair growth on the body as one of its side effects. This led to its topical formulation, which has become one of the most popular treatments for male pattern baldness.

Minoxidil is also available in oral form; however, it does require a prescription. Dr Bonaros can write private prescriptions for oral minoxidil following a consultation at his hair transplant clinic in Glasgow.

Finasteride

Oral finasteride is a prescription male pattern hair loss treatment that has proven most effective in promoting hair growth on the crown of the head. For men who are not comfortable taking finasteride in its oral form, a topical formulation is also available.

Dutasteride

Dutasteride, also known as Avodart, is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) but can also be prescribed off-label for treating male pattern baldness. As this medication is highly effective in slowing down men’s hair loss, Dutasteride is one of the best prescription medications for male pattern hair loss.

Female to Male Hair Transplant — FAQs

From battling with FtM male pattern baldness to seeking ways to promote new hair growth or thicken existing hair, it is very common to have a lot of questions when considering a transgender hair transplant.

Below, we have compiled the answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask to help provide you with accurate and relevant information.

How much does a transgender hair transplant cost?

The average cost for FUE transgender hair transplants in Glasgow is roughly £6000, with costs starting as low as £3500 and going up to around £12000.

But the full price of an FtM transplant will vary as it is dependent on the characteristics of your hair, the overall complexity of your transgender hair transplant procedure and the number of grafts you require.

Fill out our Online Assessment Form to receive a personalised quote with an estimated cost of your hair transplant surgery. We also offer financing options for those who cannot afford the upfront costs of their desired FtM transgender hair transplant.

Is a hair transplant a permanent solution for a receding hairline?

A FUE hair transplant procedure is a permanent solution for the transplanted hair. However, while an FtM hair loss surgery can restore hair to thinning areas with permanent results, it does not stop the natural balding process or future hair loss in other areas.

Is there a hair transplant for transgender male-to-female patients?

Absolutely. We believe that everyone should be able to feel comfortable and confident in their own skin. Dr Bonaros offers male-to-female hair transplant procedures from his Glasgow clinic to help MtF transgender patients receive more natural-looking female hairlines.

Jackie Lambert

Dr Bonaros is an incredibly talent doctor in his field and has provided me with a wonderful hair transplant result. Finding information and pictures for female hair transplants was really hard. Hair is such a defining part of us all that is not realised until you start to lose your hair.
I suffered female pattern balding and hair thinning due to menopause and became very self conscious. I was worried about the treatment (as many on line photos looked so horrific), pain, recovery time, would it work, results etc. I also didn't want to lose more hair over the coming years, but also didn't want to have my head shaved at the back for the transplant.
Dr Bonaros answered all my questions and was such a knowledgeable and calming person that I knew he was the doctor for me and I was in safe hands.
On the day of the transplant, he and his team were amazing and so very kind and took great care of me. The aftercare and regular check ups were great.
I have just celebrated by first hair transplant birthday and the result are fantastic. I have consented for Dr Bonaros to share all of my journey photos with any other women out there contemplating this treatment. I cannot recommend highly enough. My hair is thicker and fuller and I even have a full fringe now.

Peter Walker

Can't thank the Dr and the team enough for such great work on my hair. It's been a year and I'm delighted with the results of my 4000 graft procedure.

The team were kind, professional and patient during the consultation stage. They answered all my questions and made me feel at ease.

During the operation every step was explained and the experience was made as comfortable as possible over the two days of my 4000 graft procedure. It's a morning of extractions from the donor area and an afternoon of inserting them into the recipient area with lunch provided. I brought some in-ear headphones for a podcast to pass the time and it does fly by. Dr Bonaros was present at all times performing the extractions and graft placement. They worked non-stop during this time.

The post operation care package you get home and the follow up emails and appointments to ask questions really made the whole post care process easy at what is a sensitive time.

Fully recovered and seeing the results, it's gave me a lot of confidence and looking back at old photographs I really do not regret having it done, I wish I did it sooner.

Really appreciate what the clinic has done for me. Thank you Dr Bonaros and Team!

graham jardine

Can’t thank dr Bonaros and the team enough,

I found them to be extremely professional, reassuring and kind.

I work an operating theatre environment so I guess I was a bit of a tough customer however I was very impressed with my hair transplant from first consultation to the operation itself.

I’m now 4 months out and have loads of hair growth, my confidence has been renewed massively and my only regret is not having the treatment sooner!

Thanks again

Kind regards

Graham

Cayden

I had a 2000 graft hair transplant with Dr Bonaros just over a year ago. It was painless, very easy on my part (I just had to lie in different positions and amuse myself) and Dr Bonaros and his team were super informative and happily answered all of my questions both during our initial consult and the procedure itself.

I was seen at 8:50am and we finished up I believe around 4pm, with an hour lunch break (the surgery provided a hot lunch, and were very accommodating with my dietary needs)

Aftercare was very well explained and I was given all the necessary equipment and care instructions for my recovery.

I had no complications during or after the transplant, and healing with a lot easier than I expected. Patience and time are the main factors for the months after your transplant.

I am over the moon with my results, I am so much more confident and my self-esteem has come on in leaps and bounds.

Thank you so much for giving me a new lease on life!

From the very beginning, the entire experience was fantastic. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and explained every step of the process in great detail

The procedure was surprisingly comfortable, with minimal discomfort during and after the surgery. The recovery went well, and I was provided with clear instructions and a goody bag to take away to aid my recovery.

I highly recommend that everyone consult with Dr. Bonaro and his staff before making a final decision. You won't regret it!
