Case Study: Hairline Feminisation & Crown Enhancement for an MTF Transgender Patient
Patient Profile
An MTF (male-to-female) transgender patient was experiencing a receding hairline and thinning on the crown. She wanted a more feminine hairline to complement her gender identity and enhance her beauty.
The Challenge
The unique challenge was to transform the patient’s receding hairline into one that would naturally reflect her gender identity and desired aesthetic. This required the creation of a softer-looking, more feminine hairline. The process involved reproducing natural features, such as a cowlick along the front hairline, for authenticity. Additionally, the mildly thinning areas on the crown needed to be addressed to ensure full, consistent coverage.
Hair Transplant Strategy
Dr Bonaros analysed the patient’s facial structure and designed a hairline that would naturally suit her features and result in a more feminine look. He then performed a two-day FUE hair transplant, using 3,600 grafts (7,500 hairs) to achieve fullness and a delicate, natural appearance.
End Results
The procedure resulted in exceptional results, including a more naturally feminine hairline and improved crown coverage. The cowlick pattern was also successfully integrated for authenticity.
Patient Feedback
The patient expressed immense joy and satisfaction with her transformed feminine hairline. She reported an increase in self-esteem and a feeling of alignment between her appearance and gender identity.
Conclusion
This case highlights the profound impact of a gender-affirming hair transplant. By addressing both technical and aesthetic concerns, Dr Bonaros was able to achieve an exceptional outcome that aligned with the patient’s transition goals. This not only left the patient extremely satisfied but also boosted her self-confidence and affirmed her identity.
