Hair Transplantation for MtF Transgender Patients: Becoming Your True Self

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, physical changes 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.

Embrace your transition with MtF hair transplants

Our transgender hair restoration surgery can help you achieve a softer, more feminine hairline to enhance your desired feminine appearance.

During the transgender hair transplant surgery, we use hair grafts to establish a new, more feminine look that blends with your natural hair growth pattern.

Existing hair conditions

Hormone 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. This may involve hairline lowering or filling out areas where you have experienced balding.

Balding hair transplant surgery

Males are more naturally prone to baldness. The natural male hairline creates an M shape at the top of the head, which is often where hairline recession starts.

While medications and topicals can help with this, an MtF hair transplant fills in these areas to create a fuller, rounder look.

Thinning areas

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.

Book a Zoom consultation with Dr Bonaros to receive a personalised treatment plan for your male-to-female hair transplant.

The MtF Journey with a FUE Hair Transplant

FUE or Follicular Unit Extraction is a minimally invasive technique that harvests healthy hair follicles from other areas of your scalp or body and implants them in the receiving areas. Each follicle is harvested individually under local anaesthesia and implanted to promote natural-looking hair growth and achieve your aesthetic goals.

As part of our FUE hair transplant procedures, we offer:

Hairline transplants as a procedure for hairline lowering to achieve a more feminine face shape.
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
Virtually undetectable scarring

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 placement for natural and aesthetically pleasing results.

These are some of the considerations that we take into account when designing and performing a hair transplant for a transgender patient (MtF):

Feminine hairline redesign

Male and female hairlines are different. Women have a rounder hairline shape above their forehead that creates a curve 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.

Thinning hair crown enhancement

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 follicles from denser areas and implanting the follicles in the crown.

Hair characteristics & flow

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.

Improving Hair Growth with Hair Loss Medication

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.

Minoxidil

It is theorised that minoxidil increases blood flow to the scalp and follicles, which promotes 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 to the affected area.

Oral minoxidil requires a consultation and a prescription to determine the severity and applicable treatment in each case.

Finasteride & Dutasteride

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.

Male to Female Hair Transplant — FAQs

Just like gender reassignment surgery, a surgical hair transplant (MtF) is a big step in your transition journey.

Below, we have compiled the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions by our patients to help provide you with all of the details you need to make this decision.vv

What is the recovery like for transgender hair transplants?

While most patients can return to work and regular activities within a week, the complete healing process can take a few weeks.

Timeline & Recovery

Swelling, redness and scabbing are common but usually subside within the first week or two. During the recovery process, it’s important to prevent any damage to the transplanted hair.

Is a FUE transgender hair transplant permanent?

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.

How long does it take to see transgender hair transplant results?

In general, male-to-female (MtF) patients can expect to see 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.

How much does transgender hair restoration cost?

You can expect a procedure like this 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 without delay.

How long are hair transplant procedures?

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.

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!
