Transgender Hair Transplant London – Empress Hair Clinic

Optimal Timing for Transgender Hair Transplant

It’s important to consider the timing of your hair transplant in relation to any ongoing hormone therapy. For the best results, we recommend completing your hormone therapy first, allowing your body to stabilize hormonally. This stabilization ensures that the transplanted hair adapts optimally to your new hormonal environment, influenced by key elements such as oestrogens and dihydrotestosterones which play a significant role in gender-specific hair growth.

 

Transition-Specific Considerations

MTF (Male-to-Female) Transition:

If you are transitioning from male to female, it’s often advisable to undergo any necessary facial or body reconstruction surgeries to achieve a more feminine appearance before undertaking a hair transplant. This includes designing a hairline or eyebrow shape that complements your feminization process. As your body responds to hormonal changes, particularly in oestrogen levels, you might consider hairline feminisation (lowering or rounding the hairline) and eyebrow hair transplantation for a softer, more feminine facial framing.

FTM (Female-to-Male) Transition:

For those transitioning from female to male, hormonal treatments increasing DHT levels will influence beard growth. If DHT causes irregular or patchy beard growth, a beard hair transplant can help achieve a fuller, more aesthetically masculine beard. The transplant can be tailored to your desired beard style, taking into account the distribution of hair established by hormone therapy and its effects on your facial features.

Tailoring Your Transplant to Your Identity

The strategy for a transgender hair transplant varies based on your goals and existing hairline. Masculine hairlines tend to have a broader forehead and an M-shaped recession at the temples, while feminine hairlines typically feature a softer, more rounded curve. Our experts at Empress Hair Clinic will work with you to design a hairline that aligns with your gender identity and aesthetic preferences.
