MTF hair transplant and hairline feminization surgery
The significance of MTF hair transplant varies with transgender women; for some, it is an indispensable step, while others may not find it as essential. This often depends on hair loss patterns, personal aesthetic goals, and the role that hair plays in gender expression.
Hairlines in individuals are quite similar during childhood, regardless of gender. However, during teen years, the influence of male hormones, such as testosterone, starts a process of differentiation. Genetic factors and the impact of androgenic alopecia or hair loss caused by male hormones further contribute to changes in the hairline. Hormonal effects can lead to hairline recession, resulting in a larger forehead, which may not be aesthetically pleasing. For transgender women, moving the hairline forward is important not only to enhance femininity but also to improve facial proportions and overall beauty.
At IM GENDER we will study your case to offer you a service fully adapted to your needs, so that you get the results you are looking for.
