Male to Female (MTF) Patients

Many MTF patients seek out hair restoration because their male pattern baldness makes it challenging to achieve a truly feminine appearance. The goal of MTF hair restoration is to help feminize the patient’s appearance and restore thick, healthy hair. The techniques used to transplant hair usually include either FUT or FUE hair restoration. These surgical methods are minimally invasive but can increase hair density and reshape the hairline.

It’s also common for MTF patients to undergo a hairline lowering procedure. This is not a hair restoration technique, but it is an excellent option for those who have a naturally high, masculine-appearing hairline. Dr. Varona also offers eyebrow transplant surgery to produce defined, feminine eyebrows.

Female to Male (FTM) Patients

FTM patients usually experience excellent results with hormone therapy, but sometimes this isn’t enough to meet their aesthetic needs. These patients typically seek hair transplant procedures for the beard, mustache, and sideburn areas.

While hormone therapy can be a fantastic option for increasing hair growth on the body for FTM patients, it can also cause a noticeable loss of hair on the head. Consequently, some FTM patients seek FUE or FUT hair restoration to address a thinning hairline due to the increased male hormones. 

Treatment Options

Transgender Hair Restoration in Newport Beach

FUE (follicular unit extraction) is a detailed oriented, minimally invasive procedure that involves harvesting individual hair grafts from the patient’s scalp and transplanting them into areas of thinning hair. This procedure is performed in several steps:

Frequently ASked Questions

FUE Hair Transplant Surgery

Transgender hair restoration procedures are minimally invasive, making recovery relatively easy for most patients. Patients who undergo FUT or FUE surgery may experience mild pain, tenderness, and swelling around their sutures for about three days. Most people can resume their regular daily activities by the third day after surgery.

Scalp advancement surgery may produce moderate swelling and tenderness near the incision sites, but these temporary symptoms typically subside after about a week. Patients usually resume work and other activities after one week.

Your consultation with Dr. Varona will allow you to explore your options thoroughly. You can expect every question or concern to be addressed in detail. Based on your goals and extent of hair loss, a custom treatment plan will be created for you.

Hair transplants are permanent, so your results will be very long lasting. However, hair loss may continue to occur on untreated areas of the scalp. MTF patients who combine their transgender hair restoration with hormone therapy often experience the best results.
