If you’ve chosen to undergo transgender surgery, you’re beginning a personal journey that may involve several stages. There’s no definitive path to physically transitioning. Many patients consider hairline surgery to be a crucial aspect of their feminizing journey. A more feminine hairline can significantly improve quality of life by aligning outward appearance with inner identity. Given that a prominent forehead is often associated with masculinity, Hairline Lowering Surgery is frequently sought to feminize facial features in transgender individuals.
Hair transplant
Follicular unit hair restoration entails relocating hair follicles from the more dense regions at the back and sides of the scalp to areas affected by baldness or thinning, typically the frontal hairline, mid-scalp, temples, and crown. This procedure can be integral to the gender affirmation journey for individuals transitioning from male to female who are encountering hair loss or thinning. The transplanted hairs typically offer a lasting solution to pattern baldness, providing long-term results.
During the procedure, we can use one of two hair transplant techniques: follicular unit strip surgery (FUT) or follicular unit extraction surgery (FUE).
Hairline lowering
Hairline Lowering can be combined with any Facial Feminization Surgery. To perform this procedure, our patients will be put under general anesthesia while an irregular incision is made between the existing anterior hairline and the forehead. The hair-bearing scalp is then lifted and moved forward as the patient desires. Hairline-lowering Surgery alone can help feminize the face as it reshapes and reduces the height of the forehead. Transgender women often feel more feminine and attractive after they have reduced the size of their forehead.

Results
For transgender individuals, the process of transitioning often brings a profound sense of relief and empowerment as they align their physical appearance with their gender identity. For those transitioning from male to female, procedures such as hairline and facial surgery can contribute to achieving a more feminine look, boosting confidence and overall well-being. Additionally, these changes can lead to improved recognition and identification by others as female, further affirming their gender identity.
