TLDR A hair transplant using hair from the back of the head and pubic area was successful in creating a feminine hairline for a male-to-female transgender person.
A male-to-female transgender individual with androgenic alopecia underwent a successful Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplant, using 927 follicular units (FUs) from the occipital scalp and 405 FUs from the pubic area, totaling 1,332 FUs. The procedure aimed to create a feminine hairline and was deemed successful nine months later. The document also discusses the importance of good skin quality at the transplant site and the use of skin crease slits to minimize trauma. It introduces the concept of Line Thai Micro Hairline for a natural look and maximal density, and provides a scale for FU density. The document concludes that FUE can be used for hair growth, thickening, or new construction in both men and women, including for feminizing the hairline in transgender individuals.
