MTF & FTM by Dr. Arslan
Hair transplant is a key part of gender-affirming care. Hairmedico provides discreet, respectful surgical care for MTF hairline feminisation and FTM beard and hairline restoration.
Before & After at
Hairmedico
The surgery is the same. The design is not.
A feminising hairline and a masculine one are built from the same follicles toward opposite briefs. A typical male hairline sits higher, with defined temporal recessions and a straighter leading edge. A feminising hairline sits lower and rounder, with softer temporal points and a gentler transition zone. Getting that brief right matters more here than graft count does.
This is why the consultation carries more weight than in a routine case. The measurement that decides the result โ where the hairline should sit for your face, not for a template โ is agreed before surgery, in photographs and on the scalp, and it is your call to make.
Trans men more often come with the opposite problem: recession that began after starting testosterone, or facial hair that has not filled in. Both are ordinary restoration procedures. What differs is what the result is being designed toward.
What is assessed before a plan is made
| Assessed | Why it changes the plan |
|---|---|
| Time on hormone therapy | Hormones change how hair behaves. A hairline designed while that is still shifting is designed against a moving target. |
| Whether the pattern is stable | As in any case, a hairline is drawn once the pattern has settled โ not in the middle of a change. |
| Donor density | Sets what coverage is achievable, and whether scalp and facial hair work can both draw on the same supply. |
| Current hairline shape | Lowering a hairline and reshaping its corners are different amounts of work, and often different session sizes. |
| Full medical history | Hormone therapy is part of the surgical assessment like any other ongoing medication. |
Dr. Arslan will say when waiting produces a better result. That is a judgement about timing, not a view about who should be treated.
Why beard work is not scalp work
Beard hair leaves the skin at a much shallower angle than scalp hair, and the direction changes across the face โ upward along the jaw, downward through the moustache, forward at the chin. Grafts placed at a scalp angle stand away from the face instead of lying against it, and no amount of density fixes that afterwards.
Each zone is therefore planned separately rather than as one target count. The beard graft calculator gives a rough figure per zone, and beard transplant covers the procedure in full.
