What is Transgender Hair Transplant?
Hairline shape is often overlooked by conventional gender services. A feminine hairline typically gives a rounder frame to the face, whereas a masculine hairline typically has more angular temples, giving a squarer frame to the face. In addition, androgenetic alopecia can exacerbate an undesired male appearance. Addressing this can be an important part of gender-affirming surgery.
