Abstract
About 15% of all hair transplant procedures are done on women, mostly using FUT (strip harvesting, microscopic dissection). Due to special anatomical conditions, not all women are candidates for hair transplantation. If the donor hair is sufficient, surgery is indicated in medium-stage and frontally accentuated androgenetic alopecia, in non-active cicatricial alopecia, and to correct a high or recessive frontal hairline. Many male-to-female transgender patients are good candidates for hair transplant surgery, and a typical case is described below. An minimally traumatic surgical technique and an experienced surgical team are crucial for a natural-looking result.
