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. ER -
