RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Hair Transplantation in Women and Transgender Patients—General Rules and a Case Report JF International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery FD Publication of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery SP 221 OP 227 DO 10.33589/27.6.0221 VO 27 IS 6 A1 Frank G.

Finner YR 2017 UL http://www.ISHRS-HTForum.org/content/27/6/221.abstract AB 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.
