Male-to-Female Hair Transplant in Mumbai

What is a Hair Transplant?

Hair transplants are surgical procedures that transfer hair from donor areas (usually the back or sides of the scalp) to locations where hair loss has occurred or where a more feminine hairline is desired. It is commonly used in gender-affirming procedures to create a softer, rounder, and lower hairline that aligns with traditionally feminine features.

Why Choose a Hair Transplant?

  • Creates a more feminine hairline by lowering and reshaping it.
  • Restores lost hair due to male-pattern baldness or hair thinning.
  • Permanent and natural-looking results.
  • Enhances confidence by aligning hair appearance with gender identity.

Physical Readiness
  • Stable overall health with no medical conditions affecting healing.
  • Sufficient donor hair is available (usually from the back or sides of the scalp).
  • No active scalp conditions (such as severe dermatitis or infection).
  • If on hormone therapy, the effects on hair growth should be stabilised before surgery.
Emotional Readiness
  • Understanding that results take time (full growth can take up to a year).
  • Realistic expectations about the procedure and final outcome.
  • Prepared for post-surgical care to achieve the best outcomes .

What Happens During a Hair Transplant?

Consultation
  • Hairline design: The surgeon assesses the current hairline and designs a more rounded, feminine shape.
  • Donor hair evaluation: The surgeon assesses hair thickness and density to identify the optimal approach.
Anaesthesia
  • Local anaesthesia is used to numb both the donor and recipient areas.
  • Mild sedation may be offered to ensure comfort.
Surgical Techniques
There are two major kinds of hair transplant techniques:
A. Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) (Strip Method)
  • A tiny strip of scalp is taken from the back of the head.
  • Hair follicles are removed and transplanted to the new hairline.
  • Leaves a linear scar, but allows transplantation of a large number of grafts.
B. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
  • Individual hair follicles are taken directly from the donor location.
  • The follicles are implanted in the recipient location.
  • Minimally invasive, no linear scar, but requires shaving of the donor area.
Duration
  • he process lasts 6 to 12 hours, depending on the quantity of grafts placed.

  • Redness and soreness in both donor and transplanted areas.

Mid-Recovery (2-4 Weeks)
