Senior Member mattj Posted August 12, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) This 42-year-old female patient has undergone gender reassignment surgery. Showing pronounced hairline recession, HT surgery was required to achieve a feminine appearance as well as cover significant scarring from hairline advancement/forehead lift surgery. Dr Rahal transplanted a total of 4044 hairs via the FUT method, covering approximately 70 cm/2. The patient has hair of a fine caliber. Graft breakdown: 808 Singles. 2773 Doubles. 463 Triples. They are another example of a patient who experienced early growth. The after pictures were taken at 4 months post-op and hopefully we'll see how she's doing with further updates in the future.

Senior Member RCWest Posted August 13, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2011 This is the first transgender case I've come across on here. This is turning out to be another homerun by Dr. Rahal and his staff. Should this lady no longer lose hair now that she is taking transgender medications? Finasteride 1.25 mg. daily Avodart 0.5 mg. daily Spironolactone 50 mg twice daily 5 mg. oral Minoxidil twice daily Biotin 1000 mcg daily Multi Vitamin daily Damn, with all the stuff you put in your hair are you like a negative NW1?

This is turning out to be another homerun by Dr. Rahal and his staff. Should this lady no longer lose hair now that she is taking transgender medications? This patient is on estrogen therapy, but presumably the risk of hairloss remains in their case, at least for the time being, as they are also currently taking Propecia.

SecretlyThinning Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Am i been thick but wouldn't it be better for her to chop her balls off? In theroy that would definitely stop the future hair loss. Bonkerstonker, yes, yes, you ARE 'being' (not 'been') thick. And, the way you decided to phrase that question only emphasizes that. To answer your question, gender reassignment surgery may prevent future hair loss, but it won't reverse hair loss. Hormone replacement therapy can aid in preventing future hair loss, but likewise, it won't be effective for reversing hair loss. A hair transplant is the only way for her to go. Furthermore, gender reassignment surgery and hormone replacement therapy aren't as effective later in life as they are when you aren't as far removed from puberty. Lastly, gender reassignment surgery is not an easy surgery, and it's VERY expensive. Also, she has to be on hormone replacement therapy and receiving psychological treatment for a period of years before any reputable doctor would perform such a surgery. A hair transplant is a walk in the park (perhaps even a lounge on a blanket in a park) in comparison. On the agenda of things a transgendered (or pre-op transsexual) individual would be considering, a hair transplant is something she can more quickly check off the list.

Senior Member MTL30 Posted June 17, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2012 thats great for only 4 months.. when you have fine hair does it mean you need a little more grafts to achieve density? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
