Senior Member Dr. Michael Beehner Posted February 19, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 19, 2016 This 55 y/o trans-gender patient presented for hair transplantation in February of 2014 and had one session of 1617 FU grafts in the frontal region and temple areas on both sides. Her naturally occurring follicular "bundles" consisted of 15% 1-hair grafts, 70% 2-hair grafts, and 15% for 3-hair grafts. She had one additional "thickening" session a week after these photos were taken.

Senior Member Transhair Posted February 20, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2016 Sort of off topic, but I can see that she has a hairline scar from previous forehead contouring. Do you believe that a scar like that can affect the results of the surgery, or is it small enough to not be a concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Michael Beehner Posted February 23, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 23, 2016 This transgender's scars were not that stark in appearance and the FU grafting in the area readily camouflaged them. In general, when a hair surgeon is transplanting in the hairline area with past scars, it is important to ease up a little on the density so each of the grafts gets adequate blood supply. These scars are full depth and create a barrier to the cross circulation which the scalp enjoys.
