For patients who have transitioned from male to female, even with the consumption of female hormones and finasteride, a hair loss pattern or receded hairline might already have been present or could potentially still develop. Since a female hairline is desired, hair transplantation is the suggested course of action — especially in stable cases with sufficient donor hair.

Dr. Sciacca expertly developed the “Select Shave FUE” for women; only a selected area at the back of the head is shaved and it can me masked thanks to the length of the hair that’s already present.  The operated area is not shaved and remains intact, so the patient can return to work the day after their operation.

With FUT, linear strip excision scars have become almost undetectable, and the results are more natural. This results in fewer complications and a shorter downtime, making patients more willing to undergo surgery.
