Title: Hair Transplantation in Transgender Women and Men: Integrating Surgical, Medical, and Psychological Care
Program Description
Hair transplantation has become a popular option for transgender individuals seeking gender affirmation. However, unlike traditional hair transplant patients, transgender individuals require a multidisciplinary approach that includes collaboration among hair restoration surgeons, endocrinologists, psychiatrists, plastic surgeons, and other specialists. A comprehensive clinical evaluation and careful surgical patient selection are essential before proceeding with hair transplant surgery.
