Dr. McAndrews Performs Both MTF & FTM Hair Transplants
Male to Female (MTF) Hair Transplant
For transgender women, achieving a naturally feminine hairline is one of the most transformative steps in the transition journey. A feminine hairline typically sits higher and has a softly rounded shape, compared to the more angular, M-shaped hairline common in biological males. Dr. McAndrews specializes in MTF hair transplant procedures that artfully recreate this softer, curved frontal hairline while also addressing any hair loss caused by the effects of male-pattern baldness prior to or during hormone therapy. Using advanced follicular unit excision (FUE) and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) techniques, Dr. McAndrews designs a hairline that is proportional, natural-looking, and aligned with each patient’s unique facial features, helping transgender women feel confident and authentically themselves.
Female to Male (FTM) Hair Transplant
For transgender men, a hair transplant can be a powerful tool in creating a more masculine appearance. A natural male hairline tends to sit lower on the forehead and often features a subtle temporal recession that gives the face a stronger, more defined look. Dr. McAndrews works closely with FTM patients to design and transplant hairlines that reflect authentic male characteristics, whether that means reshaping the frontal hairline, adding density to thinning areas, or enhancing beard and facial hair growth. Because testosterone therapy may accelerate hair loss in some transgender men, Dr. McAndrews conducts a thorough evaluation of each patient’s hair loss pattern and long-term outlook before crafting a personalized treatment plan that ensures lasting, natural results.
TESTIMONIALS
Dr. McAndrews’ Method for Transgender Hair Transplant
Transgender hair transplant surgery requires careful planning, artistry, and a deep understanding of gender affirming aesthetics. Dr. Paul J. McAndrews approaches every case with precision and individualized care to create natural hairlines that align with each patient’s identity and goals.
Step 1: Consultation and Evaluation
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. McAndrews evaluates your hair loss pattern, donor hair density, scalp condition, and overall facial structure. He also discusses your gender affirming goals to design a hairline and restoration plan that supports your desired appearance.
Step 2: Personalized Hairline Design
Hairline design is one of the most important aspects of transgender hair restoration. Dr. McAndrews carefully plans the hairline shape, position, and density to create a natural result that complements your facial features and long term goals.
Step 3: Donor Hair Preparation
Healthy donor hair is carefully harvested and prepared using microscopic dissection techniques. This process preserves the integrity of each follicular unit and ensures the grafts remain strong and viable for transplantation.
Step 4: Precise Graft Placement
Each graft is placed at the correct angle, direction, and depth to mimic natural hair growth. Dr. McAndrews personally performs the surgical steps and limits surgery to one patient per day so that every transplant receives focused attention and meticulous care.
Step 5: Recovery and Hair Growth
After the procedure, patients receive detailed aftercare instructions. Transplanted hairs typically shed during the first few weeks, followed by gradual regrowth over several months. Most patients see significant improvement within nine to twelve months as the transplanted hair grows naturally and blends with existing hair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Dr. McAndrews the best Transgender hair transplant surgeon in Los Angeles?
Dr. McAndrews is considered a leading surgeon for transgender hair transplant in Los Angeles because of his board-certified dermatology training and decades of experience in hair restoration surgery. He is one of the only two doctors worldwide to have served as President of both the ISHRS and the ABHRS, reflecting exceptional trust from his peers. Dr. McAndrews personally performs every hair transplant and performs only one procedure per day, allowing him to focus fully on each patient.
Is FUE or FUT better for a Transgender hair transplant?
Both FUE (Follicular Unit Excision) and FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) can be effective options for transgender hair transplants. The best technique depends on factors such as the patient’s hair loss pattern, donor hair density, hairstyle preferences, and the number of grafts required.
FUE is often preferred by patients who want to wear shorter hairstyles because it does not leave a linear scar. FUT can be beneficial when a larger number of grafts are needed in a single session, which may be helpful when creating a new hairline or increasing density.
During the consultation, Dr. McAndrews evaluates your hair characteristics, goals, and long term plan to recommend the technique that will provide the most natural and gender affirming result.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for a hair transplant?
You may be a good candidate for a transgender hair transplant if you have sufficient donor hair on the back or sides of your scalp, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations about hairline design. Dr. McAndrews will evaluate your donor density, hair loss pattern, and facial structure to determine whether surgery can achieve your desired feminine or masculine hairline.
Will the results be permanent?
Yes, in most cases the results are permanent. Transplanted hair comes from the donor area that is genetically resistant to hair loss, so it typically continues to grow for life. However, existing non-transplanted hair may continue to thin, so some patients may benefit from medications or future procedures to maintain overall density.
Will the results look natural?
Absolutely. Dr. McAndrews is known for his artistic and meticulous approach to hairline design and graft placement, which ensures your results look completely natural and undetectable.
