TESTIMONIALS
Dr. McAndrews’ Method for Women’s Hair Transplant
Dr. McAndrews’ approach to women’s hair transplant surgery is built on precision, long-term planning, and artistic design. Whether performing FUE or FUT, every procedure is customized to the woman’s pattern of hair thinning, hair characteristics, and future progression. His method prioritizes restoring fullness while preserving a soft, natural hairline and overall feminine balance.
Step 1: Comprehensive Consultation and Evaluation
Every women’s hair transplant begins with an in-depth consultation. Dr. Paul J. McAndrews carefully evaluates the pattern and extent of hair thinning, scalp health, donor hair quality, and overall suitability for surgery. He also discusses expectations, styling preferences, and long-term goals to determine the most appropriate surgical approach. This planning stage ensures treatment is recommended only when it can deliver natural and sustainable results.
Step 2: Donor Area Preparation and Graft Harvesting
The donor area is carefully prepared and numbed using local anesthesia.
For FUE procedures, Dr. McAndrews extracts individual follicular units using a precise punch technique and a stereoscopic microscope, helping preserve surrounding hair and maintain natural density.
For FUT procedures, a thin strip of scalp is removed from the donor area, and follicular units are meticulously dissected under the microscope to maximize graft quality. Both techniques are performed with careful attention to donor preservation and graft integrity, ensuring optimal results for women regardless of hair type or transplant method.
Step 3: Female Hairline and Recipient Area Design
Designing a natural female hairline requires a different approach than male hair restoration. Dr. McAndrews carefully maps the recipient areas based on facial structure, age, hair density, and existing growth patterns. Each angle, direction, and density is planned to restore fullness while maintaining a soft, feminine appearance that blends seamlessly with existing hair.
Step 4: Precise Graft Placement
Once the design is finalized, grafts are placed with meticulous attention to angle, depth, and spacing. Dr. McAndrews personally places each graft by hand to ensure natural growth patterns and balanced density. By performing only one hair transplant per day, he devotes his full attention to achieving refined, natural-looking results.
Step 5: Recovery and Long-Term Results
After surgery, patients receive detailed post-operative instructions to support healing and protect newly transplanted grafts. Most women return to non-strenuous activities within a few days. Temporary shedding is expected, followed by visible regrowth starting around three to four months. Full, natural-looking results typically develop between nine and twelve months.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Dr. McAndrews the best hair transplant surgeon for women in Los Angeles?
Dr. Paul J. McAndrews is widely regarded as one of the best hair transplant surgeons for women in Los Angeles, backed by board-certified dermatology training and decades of surgical experience. He is one of only two doctors in the world to have served as President of both the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery and the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, a distinction that reflects unmatched peer recognition. Dr. McAndrews personally performs every hair transplant procedure, delivering natural, dense results with meticulous attention to detail and long-term outcomes.
Is FUE or FUT better for women?
Both FUE and FUT can be effective options for women, and the best choice often depends on personal preferences, hairstyle habits, and the extent of hair loss. Dr. Paul J. McAndrews evaluates each case individually and recommends the technique that delivers the safest and most natural result.
FUE for Women
Pros:
FUE leaves tiny, dot-like scars that are difficult to detect and allows greater flexibility with hairstyles. It typically involves less discomfort and faster initial healing, making it appealing to women who prefer minimal visible scarring.
Cons:
FUE may require trimming small areas of hair and can be less efficient when a very large number of grafts is needed in a single session.
FUT for Women
Pros:
FUT can provide a higher number of grafts in one procedure and may be suitable for women who wear their hair long enough to conceal a linear scar.
Cons:
FUT leaves a thin linear scar and involves a slightly longer recovery period, which may be a concern for women sensitive to scarring or downtime.
