A hair transplant for patients identifying as transgender can cost anywhere between £4,000 to £10,000. The price is primarily dependent on how many grafts you require for your transplant. Clinics will charge different prices depending on a number of factors. In this article, we will go through the main considerations when it comes to the cost of a transgender hair transplant, including:
- Do you require a small or large hairline or crown feminisation surgery?
- The surgeon's experience and skill
"I see lots of patients who identify as non-binary femme or female at different stages in their transition journey wanting to know how much it will cost to feminise their hairline. To know the cost of undergoing hair transplant surgery will always require an in person consultation where we can go through key considerations as part of the transition process and I encourage patients to speak to me about their wants and wishes."
Dr Dilan Fernando, Hair Transplant Surgeon and Director at The Treatment Rooms London
Transgender Hair Transplant Surgery
A transgender hair transplant involves transplanting grafts (hair) from the back and sides of the scalp to a hairline or crown to feminise the hairline or to restore hair where it has been lost in the crown. There are 2 main techniques for extracting the hair:
- FUE Hair Transplant Surgery - this involves cutting each hair individually out and relocating them to feminise a hairline or restore hair in the crown
- FUT Hair Transplant Surgery- this involves cutting a strip of skin from the back of the head, and then using this hair to transplant into a feminine hairline or crown
Transgender hair transplant cost - hairline feminisation and crown
The main factor in determining the cost of a transgender hair transplant is the area that needs to be transplanted either the hairline and/or crown.
Most commonly transgender hair transplant surgery involves feminising a hairline that has a masculine outline. Depending on how far back the hairline has receded will dictate the size of surgery and whether we suggest undertaking surgery over 2 sessions.
Hair transplant for hairline feminisation cost
At The Treatment Rooms London, for mild to moderate recession, the cost for hair transplant surgery for hairline feminisation will range between £4,000 to £6000. This will cover surgeries requiring 1000-1400 grafts. Patients may opt for a second procedure to further full feminisation of their hairline. This will cost a further £4,000 to £6,000.
The cost for larger hairline feminisation hair transplants requiring 2000 grafts will range between £6,000 to £8,000. An example of such a case can be seen below.
Hair transplant for scar concealment after facial feminisation surgery
Patients may also have had facial feminisation surgery and wish to conceal their hairline scar with a hair transplant. The cost for hair transplant surgery for scar concealment after facial feminisation will range between £4,000 to £6000, covering surgeries requiring 1000-1400 grafts.
Crown hair transplant surgery cost
Crowns tend to be much larger in surface area than a hairline or scar concealment surgery and patients can expect the area to require a much larger number of grafts. As a result the cost for surgery in the crown tends to be higher than other areas of the scalp. At The Treatment Rooms London, the cost will range between £4,000 to £10,000 for a crown hair transplant. This will cover surgeries that require between 500-2000 grafts. You can see a collection of crown hair transplants in our patient gallery.
The Surgeon's experience and skill in performing crown hair transplants
At The Treatment Rooms London, we have a dedicated hair transplant Surgeon, Dr Fernando, who consults and operates on all patients who are transitioning. He has a wealth of experience in advising on the following considerations:
- The best time to undergo hairline feminisation hair transplant surgery in keeping with other facial feminisation surgeries
- How much hair you will need to shave to perform surgery; understanding that most of his patients prefer to have as little amount of hair shaved
Dr Fernando carries out all major aspects of transgender hair transplant surgery, including:
- Extraction of hair
- Re-implantation of hair using an implanter pen or the DHI method into the the areas that require operating on. This is particularly beneficial when directing the flow of hair to mimic a natural feminine hairline
Our Surgeons are also the owners of our hair transplant clinic and are hands-on throughout your surgical process. They take pride in the high level of care and involvement they have in their patient's care. For this reason, the price for a transgender hair transplant will reflect our high standard of care.

LOOK NO FURTHER for your hair restoration needs! The Treatment Rooms London are the BEST IN THE GAME. Dr Fernando and his team gave an EXEMPLARY level of patient care from start to finish. Dr Fernando took the time to meet me personally pre-op, answer all of my questions with clarity and MEDICAL GROUNDING. I was pleasantly surprised at how PAIN FREE the whole procedure was. I did not feel a thing! The only regret I have is not getting it done sooner! If you are considering a hair transplant or are unhappy with thinning, just give The Treatment Rooms a call. You will not regret it!

Honestly, an amazing experience. From the service to the results. I urge you to just book a consultation on zoom with the surgeons and decide for yourselves. And it's free, everyone-else in London charges you for it. The experience was painless, smooth and the end results 12 months in, are just more than I could have imagined. I wanted to share photos to help others in similar situations to me, because seeing photos before my procedure from men with similar hair loss to me, really helped me gain confidence in doing the procedure and in Dr Vara.

The Treatment Rooms London, the best most professional place to go for a your hair transplant. Firstly while searching where to go their website has all the information you need then came back straight away after filling out the online form. Had a virtual appointment within days, a week later went for a consultation in their Putney office where Dr Dilan Fernando went through everything about the procedure & dates available for surgery. All within 2 months have had the transplant & results are looking great within days. Can’t thank the whole team enough, they all make you feel comfortable, very professional & outstanding service. If you wondering where to go for a hair transplant make sure to contact The Treatment Rooms London in Putney as definitely the best. Thankyou again!

I went in for my 12 month review today (couple months overdue) and I couldn't be happier with the results it exceeded all my expectations. I can't thank Dr Fernando, Dr Vara and the entire team of the treatment rooms enough for there professionalism and caring nature. I've looked at many clinics over a good few years and none made me feel more welcome and cared for than the treatment rooms.

I felt compelled to leave a review after just 4 months. After many years of research, deliberation, chats with turkish clinics, UK clinics, Iranian clinics it was The Treatment Rooms london that won me over. I had been using disguise sprays and fibres for years to the point it was ruining my life (couldn’t swim) get caught in rain etc and i really couldn’t see a way out. After research i couldn’t see how this would work. 4 months in and i’m beyond ecstatic, my hair is thick, covering and i’m so so excited. Even after 4 months i would be happy as it is they are that good. My whole frontal area was thin and now after 4 months it’s thick (see images). if i can help anyone make the right decision then i’m happy with that. Trust me, i don’t do things by halves and always look for quality. To say the work is natural
is an understatement. Dr Vara, thank you so so much for changing my life.

Great friendly and personable consultation with Dr Vara, with no pressure on taking surgery. On the day the team made me feel
super at ease and supportive with no real pain experienced at all. Results were fantastic and were better than could have been expected. Highly recommend the Treatment Rooms as a place for your hair transplant in the UK. This has hugely helped my confidence overall which I am very grateful for!
