You might be surprised to see a woman undergoing a hairline transplant, but it’s far more common than many people realize. Women can experience a receding hairline for several reasons — family genetics, hormonal changes such as menopause, and medical conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome. Thanks to advances in modern hair grafting, lowering the hairline isn’t just an option for men anymore. Women now have access to effective, natural-looking solutions rather than feeling limited to wigs or weaves.  

To show just how transformative a female hairline transplant can be, here is Yvonne’s journey in Turkey with Este Medical and how just over 3,000 hair grafts reshaped her hairline — and her self-confidence.  

‍Yvonne’s Female Hair Transplant Outcome  

Yvonne’s experience in Turkey was unique. Not only did she receive 3,369 hair grafts to rebuild her hairline, but her procedure was also customized for her afro-textured hair. Este Medical is a leader in afro hair transplants in Turkey. After only five months, her hairline is coming in beautifully, and she feels more confident styling and embracing her look. Here’s what she had to say about her hairline-lowering procedure with Este Turkey: 

“It has been 5 months since I had my hair transplant and the results are so good. I’ve regained my confidence; I’m so happy and looking forward to doing so much more with my hair that I couldn’t do before the hair transplant. The whole experience was encouraging. Thank you Este Medical Group.”  

Yvonne is one of many clients with afro-textured hair choosing Este Medical Turkey for effective afro hair transplant and textured hair treatments. Here are two more individuals who have visited our Istanbul hair loss clinic for hair surgery.

Successful Afro Hair Grafting Results! 

Este client Kebba had an afro hair transplant in Turkey with 4,115 grafts! 

As mentioned above, concerns about kinky or curly hair shouldn’t stop you from exploring hair grafting options. After one year, our client Kebba achieved a strong hairline after receiving more than 4,000 hair grafts to address his male hair loss. His journey is especially valuable because he documented every step — from the moments right after surgery to his one-year results. We encourage you to look into his experience as you consider your own options, as it shows the full journey: what happens 24 hours after a hair transplant, two weeks in, and how progress continues at the 2-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month stages.

Dario had a successful Este Medical Istanbul afro hair transplant. 

At 47, our client Dario decided it was time to restore his hair and chose Este in Turkey for his afro hair grafting. He required more than 4,400 grafts to rebuild a natural, full head of hair. In less than a year, his hairline has been restored, his confidence renewed, and he’s thrilled with the transformation. Dario is one of many men and women seeking world-class hair transplants at prices far more affordable than in the U.S. He’s also one of our many American clients who traveled to our Este Turkey hair loss clinic for a specialized hair transplant.

Yvonne, Kebba, and Dario offer a valuable look at what clients can expect when they have highly specialized needs and hair type requirements, including afro hair. Este Medical has long been the leading service provider for hair transplants and continues to stay at the forefront of the latest advancements — from robotic DHI hair transplants to stem cell and PRF non-surgical hair regrowth treatments.

Can People with Curly or Afro Hair Have Hair Transplants?  ‍

Curly, coiled, or afro-textured hair brings its own set of challenges, but that should never limit men or women from choosing a Turkey hair transplant. The good news is that advanced hair grafting methods can be tailored specifically to textured hair — the key is choosing a clinic with surgeons experienced in afro and curly hair transplants. You’ll find that level of expertise at Este Medical.  

It is absolutely possible to have a successful hair transplant with curly or coiled hair. These hair types can sometimes be more complex to extract and implant because the follicles curve or shape. This requires advanced technique and specialized tools. But there’s also an advantage: curly hair often creates a naturally fuller look with fewer grafts, helping clients achieve dynamic hair coverage and definition.  

Afro-textured and curly hair follicles are structurally different from straight hair, which means both the extraction process and graft implantation must be handled with precision to preserve the curl pattern. At Este Medical in Turkey, our Istanbul surgical team is highly trained to prioritize hair follicle shape, hair growth direction, and natural hair density, ensuring each hair graft is positioned for the most natural and seamless result.

Hair transplants can be just as effective for curly and afro hair as they are for straight hair when performed by skilled specialists. At Este Medical, we offer proven hair transplant options such as FUE and DHI that respect your curl pattern while delivering natural, long-lasting results.

Are Female Hair Transplants Different from Male Hair Grafting Procedures?  ‍

Men and women often experience hair loss for different reasons, but the goal is the same: to restore healthy, natural-looking hair and regain confidence. Because the causes and patterns of hair loss vary between genders, the approach to male and female hair transplants can differ in technique, planning, and overall design.  

For men, the primary focus is usually rebuilding a natural hairline and adding hair density in areas where balding or hair thinning is more pronounced. Male pattern baldness often affects the frontal hairline and crown, so hair graft placement is typically concentrated in those regions to achieve a defined, masculine hairline.

‍For women, hair loss tends to be more diffuse across the scalp. As a result, female hair transplants often aim to increase hair density throughout a wider area, requiring a more delicate and evenly distributed approach. Many women also choose to restore or lower the hairline, but the emphasis is generally on achieving balanced coverage and fuller hair volume (see female hair loss).  

There are also unique considerations for female clients. Hormonal changes, menopause hair changes, thyroid conditions for women, and other medical factors can influence female hair growth before and after the transplant. Addressing these factors is essential to optimize results and maintain long-term hair health.
