Title: Hairline -- when and how?

I'm confused on hairline lowering/transplant. Scalp advancement does not give you a female hairline, and for me it's probably not enough.
Should I do a full hairline transplant/redesign before undertaking FFS surgery? Or is it possible to place hairs in the (healed) scarring tissue from the incision around your forehead?

No. Having hairtransplantation before scalpadvancement isn't a good idea. The transplants will fall out permanently after scalpadvancement.
A hairtransplant +/- a year post scalpadvancement will work better, a year and a half would be better.

That is not true. I had hair transplants half an year ago to get a female shaped hairline and a few weeks ago a hairline advancement of 2,5cm. I had no hair loss and my FFS doc said that is normal.
I will see how visible the scar is by end of the year and how my hairline looks and decide if I want to have hair transplants on the scar.

I've just had my crown done a few weeks back. I don't have a huge amount of loss at the front, and my hope is that the Fin/Min I'm on and some likely HRT will help recover some of this. I'll then consider hairline in future either with additional transplants or as part of an FFS procedure.

I had hairline advancement during FFS with facial team. The scar is hard to see. Only if I tell someone about FFS he will see the scar. Usually even a medical doctor sees me as CIS woman.
I would do it again ( first hair transplants than ffs) and I would do it again with facial team. I am very happy. My hair is still becoming more dense and I enjoy it to enter a restaurant or cafe.

Yes I did this and I am very happy. Hair needs a lot of time to grow. So start with transplants.

If you plans to undergo FFS, I would recommend you to undergo the FFS before you undergo hair transplantation.
It would be easier for the surgeons to get a hairline that suit your face, when the face is done. Just my opinion.
