Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is a condition characterized by cicatricial alopecia affecting the frontal hairline, causing aesthetic and psychosocial repercussions. This case report describes a 47-year-old patient with no comorbidities and stable FFA. After two years of clinical treatment, she underwent frontoplasty combined with Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) hair transplantation, with implantation of 2,100 follicular units. Combining the two surgical techniques in a single procedure proved safe and effective, with good aesthetic results after 15 months. Disease stabilization and a multidisciplinary intervention were key. A combined approach of medical and surgical treatment is feasible and enhances results in selected cases.
