Program Description

The live online webinar will occur on the date and time as noted. The live program will be recorded and available for viewing on demand until January 10, 2026. This 2.5 hour live webinar will be recorded with the intention to be re-watched or viewed as on-demand education. This webinar is being conducted to provide physicians with scientific updates and current studies related to the management of different types of complications that may occur during or after hair transplant surgery.

As a result of this activity, learners will gain more knowledge in current practices to manage the wide range of hair transplant related complications.

The online live component will include presentations, panel discussion, and audience participation via verbal questions and discussion, typing chat Q&A and polling.

Professional Practice Gap

Despite the increasing popularity of hair restoration surgery, many physicians lack comprehensive training in managing complications that may arise during or after the procedure. This gap in knowledge and skills can lead to suboptimal outcomes for patients and potential legal ramifications for practitioners.

By addressing the professional practice gap through specialized education and training in managing complications in hair restoration surgery, physicians can enhance patient safety, improve outcomes, and mitigate potential risks associated with the procedure.

Educational Need

There is a critical need for physicians performing hair restoration surgery to receive specialized training in identifying, preventing, and managing complications associated with the procedure. This includes early recognition of signs of complications, infection prevention and treatment, addressing donor site issues, managing scarring and pigmentation problems, and providing psychological support to patients experiencing poor outcomes.

Learning Objectives

• Identify possibly vascular complications and explain how to effectively manage them.
• Analyze and manage factors which may cause poor hair growth.
• Manage scarring and pigmentation issues in hair surgery to enhance aesthetic results and patient satisfaction.
• Describe the psychological impacts of poor outcomes in hair restoration surgery and provide appropriate counselling and support to patients.
• Discuss corrective surgery techniques for failed transplants to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
• Cite case studies of complex complications in hair restoration surgery to develop a comprehensive understanding of management strategies.

Target Audience and Prerequisites

This webinar is taught at the physician level. It is open to all levels and geared toward advanced hair restoration surgeons.

In accordance with the ACCME Accreditation Criteria, the ISHRS must ensure that anyone in a position to control the content of the educational activity (planners/ speakers/authors/moderators) has disclosed all financial relationships with any commercial interest (termed by the ACCME as “ineligible companies”, defined below) held in the last 24 months (see below for definitions). Please note that first authors were required to collect and submit disclosure information on behalf all other authors/contributors, if applicable.

• Ineligible Company: The ACCME defines an “ineligible company” as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services used on or consumed by patients. Providers of clinical services directly to patients are NOT included in this definition.
• Financial Relationships: Relationships in which the individual benefits by receiving a salary, royalty, intellectual property rights, consulting fee, honoraria, ownership interest (e.g., stocks, stock options or other ownership interest, excluding diversified mutual funds), or other financial benefit. Financial benefits are usually associated with roles such as employment, management position, independent contractor (including contracted research), consulting, speaking and teaching, membership on advisory committees or review panels, board membership, and other activities from which remuneration is received, or expected.  ACCME considers relationships of the person involved in the CME activity to include financial relationships of a spouse or partner.
• Conflict of Interest: Circumstances create a conflict of interest when an individual has an opportunity to affect CME content about products or services of an ineligible company with which he/she has a financial relationship.

The ACCME also requires that ISHRS manage any reported conflict and eliminate the potential for bias during the educational activity.  Any conflicts noted below have been managed to our satisfaction.
