ishrs sitri

The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) is deeply dismayed to hear of Pakistani actor Sajid Hasan’s undesirable experience and severe complications due to his hair transplantation surgery. It’s tragic that he and other patients around the world suffer from complications as a result of improperly trained physicians practicing hair restoration surgery. The ISHRS is a global non-profit medical

HAIR RESTORATION SURGERY RISK FACTORS

Things That Increase Your Risk for Complications After Surgical Hair Restoration You may think of surgical hair restoration as minor surgery compared to major procedures such a hip replacement and organ transplantation. While those and other major surgical procedures are long, complex operations, hair restoration surgery is not major surgery and has proven to be very safe. As with all

EXCISION OF BALD SCALP UTILIZING TISSUE EXPANSION OR EXTENSION

By Martin G. Unger, MD, FRCSC, ABHRS, FISHRS Although hair transplantation alone is by far the most common method of hair restoration utilized in modern times, excision of bald scalp after either tissue expansion or scalp extension surgery can play a very useful and important role in hair restoration as well. Scalp tissue has the ability to elongate or stretch

WARNING ABOUT SOCIETIES UNAFFILIATED WITH THE ISHRS, Especially Those Permissive of the Unlicensed Practice of Medicine

Background: We continue to hear of cases where hair restoration surgery patients were operated on and harmed by non-doctors. Preventing these occurrences is of paramount importance in our public education campaign. We are gratified to learn that some governments and regulators are taking action to curb this dangerous paradigm. For example, prosecutions for the unlicensed practice of medicine by non-doctors is now

UPDATE FROM ISHRS TASK FORCE ON FINASTERIDE ADVERSE EVENT CONTROVERSIES

Posted by ISHRS on December 17, 2015 Finasteride is approved by the U.S. FDA as a safe and effective treatment of hair loss caused by androgenetic alopecia. That fact has not changed. However, the concern of possible persistent sexual dysfunction side effects from taking finasteride after the drug has been discontinued has received recent attention. The ISHRS Task Force on

CINDY’S STORY

I was diagnosed with a Dermatofibrous sarcoma (a self-contained malignant tumor) when I was 26 years old which had been growing on the back of my head since I was born. When the doctor removed the 2-inch tumor so much tissue had to be removed that they needed to use a graft to close the wound. In addition, I had

27-Year-Old Cancer Survivor

My story began in Oct. 2008 when I was only 23 years old. I had a large tumor growing out of the side of my face. After having it surgically removed, it quickly returned and I again underwent surgery on it. At that time I got the devastating news that it was a rare cancer, called Pilomatriical carcino/sarcoma. I again

LUCILLE’S STORY

I was eighteen months of age and my Mom had put a pot of oil on a hotplate to cook some fries. Mom went to answer the phone and I reached up and pulled the boiling pot of oil onto my head. I was rushed to the nearest hospital which was called York County at that time. It was here

HAIR LOSS PATIENT STORY: VINCENT

I am 34 years old. I have always considered the physical appearance as essential in our modern world, and it has always been so for me. This is why I have done a lot of sports since my young age, such as fitness, snowboard and martial arts. I also take great care in the quality of the food I eat.

HAIR LOSS PATIENT STORY: 49 YEAR-OLD WHITE MALE

I first started noticing my hair loss when I was 15 years old, but it was very gradual. I was into my 40’s before it was really bad. I was married for 20 years, but eventually found myself divorced. My social life, while bald, was pretty bad. I really disliked hairpieces, so I looked into hair transplants.   My doctor was

HAIR LOSS PATIENT STORY: MY STORY

My story is probably similar to many other people going bald, in that I don’t like it. Bald may be beautiful to some, but personally I would rather walk around without my pants on than be bald. Of course, we can always dress appropriately, but not having hair was difficult to work around. Since I started to lose my hair

My hair loss started in my mid to late twenties and it really bothered me. Oh, did it bother me, regardless of the things you would hear from friends and family like “it really didn’t matter”, or “bald is beautiful.” I didn’t buy any of it. Besides, almost all of the advice I got came from guys with thick, full

On February 28th of 1995 I had the first of my four hair transplant procedures. Since then, I have never looked back. What a difference this made in my life. The experience made a major change in my appearance. I became an icon of hair transplantation for my two closest friends who have also had the same procedures and for

I started losing my hair at the age of 22. When it started happening, I thought it was the end of the world. Most guys my age had a full a head of hair so I really had a hard time accepting what was going on.   I went to see several doctors at the time but no one seemed
