Program Description
The live online webinar occurred on the date and time as noted. The live program was recorded and is now available for viewing on demand until Dec. 31, 2022.
This 2.5-hour CME activity was a live webinar that was recorded with the intention to be re-watched or viewed as on-demand education. The program is intended for physicians who perform hair transplantation surgery utilizing either strip or FUE graft harvest methods. This webinar is being conducted to provide physicians knowledge on surgical complications before, during, and after a hair restoration procedure. As a result of this activity, learners will gain more knowledge about how to minimize complications and provide optimal results for patients. The online live component included presentations, panel discussion, and audience participation via verbal questions and discussion, typed chat Q&A and polling.
Professional Practice Gap
Hair restoration surgery is a procedure in which the majority of patients have good results with minimal complications. However, complications can always occur and it is necessary for physicians to have knowledge of common and uncommon complications so they can prepare for and prevent complications that will result in poor results and poor growth of the transplanted hair.
Educational Need
A hair transplant surgeon needs to set the tone and plan for a successful hair transplantation procedure. The donor region is a limited supply and necessary assessment of the area needs to be done in order to set expectations as well as avoid complications. Complications can occur regardless of the extraction method used, and may occur at various points of the surgery.
A hair transplant procedure can provide valuable outcomes for patients, including increased self-esteem and confidence. Complications can lead to multiple corrective surgeries, visible scarring and other poor outcomes for patients. A physician performing hair restoration surgery should be able to successfully evaluate common and uncommon complications to both properly plan for surgery and discuss all potential risks with patients with honesty and integrity.
