Originally written to help protect and educate, over the years this article has become one of the most popular in the world despite the fact many readers are skipping over highly valuable content and jumping straight to the end of the article to see the select list of surgeons.
This article alone has unequivocally saved tens of thousands of vulnerable and desperate hair loss sufferers from making drastically uniformed decisions regarding hair transplant surgery and help point them in a much safer direction. I recommend reading the article in full and then rereading it again. Just because your surgeon might not be on the list does not mean they are not ethical and reputable professionals. Digesting the content as it’s intended as it will certainly arm you with the vital information and resources you need to make educated and informed decisions.
Likewise, it will help to guide you in a much safer direction than you might have otherwise taken if you’d decided to go under the knife because of seeing an advert on Instagram or another social media channel which is designed to prey on your desperation and lack of knowledge.
An extremely important element of my recommendations is that all the doctors listed below support the message conveyed by the relevant standards and authorities in the field.
All hair transplant surgeons are created equal, right? Wrong. As Joe Tillman from Hair Transplant Mentor stated during a recent discussion with Spencer Kobren on The Bald Truth podcast: “The hair transplant industry has progressively gotten worse over the last ten years. It has regressed backwards in many ways, especially in patient safety. It’s shocking! Patients must do their research.”
Unfortunately, he’s 100% correct. Things are messy out there. In the last 10 years or so, there’s been an explosion of activity in the industry and dime-a-dozen operators have sprung up all over the world. It seems anyone can slip into a pair of gloves, grab a scalpel and start hacking away at some poor guy’s scalp. Don’t think I’m exaggerating either – I’ve heard some terrible horror stories, and seen the evidence. But today, you’re in luck. Because I’m going to share with you my personal list of surgeons and clinics around the world that I would feel confident sending my best friend to.
