This has resulted in many instances of hair transplants done incorrectly. In some instances, patients have suffered severe medical issues and in others the aesthetic results have been poor. ISHRS members are assisting these patients with corrective surgery,\" said Paul T. Rose, MD, JD, FISHRS, chair of the ISHRS Fight the Fight Subcommittee. \"This is why knowing whose hands and eyes you are relying on is imperative to a safe and successful surgery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Frequently Asked Questions\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> How can patients avoid falling victim to a black-market hair transplant clinic?The ISHRS urges patients to do their homework before undergoing hair restoration surgery. Patients should research the physician who will perform their surgery and verify their medical credentials with the local medical professional licensing authority. Patients also need to understand which portions of the hair restoration surgery need to be performed by a properly trained and licensed physician, and which tasks can be legally delegated to qualified medical technicians.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> What are the risks of black-market hair transplants?There are numerous risks to patients who undergo a black-market hair transplant, all of which jeopardize patient safety and outcomes. Consequences of hair transplants performed illegally can include permanent visible scarring, infection, thin patches of hair, bald spots, and over-harvested donor areas that can be very difficult to correct. In cases where damage can be fixed, patients will often require more than one corrective procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> How common are repair cases due to black-market hair transplants?According to the ISHRS 2025 Practice Census, 59% of surveyed ISHRS members reported black-market hair transplant clinics operating in their cities in 2024, compared with 51% in 2021. Members also reported that an average of 10% of their repair cases in 2024 involved a previous black-market hair transplant, compared with 6% in 2021.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> What is World Hair Transplant Repair Day?Held annually on November 11, World Hair Transplant Repair \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fedge.prnewswire.com\u002Fc\u002Flink\u002F?t=0&l=en&o=4809410-1&h=3982154572&u=https%3A%2F%2Ffightthefight.ishrs.org%2Fhair-transplant-repair-day%2F&a=World+Hair+Transplant+Repair+Day\">Day\u003C\u002Fa> is an ISHRS initiative designed to raise awareness of the dangers of black-market hair transplant clinics while helping connect victims with trained hair restoration surgeons for a chance to receive a pro bono corrective hair transplant procedure.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> Where can consumers learn more?The ISHRS's Fight the \u003Ca target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fedge.prnewswire.com\u002Fc\u002Flink\u002F?t=0&l=en&o=4809410-1&h=905770851&u=https%3A%2F%2Ffightthefight.ishrs.org%2Fabout%2F&a=Fight+the+Fight\">Fight\u003C\u002Fa> campaign provides educational resources in more than a dozen languages, patient case studies, archived educational livestreams, and information designed to help consumers make informed decisions about hair restoration surgery.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp> About the ISHRSThe International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) is a global non-profit medical association and the leading authority on hair loss treatment and restoration with 1,200 members throughout 80 countries worldwide.
