  • Summary

  • There is a growing black market for hair restoration surgery fueled by flashy TikTok and Instagram videos, putting people at risk who don’t understand who is truly qualified and what’s realistically possible.

    Having completed hundreds of hair transplant procedures together, from their training and depth of experience Lindsey and Dr. Houssock educate us on everything we need to know, including:

    • What the red flags are and how to spot them before and during consultation
    • Ways to tell whether the facility, doctor, and team are qualified and trustworthy
    • The shocking truth about who’s legally allowed to do hair transplant surgery
    • Why a scared patient came straight to the office after a 12 hour overseas flight and what happened to his grafts
    • The risks of traveling long distances for surgery & why the first 48 hours after surgery are critically important
    • The permanent consequences of overharvesting
    • Why 5000 grafts is logistically impossible in a single day
    • Why a fast procedure may not be a good thing
    • Standards and best practices for hair transplant surgery
    • How dishonest marketing misleads people into thinking the impossible is possible
    • What questions to ask when you’re consulting with someone for hair restoration surgery
