Experts Warn Against Unsafe Hair Transplant Practices
Some doctors are warning people about risky hair transplant surgeries.
It's like a small operation that requires skilled doctors, not just anyone.
If the doctors aren't properly trained, you could get sick, have scars, or the hair might not grow well.
In some clinics, untrained people might do the surgery, which is dangerous.
Also, you might need more surgeries later, and you can only have a few in your life.
Always check the doctor's qualifications and look at before-and-after pictures before deciding to have the procedure.
Experts warn against hair transplants by unqualified practitioners.
An engineer's death in Kanpur highlighted the risks.
Qualified professionals include plastic surgeons and dermatologists.
Unsafe practices include lack of sterile environments and unqualified staff.
Patients are advised to check doctors' credentials and past results.
