Skill and Training and Today’s Hair Restoration Doctor
Surgical hair restoration is a specialty of cosmetic surgery that requires specific training
and experience in addition to the general training received by all surgeons. Its body of
knowledge has been growing for decades and has been incorporated into formal medical
education programs. Its growth into a unique body of knowledge marks the evolution of
hair restoration surgery into a unique surgical discipline. Some surgeons who specialize in
hair restoration do no other type of cosmetic surgery. In other instances, hair restoration
surgery may be performed in an overall practice of dermatologic or plastic surgery. In
either case, the surgeon who is qualified to perform surgical hair restoration must have
received the requisite training and experience in an approved training program. When
choosing a hair restoration surgeon, it is always a good idea to ask specific questions
about the surgeon’s training, experience.
