Presidential Message

Dear members of the Association of Hair Restoration Surgeons India,

I feel honoured and deeply obliged to have been chosen as the President for the year 2023-24 for the Association. Especially, being the first female president makes it even more glamorous.

I want to welcome you all to this Association, which was formed in the year 2008 and I was one of the founding members. We made this Association because there were only a handful of hair transplant surgeons in the country, and the number now seems to be swelling each day.

We see almost every dermatologist and plastic surgeon, add hair transplant surgeon to their name. It is a delight to see the surgical speciality of hair transplant surgery, growing by leaps and bounds.

Along with this comes a few challenges - Quackery. The problem of quackery is quite rampant, and we see a lot of transplants being done by technicians, which is leading to mishaps and bad results so much so that people are scared of getting hair transplants done, and feel that it’s not worth it. This brings a bad name to the surgery overall.

I want to increase the membership of AHRS India, so that each and everyone who is adding hair transplant surgeon to their name should be a member of this association, because it promotes ethical, legal, and the correct way of doing hair transplant & hair restoration. We intend to include all dermatologists, plastic surgeons , surgeons with ABHRS clearance added to the list.

I think it is our duty to protect the name of the surgical speciality from going into the wrong hands and bringing it up to the level that it deserves. I assure you that me along with my executive council, will work hard for this purpose, and you would see positive changes coming up. Thank you again for the warm beginnings.
