    The ISHRS (International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery) warns about "black market" clinics, where unlicensed technicians rather than licensed doctors perform the surgery, and about offers of as many grafts as possible at one low price, which can permanently over-harvest the donor area. It also notes that lower prices alone do not make a clinic unsafe (ISHRS, fightthefight.ishrs.org). Before booking abroad, ask in writing who will make the incisions and extract the grafts, and plan how aftercare and any complications would be handled once you are home.
