    TLDR Hair restoration surgery is generally safe, but emergency preparedness is crucial.
    Hair restoration surgery was associated with a very low risk of complications, with most surgeons reporting complication rates of less than 1%. Life-threatening emergencies during these procedures were even rarer. Over a span of 35 years, there were reports of five cardiac arrests during hair restoration surgeries, resulting in three deaths, one severe neurological deficit, a "lock-in" syndrome, and three myocardial infarctions. Despite the low incidence, these events highlighted the importance of emergency preparedness in hair restoration surgery.

Concerns were raised about Turkish clinics, including overharvesting grafts, lack of regulations, and discouraging finasteride use.
