BAPRAS and BAAPS Guidance

BAPRAS and BAAPS Guidance

It is the position of the BAHRS that Hair Transplant Surgery for male and female pattern hair loss should be seen as a treatment for a diagnosable genetically caused and hormonally mediated medical condition, and should not be considered ‘cosmetic surgery’. The BAHRS Position Statement on this can be found here. 

On 21/10/2019 the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) issued a joint press release supporting the BAHRS position on this matter which can be found here. 

Furthermore, this position is re-enforced in the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) Procedure Guide for Hair Transplant Surgery found here and the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) Procedure Guide for Hair Transplant Surgery found here.
