Although most hair loss sufferers associate quality hair transplant surgery with the skill and expertise of the operating hair restoration physician, excellent results would not be possible without highly trained and dedicated hair transplant technicians.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS) would honor crucial team members each year by awarding one dedicated technician with the Distinguished Assistant Award at the annual ISHRS Meeting.
This year, the 2012 ISHRS Distinguished Assistant Award was awarded to Tina Lardner, the lead technician for recommended hair transplant surgeon Dr. James Harris.
For the past 16 years, Tina has served as the lead surgical assistant/technician at the Hair Science Institute, helped develop new techniques for handling extracted follicular unit grafts, and also acted as a teacher and lecturer for a variety of hair technician training courses. Because of her dedication to improving and evolving the crucial role of the hair transplant technician, we cannot think of a more deserving candidate for the ISHRS Distinguished Assistant Award.
Please join me in congratulating Tina for winning the Distinguished Assistant Award at the 2012 ISHRS Meeting in the Bahamas.

Tina -- I have had the privilege working with you as faculty in several ISHRS Beginner's Workshop, many Orlando Live Surgery Workshops, and last weekend at the 4th Annual 360 Hair Transplant Workshop in St Louis, sponsored by ISHRS and the University of St Louis. Your knowledge, teaching talent, extensive experience, kindness, warm personality, also being a successful parent and spouse has been appreciated by hundreds. I am so honored to call you a friend. Mel
