Dr Greg Williams

Mr Greg Williams FRCS FRCS(Plast) is a fully qualified consultant plastic and hair restoration surgeon, and the lead hair transplant surgeon at the Farjo Hair Institute's 152 Harley Street practice in London. He qualified in medicine at the University of the West Indies in 1990 before coming to the United Kingdom to undertake his basic and specialist surgical training. He first trained as a general surgeon, obtaining Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons, before completing his plastic surgery training in London and gaining his Fellowship in Plastic Surgery (FRCS Plast). His early clinical experience in treating patients with burn scar alopecia proved formative, laying the technical and clinical foundation for his subsequent focus on hair restoration surgery.

Prior to entering full-time private practice, Mr Williams held the position of Lead Clinician at London's Burn Centre at Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation Trust and served as Clinical Director for the London and South East of England Burn Care Network. In that role he was involved in the strategic planning of burn care across the UK, contributed to contingency planning for the London 2012 Olympics, and co-authored the NHS Emergency Planning Guidance on the management of burn-injured patients in the event of a major incident. He has now accumulated over 18 years of dedicated experience in hair restoration surgery, treating genetic male and female pattern hair loss, post-trauma and burn reconstruction, alopecia of various causes, and hairline restoration. He is widely recognised as the only member of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) who performs hair transplant surgery on a full-time basis.

Mr Williams is a prolific contributor to the professional standards and education of his field. He has authored the Professional Standards and Codes of Conduct for Hair Transplant Surgeons and Surgical Assistants on behalf of the British Association of Hair Restoration Surgery (BAHRS), of which he is a past President. He sits on the ISHRS Guidelines Oversight Committee, has chaired the ISHRS Ethics Committee, and advises the Joint Council for Cosmetic Practitioners (JCCP), the Cosmetic Practice Standards Authority (CPSA), the British Standards Institute (BSI), and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) on matters relating to hair restoration. Since 2003 he has lectured plastic surgery trainees on hair restoration and is a member of the faculty at University College London's Plastic Surgery MSc programme. He has published widely across peer-reviewed journals including the British Journal of Dermatology, Scars Burns and Healing, and the ISHRS Hair Transplant Forum International, and has been invited to author chapters in the Oxford Textbook of Plastic Surgery and the UCL Handbook of Plastic Surgery.

Mr Williams practises at the Farjo Hair Institute at 152 Harley Street, London, where he provides consultations and surgery for patients from the UK and internationally. He approaches each case with the same commitment to honesty and clinical precision that has characterised his career, ensuring patients are fully informed before proceeding and supported throughout their recovery. His dual background in plastic and burns surgery, combined with his dedication to setting and upholding professional standards in hair restoration, makes him one of the most experienced and credentialled practitioners working in this specialism in the UK.
