Be happy with what you have

A French student died by suicide after receiving a failed beard transplant in Istanbul from someone allegedly pretending to be a surgeon.

In March 2024, 24-year-old Mathieu Vigier Latour travelled to Istanbul for a beard transplant. He was studying business in Paris at the time.

According to the Daily Mail, the cost of the transplant was around $1,950, only a fifth of the price it would be if getting the procedure done in France.

I don't think a 3rd World country is the place to go for any medical procedure, but that's just me.

  9. Now that you mention it, Failed Beard Transplant would be an okay band name.

    At least it would be a decent album name.
