About

Gustavo Petro is the current President of Colombia, a prominent left-wing politician who has been a significant figure in the country's political landscape. Known for his progressive policies and transformative leadership, Petro has been a key player in Colombian national politics for many years. Reportedly, President Petro underwent a hair transplant procedure around early 2024, which became a topic of public speculation and media interest. According to medical experts who analyzed his recent public appearances, the hair transplant appears to have been performed approximately two months before his first public appearance without a cap. Multiple specialists, including Dr. Mónica Jiménez Baquero from HIC Capilar clinic, noted visible changes such as a well-defined frontal hairline and slight redness consistent with recent hair restoration procedures. For several weeks, Petro consistently wore a cap in public, which medical professionals suggested was likely to protect the newly transplanted hair from sun exposure during the healing process. As of May 2024, Petro has publicly revealed his new hair appearance, confirming the long-standing rumors about his hair transplant. While presidential spokespersons have not officially commented on the procedure, media and medical experts have openly discussed the apparent hair restoration, treating it as a normal cosmetic choice that many individuals make to address hair loss.
