Alexis Mac Allister undergoes hair transplant in Buenos Aires after World Cup final

Two weeks after playing in the World Cup 2026 final, Argentine midfielder Alexis Mac Allister returned to Argentina for a hair‑transplant procedure at a leading clinic in Buenos Aires. The operation was performed by surgeons Dr. Mariano Calero and Dr. Bruno Szyferman, who posted images of the completed graft on their professional accounts. The treatment quickly spread on social media, drawing attention from Liverpool fans concerned that post‑operative care might delay his return to the Premier League, where his next match is scheduled in 21 days. Mac Allister had previously shaved his head before the tournament to conceal progressive hair loss, making the transplant a planned step to restore his hair.

The clinic highlighted the athlete’s confidence in the medical team, emphasizing the dedication and experience involved in the procedure. While the change was presented humorously by the player, it sparked discussions about the impact of such cosmetic surgeries on professional athletes’ schedules and performance.
