Did Silvio Berlusconi get a hair transplant?

Their story

Silvio Berlusconi was Italy's longest-serving post-war prime minister and a towering media and business tycoon who dominated Italian public life for decades.

He was open about having hair transplant surgery, and the change in his appearance attracted widespread media coverage — a remarkable thing for a sitting leader at the time.

Berlusconi's vanity was itself a constant theme in Italian politics, and his willingness to discuss the transplant fit a broader pattern of highly visible self-presentation.

His is a confirmed case, and one of the most high-profile examples of a politician publicly undergoing the procedure.
