This doctor seems like a genius and is so professional. I can’t help think that he’s way overqualified to do hair transplants. I bet he’s very expensive!
@@drgarylinkov I would trust you with my life, much less my hair, because you genuinely seem like a very honorable doctor. 😊 Don't ever give that up, even for money! 🥰 A lot of other doctors are unethical and just about money. I'm sure you already have a lot of money but please don't ever let greed dictate your ethics. The world needs more of honorable physicians.
I have no interest in a hair transplant whatsoever I just wanted to know what the procedure looked like and then clicked on this video and I’m really amazed honestly, this guy seems absolutely brilliant and I can’t believe his channel and videos have such little recognition given how fantastic he is
For me it was very easy. I started losing hair at the age of 20 and simply said fuck it and shaved it all. Now at the age of 33, it is so natural for me to be bald, that when I see some hair grow I immediately get a shave. Didn't have any problem finding a beautiful woman(been together for close to 10 years) or felt ashamed in any way. On the contrary, It gave me confidence.
My comment that I just put out. Fellas your hair doesn't make you. You make you. When I met my husband he was 38 years old. Oh he had already started balding. He didn't realize this because his hair was very long and it covered up a lot of his thinning. Plus he was in denial. When I brought it up to him he became very emotional. I laughed. He said are you laughing at me. I said no the whole situation. If you think that I'm dating you for your hair you're sadly mistaken. I love men with shaved heads. I also love men with fur on their face. Be it a beard mustache goatee I like it all. I express to my husband don't fret. I never liked you because of your hair. I like you because you're a tenacity you're intelligence your kindness your ability to capture attention, with your words not your hair. And fell into laughter. I said your hair doesn't make you you make you. And that's that it's as simple as that. He now shapes his head and I love it. I love every inch of him. We've been together 21 years. On the other end of the spectrum. My immune system has seen fit to attack my hair follicles. I'm going bald. I can try many things such as shots and chemicals or drugs on my hair. I have a hard time with synthetic medications. I don't even want to go there. I'm super excited to get to the point where I can pixie cut my hair, and get a whole bunch of wigs. I'm not my hair. Never was. I'm still the same person I am as I was with my hair. I'm not emotional over this because I realize we have a lot of things in our system that are causing havoc on our bodies. I wouldn't assist with so many women and men. It's all good.
I started losing my hair in my 20's and immediately started shaving my head because I saw a dude with a comb over and didn't want to ever be that guy. I guess it wasn't aa bad for me because I had always kept my hair really short (almost a buzz cut) because I never wanted to deal with combing or or dealing with it.
@@humbertosantos6229 Yea, it's cool to not have to worry about it. I'm 49 and it's been so long since I've had hair that it would be weird now. I guess if I could just snap my fingers and have a full head of hair I'd probably do it but it's not really a big deal to me. I've got a friend who's 28 or 29 and he's really freaking out over losing his hair so I guess I'm lucky to have never gone through all that. I actually still had hair when I started shaving but I could tell it was thinning and I just didn't feel like dealing with it. I've gotten lazy about it in my old age and only shave it maybe once a week or so. Some girls like me, some girls don't. I stay in shape and make ok money so there are enough of them that like me to keep me busy.
He prob won't because he's straight to the point and actually makes sense people like fast and cheap info that's normally flawed this guys intelligent.
This is the first video of yours I have seen, you immediately gained a subscriber. Excellent combination of medical info mixed with your own personal opinions and experience. Keep up the great work, I hope the YT algorithm rewards you and your high quality content!

Probably the most thorough and professional content on hair transplants! May I ask, does curly hair have any effect on the decision making or the process of the transplant and if so, how?
I had a friend who freaked out when his hairline started receding. He had a strip of hair moved to his forehead to restore his original hairline. Of course, his hairline continued to recede, leaving him bald behind the strip of healthy hair. He ended up looking RIDICULOUS, with this totally fake-looking strip of hair all alone on his forehead. He had to shave that strip of hair daily so he didn’t look so comically bad. Why the surgeon never mentioned that his hair would continue to recede is a mystery.
Whilst you would hope the surgeon would inform him of this, isn't it also your friends' responsibility to research this for himself? If he'd asked the surgeon and they lied about it, that's one thing but to spend presumably a lot of money and not look into the long term effects is rather silly
@@Reynolds69er This is a surgery, do you expect people do be able to accurately do research on an open heart surgery too? The patients do not have PHDs in medicine, they don't have any medical degrees, very likely. They can't be expected to know enough information about the procedure to even know WHAT to research, let alone understand all the nuance involved.
@@rdizzy1 no, I would not expect people to do research on heart surgery because anyone having heart surgery would almost certainly NEED heart surgery, therefore any research they do would be unnecessary. The difference is, if you're choosing to have a hair transplant in the same vain as any cosmetic surgery, you're researching who to do it with, prices and final results. You would expect the person to do the tiniest but of research to find out how they actually work.
And I had to subscribe. Omg I had no idea of the amount of work that goes into the type of grafts the patient received. 1500 individual hair follicles removed and reinserted into his head? Unbelievable and so very interesting! Much respect to you, Doctor, and those in the plastic surgery profession.
I’m very glad I stopped and watched this. Great video. Makes me feel more hopeful after CV-19 & something called plaque psoriasis caused me to lose a lot over the last two months. My Dermatologist told me not to worry, that the hair will grow back after treatment, but I can’t stop watching videos like this.
Same here, bro. I used to have aggressive plaque psoriasis. Constant scratching and bleeding. Was afraid my hair was falling out, but it wasn’t a hair issue, but a skin issue.
I don't feel insecure when I saw that I'm starting to see my hairline goes up than where it should be staying but if I am given a chance to undergo this process, I'll gladly take it ❤️
I had hair transplant surgery in Bulgaria, and I’m very happy to see that everything that dr. Gary said has been actually followed by the clinic I visited, so they seems to follow best practices in hair transplant surgery. Great video!
Thank you @dr. gary Linkov . I watch a ton of your videos and it really sparked my interest in hair transplant. Too bad I live in LA and not NY or would love to go to your clinic.
Back in university, I used to work at a hair transplant surgery. I had to help process the follicles and cut them according to the needle gauge used in different areas of transplantation. It was hard, accurate work but it was $25aud an hour. The process (even 18 yrs ago) was amazing.
The thing I like about Dr.Linkov is when he speaks his statements are factually on topics and less opinionated. Very humble and professional which is why I subscribed to this channel.
You are absolutely fabulous. You’re the total package 😜. I appreciate your channel, your manner, your knowledge and concern. Says a lot about you. I’ll be watching.
you really seem a thoughtful doctor, professional and well mannered. I m not interested myself in a hair transplant but if I was I d surely want you. not that it s even possible I have the super diffuse thinning and never would have been a good candidate.
To all the people who are suffering hair loss and feeling self conscious about it, if you really wanna go through this procedure, then do it. If you think it will genuinely make you feel better, then go for it. But also know this, and never forget it, if someone makes you feel like crap for going through a natural process in life, then they are not worth it. That is not the kind of person anyone should want in their life. And also, the shaved head with a short goatie look is badass!
I was 16 when I started loosing my hair by 18 I was in full male pattern baldness. from 16 to 18 I was in total denial went around with a winter cap on so sad I was so self conscious ! when I was 19 got my first and only wig problem with that was they gave me way more hair then I ever had to begin with it was definitely the darkest part of my life. in those days hair transplants were in their infancy when you got one it was way painful people got bad infections and they looked like dolls hair. I wouldn't have had one even if I could have afforded it ! Hopefully one day they will come out with a real cure so no kid will ever have to go through that.
Yes, the research seems very slow. Probably because there are no grants for hair transplants because it is considered cosmetic. Hair cloning looked like a big deal about 20 years ago, but has gone nowhere.
So sad…i started balding at 15 and soon about to turn 25 and still extremely insecure about it. I wear a cap everywhere i go and I always refuse to do anything that involves taking it off :(( i even distanced myself from many family members that would make fun of me about it. I sometimes can’t believe how much it has impacted my life
What a great video, I have so much hair, I have even consider Lacer to remove some from my forehead and I'm a woman but here I am watching this interesting exploration just because 😅
Been thinking about this for so long now... my dad had a moon when he was 19, and I lasted untill around last year, 22, before it came around. But due to, I assume, stress, it just kicked off so fast that now I'm basically having a constant military cut cuz there's basically a 75% moon already.
So ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) keeps the cells alive through providing energy for the grafts or (cells) contained in the grafts. 👏 The level of knowledge people have sometimes is commendable.
I had a housemate once who was balding. My neighbor thought that he was much older than me but he was actually eight years younger. I was surprised that people judge you based on your hair.
As someone who as a teen had oily skin, large pores, suffered from acne, and so was left with many visible veins in the nose, I envy your clear, even, almost poreless skin. Things are better now though. I lived in Japan for more than a decade and at a certain point discovered Biore products, starting with their nose masks, which finally cleaned the sebum out my pores and eventually allowed them to shrink. The general reduction of inflammation caused by that dirty old sebum led to the gradual reduction of veins near the surface, for which I was hugely grateful. Vigorous washing with Spectrogel-type cleansers and I suppose also a reduction in testosterone in my system - I'm 73 - means that finally I'm not quite as smooth as you, but good enough. I also have mild male-pattern baldness, but the hell with it.
Binge watching all your stuff I love it Wanted to be a plastic surgeon when I was little .. then I found out ya have to work on dead bodies and it freaked me out
Thank you for this video. I am currently a cosmetologist but I’m highly interested in advancing to a different lane within the beauty/cosmetic industry. I considered going back to school to become a doctor with emphasis on trichology and hair replacements. Do you have any knowledge on what alternative route I can take to starting a new career in this field, even on becoming an assistant to the surgeon and what credentials do I need to obtain? I currently have a bachelors degree.
I have a question about my hair... my hair is about medium sized and it’s very difficult for me to move it. You can call it stiff. Some strands look like their bent while others look like they are straight. I’m currently 15 and want to fix this and have normal hair. I also should mention that I have very thick hair. When I was younger it was longer and easier to move. Now it’s stiff and has a weird look. May you please tell me how I can fix this
I had a Dhi procedure. One doctor one technician. Doctor took the hair out . Nurse split the hairs. The technician then put the hairs in a pen and the doctor did the implantation. 1800 grafts completed in 6 hours by one doctor . And the price! $3800 .... I’m really happy with my results:) ps absolutely no swelling with the Dhi method...
@@drgarylinkov Thessaloniki Greece. Dhi have clinics all over the world. I chose Greece as it’s a lest than four hour flight and half the cost as having it done in England.
My hair started going thin in my early 20's, but my late 20's I just had to shave it off. At this point I've too much loss - I would need 6000+ grafts if it was even possible. I'll just stick to shaving my head in the shower every day :) You seem very knowledgeable and it was enjoyable watching this video. A lot of people here in Europe go to Turkey for cheap hair transplants, but I'd rather be bald and look normal than have a weird looking hair transplant done by unqualified people with little experience.
Hi doc I’m losing hair at an alarming rate and I’m only 22, I used to straighten my hair a lot which is one of problems why I’m losing hair, any tips on how to maintain what I have?
Hello, Doctor. Take my love❤️ I have less hair in front of my head since birth. Much like frontal baldness. Also, some of my hair turned white when I was 12. But I don't have hair loss or baldness. What is the reason for this? Am I suffering from a genetic disease? Can I do Hair transplantion surgery in my frontal head?
14:49 Curious that you did not comment on this doctor's weapon of choice. It is obviously not manual punching, I suspect a toggling direction rotary device, perhaps with a sharp but maybe a blunt punch. Outer diameter looks to be 0.8ish?
Not sure how I got from the human anatomy channel, looking at cadavers and how the body works to hair transplant and plastic surgery… very interesting stuff though.
Dr. Linkov, I have a couple questions. I have had to go through both alopecia and telogen effluvium at the same time at 21 years old. My hair has become extremely thin exclusively on top. I am on Finasteride 5mg every other day and an array of vitamins. What else can I be doing besides my medications to help besides going with a full hair transplant
The terminology here is misleading. DHI is just a way of implanting hairs. Has nothing to do with how the hair was harvested. I’ll make a video to explain this.
vertex, mid-scalp are bald, feeling hopeless even though I have good density elsewhere. Hope some doctor can perform a miracle for me, I've been so sad about hair loss for the past 15 years. Just want to be able to take a photo while I am still relatively young and not feel awful about how I look.
I know it’s tough but the good thing is there is something that can likely be done. Reach out to some hair doctors (like me), schedule consults, and do something that will make you feel happier! Life is too short to be sad for too long.
Yea if this is having such a bad affect on ur life it’s might be worth considering. I’m lucky in that it doesn’t affect me quite as much. It does depress me sometimes but I try not to think about it a concentrate on the good things about my body. We can’t choose the bodies we inhabit but we can try to make the most of it. As long as it works well and I’m healthy it helps to mitigate the misery I feel about my baldness
Im 1.5 months Post Op and I cant believe I waited so long. I'm pretty healed up and i have a hairline again already that I havent seen since 18! I can't wait till i hit the 6 mo and yr mark.
i'd like to know what the one guy asked. can you shave transplanted hair? will it grow back? also, can i loc transplanted hair? i have dreads. my head is pretty full except for the typical temperal areas. to be fair though, i've been thin in that area since i was a pre teen. i'm 51 now and at 17 i remember getting a hair cut and the barber mentioned how i had no edges to really shape in.
Doctor you mentioned how covid 19 has seen to cause hairloss and thats exactly what has happened to me, its been 7 months now with continous hair shedding but also ive noticed a receding hairline within those 7 months too, is it possible that the telogen effluvium from covid sped up a male pattern baldness ? ive been so distraught
You mentioned you also use a spray for after the procedure. They mentioned here what sounds like plasmalyte. Do you recommend something similar? Thanks!
Will be making a video on this soon. Too much misinformation. FuE is the extraction method, and has nothing to do with DHI, which is the implantation method.
Thank you because dhi is a instrumental tool they use to implement the hair follicles which I feel like it implements better instead of them using the other tool
Trying to accept hair loss. Still no reason to shave it cause my head is fairly full but i am embarrassed to do it later in life because my head has a weird shape at the crown and back.
A good middle ground. That makes u feel really good is doing a skin head. Or close. Hairs look thicker and . Gives u a preview of what if could be like
Curious if you remove the hairs from the back of your neck and move the follicles to the front do the ones that you extracted from the back ever grow back or no?
Great content, I'm getting a transplant in September. I was told to stop monixnil 6 weeks prior as this can cause increased bleeding. Thoughts? Many thanks.
I really hope i can get something like this done and be able to afford it. I’ve been slowly balding since i was 15 and started wearing hats everyday when i was 18 when my own mom started making fun of me about it. Im about to turn 25 now and I literally will not participate in anything that makes me take my hat off or I become extremely uncomfortable and anti social. Ever since i started wearing my hat my hair has gotten worse and I currently look more bald than my dad who is 48 :(( I don’t wish this on anyone ever and i hope my children don’t have to go through this 😢
Hi Dr. Linkov. Does follicles widen in diameter ... get bumpy (or both)... darken in color....when they are about to grow hair after recovering from alopecia? Thank you.
@@drgarylinkov Thank you for your quick response, Dr.! May I send you a few close up pics? I'm curious to hear your analysis. I lost all my hair around this time last year (AU). Since then the follicles seem to have gradually gotten larger and multiplied. I can clearly feel the bumps/follicles on the top of my head. These magnified pics clearly show the follicles with a few that show hair just coming through.
Hoping for a response, as you’re a surgeon I’ve been following for quite some time and really admire your expertise. I have tattoos on my head. My entire scalp really. I am thinning and am considering an fue transplant. Is this possible with my tattooing? I’m not super concerned about the scarring of the tattoo as I am with the transplanted follicle bringing tattooed skin with it. Any response would be great!
is it normal you have thin hair when your other family members have thick hair? and you have less hair at top than side when your family(both side) start loosing hair at late 30s to 40 years old and you are just a teenager? btw great video and very informative video doc, hope you're doing you're best
I have diffuse nw5-6 pattern hair loss at 21 and the hairs are so weak the barely grow on my scalp. I have thick curly hair and I'm willing to do a higher hairline. Would I have a chance on a mostly normal head of hair? (Besides the crown probably)
The guy that said , I’m only 29 now… i thought he was legit 40+ 🥺
same...despite his hair loss he just looks older.
Some people age faster
@ThatOne prob just needs to exfoliate his skin more frequently
that outfit and glasses don't help it

I was 16 when I started loosing my hair by 18 I was in full male pattern baldness. from 16 to 18 I was in total denial went around with a winter cap on so sad I was so self conscious ! when I was 19 got my first and only wig problem with that was they gave me way more hair then I ever had to begin with it was definitely the darkest part of my life. in those days hair transplants were in their infancy when you got one it was way painful people got bad infections and they looked like dolls hair. I wouldn't have had one even if I could have afforded it ! Hopefully one day they will come out with a real cure so no kid will ever have to go through that.
Yes, the research seems very slow. Probably because there are no grants for hair transplants because it is considered cosmetic. Hair cloning looked like a big deal about 20 years ago, but has gone nowhere.
@@scottpreston5074 So True !
So sad…i started balding at 15 and soon about to turn 25 and still extremely insecure about it. I wear a cap everywhere i go and I always refuse to do anything that involves taking it off :(( i even distanced myself from many family members that would make fun of me about it. I sometimes can’t believe how much it has impacted my life
"I do it myself because I don't trust anyone."
That made me laugh. Great vid. Thanks. If I require a second HT I'll be coming to NYC!
What a great video, I have so much hair, I have even consider Lacer to remove some from my forehead and I'm a woman but here I am watching this interesting exploration just because 😅
Been thinking about this for so long now... my dad had a moon when he was 19, and I lasted untill around last year, 22, before it came around. But due to, I assume, stress, it just kicked off so fast that now I'm basically having a constant military cut cuz there's basically a 75% moon already.
Genetics are strong
So ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) keeps the cells alive through providing energy for the grafts or (cells) contained in the grafts. 👏 The level of knowledge people have sometimes is commendable.
I had a housemate once who was balding. My neighbor thought that he was much older than me but he was actually eight years younger. I was surprised that people judge you based on your hair.
They sure do
As someone who as a teen had oily skin, large pores, suffered from acne, and so was left with many visible veins in the nose, I envy your clear, even, almost poreless skin. Things are better now though. I lived in Japan for more than a decade and at a certain point discovered Biore products, starting with their nose masks, which finally cleaned the sebum out my pores and eventually allowed them to shrink. The general reduction of inflammation caused by that dirty old sebum led to the gradual reduction of veins near the surface, for which I was hugely grateful. Vigorous washing with Spectrogel-type cleansers and I suppose also a reduction in testosterone in my system - I'm 73 - means that finally I'm not quite as smooth as you, but good enough. I also have mild male-pattern baldness, but the hell with it.
73 and still looking after your skin. That is so amazing man
Key thing is to switch away from chemical laden shampoos because those kill and/or clog hair follicles. Use shampoos with all natural ingredients.
Very informative video! Keep up the good work:)
🙏
This guy looks like Hank off of the tv show Barry and I love it. Super cool demeanor and professional. Interesting watch, subbed.
Thanks!
Love this
Excellent commentary doc.
🙏
Would love to see your thoughts on some of (Derek from) more plates more dates hair loss information on pharmaceutical interventions for hair loss
Thanks good idea. Planning to do a more medical therapy focused video soon.
Great videos, thanks..!! Well I think I heard you say or seem to say that you guys can actually use chest or back hairs for donor sites? Is that true?
How important is spraying the head after the surgery?
If you don't do it every hour, will it damage the surgery results?
Binge watching all your stuff
I love it
Wanted to be a plastic surgeon when I was little .. then I found out ya have to work on dead bodies and it freaked me out
Very knowledgeable
Thank you for this video. I am currently a cosmetologist but I’m highly interested in advancing to a different lane within the beauty/cosmetic industry. I considered going back to school to become a doctor with emphasis on trichology and hair replacements. Do you have any knowledge on what alternative route I can take to starting a new career in this field, even on becoming an assistant to the surgeon and what credentials do I need to obtain? I currently have a bachelors degree.
SLAPS HEAD!!! I LIKE YA CUT G!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
More like I like ya graft g
Wow. That 29 year old, talking about his wedding photos, looks about 50 years old. Not just his hair. Everything. I'm shocked.
GREAT. Video... you’re in NY?... good to know
Yep! Thanks.
Dr. Thank you for the informative content. It was educational
My pleasure!
Cloning would be awesome! When do you think this will be here? Also, do you think stem cells under the scalp help hair come back?
Cloning is not around the corner unfortunately. There is some data to support using fat stem cells to help with hair growth.
I have a question about my hair... my hair is about medium sized and it’s very difficult for me to move it. You can call it stiff. Some strands look like their bent while others look like they are straight. I’m currently 15 and want to fix this and have normal hair. I also should mention that I have very thick hair. When I was younger it was longer and easier to move. Now it’s stiff and has a weird look. May you please tell me how I can fix this
I had a Dhi procedure. One doctor one technician. Doctor took the hair out . Nurse split the hairs. The technician then put the hairs in a pen and the doctor did the implantation. 1800 grafts completed in 6 hours by one doctor . And the price! $3800 ....
I’m really happy with my results:) ps absolutely no swelling with the Dhi method...
Glad you had a nice experience. Where was it done?
@@drgarylinkov Thessaloniki Greece. Dhi have clinics all over the world. I chose Greece as it’s a lest than four hour flight and half the cost as having it done in England.
My hair started going thin in my early 20's, but my late 20's I just had to shave it off. At this point I've too much loss - I would need 6000+ grafts if it was even possible. I'll just stick to shaving my head in the shower every day :) You seem very knowledgeable and it was enjoyable watching this video. A lot of people here in Europe go to Turkey for cheap hair transplants, but I'd rather be bald and look normal than have a weird looking hair transplant done by unqualified people with little experience.
Hi doc I’m losing hair at an alarming rate and I’m only 22, I used to straighten my hair a lot which is one of problems why I’m losing hair, any tips on how to maintain what I have?
Hello, Doctor. Take my love❤️
I have less hair in front of my head since birth. Much like frontal baldness. Also, some of my hair turned white when I was 12. But I don't have hair loss or baldness. What is the reason for this? Am I suffering from a genetic disease?
Can I do Hair transplantion surgery in my frontal head?
14:49 Curious that you did not comment on this doctor's weapon of choice. It is obviously not manual punching, I suspect a toggling direction rotary device, perhaps with a sharp but maybe a blunt punch. Outer diameter looks to be 0.8ish?
Hard to tell those nuances from the video alone. In an Asian patient 0.8 wouldn’t be my first choice.
Hi doctor, may I ask when is okay to shave your head after hair transplant?
That was really cool to watch,kind a Brutal, but Cool. I’m Subscribing 👏👏👏👏
Not sure how I got from the human anatomy channel, looking at cadavers and how the body works to hair transplant and plastic surgery… very interesting stuff though.
Go to Dr. Youn's channel... 😂
Thanks!
I'm in the city. I'm definitely calling you for a consult. Thx.
Dr. Linkov, I have a couple questions. I have had to go through both alopecia and telogen effluvium at the same time at 21 years old. My hair has become extremely thin exclusively on top. I am on Finasteride 5mg every other day and an array of vitamins. What else can I be doing besides my medications to help besides going with a full hair transplant
Other modalities include low level laser light, PRP, minoxidil, vitamins.
Hey Gary. What is your opinion on DHI procedure vs FUE?
The terminology here is misleading. DHI is just a way of implanting hairs. Has nothing to do with how the hair was harvested. I’ll make a video to explain this.
vertex, mid-scalp are bald, feeling hopeless even though I have good density elsewhere. Hope some doctor can perform a miracle for me, I've been so sad about hair loss for the past 15 years. Just want to be able to take a photo while I am still relatively young and not feel awful about how I look.
I know it’s tough but the good thing is there is something that can likely be done. Reach out to some hair doctors (like me), schedule consults, and do something that will make you feel happier! Life is too short to be sad for too long.
@@drgarylinkov you sound like a wholesome person
@@Daniel-uk6yr I try!
Yea if this is having such a bad affect on ur life it’s might be worth considering. I’m lucky in that it doesn’t affect me quite as much. It does depress me sometimes but I try not to think about it a concentrate on the good things about my body. We can’t choose the bodies we inhabit but we can try to make the most of it. As long as it works well and I’m healthy it helps to mitigate the misery I feel about my baldness
Im 1.5 months Post Op and I cant believe I waited so long. I'm pretty healed up and i have a hairline again already that I havent seen since 18! I can't wait till i hit the 6 mo and yr mark.
i'd like to know what the one guy asked. can you shave transplanted hair? will it grow back? also, can i loc transplanted hair? i have dreads. my head is pretty full except for the typical temperal areas. to be fair though, i've been thin in that area since i was a pre teen. i'm 51 now and at 17 i remember getting a hair cut and the barber mentioned how i had no edges to really shape in.
I was thinking the midscalp and crown were so thin simply because torry had hair there, but wasnt on finasteride. Is that possible to be the case doc?
Doctor you mentioned how covid 19 has seen to cause hairloss and thats exactly what has happened to me, its been 7 months now with continous hair shedding but also ive noticed a receding hairline within those 7 months too, is it possible that the telogen effluvium from covid sped up a male pattern baldness ? ive been so distraught
Definitely a possibility. Sorry to hear.
I as well have had covid and feel my hair is greatly thinning, how long after covid should it begin?
@@samwaech7199 it started in less than a month for me , as well as my armpit hairs
That sucks, I'm sorry
I think covid speeds it up. My hair was always questionable but full… but in 2020, it went full speed.
Excellent video.
You mentioned you also use a spray for after the procedure. They mentioned here what sounds like plasmalyte. Do you recommend something similar?
Thanks!
Also, if you don’t use bandaging, what do you use? Just leave it open after that initial swelling?
I’m constantly reading different opinions on FUE VS DHI and am unable to decide what to choose, what’s your view on which is better?
Will be making a video on this soon. Too much misinformation. FuE is the extraction method, and has nothing to do with DHI, which is the implantation method.
Thank you because dhi is a instrumental tool they use to implement the hair follicles which I feel like it implements better instead of them using the other tool
It's not you, who decides the method but the doctor, depending on your case.
Trying to accept hair loss. Still no reason to shave it cause my head is fairly full but i am embarrassed to do it later in life because my head has a weird shape at the crown and back.
A good middle ground. That makes u feel really good is doing a skin head. Or close. Hairs look thicker and . Gives u a preview of what if could be like
CZcamsr looks like the actor from Gotham 😱😱 Valcone’s right hand man
I am bald due to a mix of medication i had to take due to my life long illness.
Drug abuse hair.
If you were ever in Toronto i'd come give you a try man! lol been thinking about it!
Come visit us! We get patients coming in from Toronto often.
I have watch several of your videos and I would love to see some of your hair transplant patient results, especially of women.
cityfacialplastics.com/hair-transplant-photo-gallery/
That has everything we are allowed to post online.
@@drgarylinkov Thank you! Great Photo Gallery.
Watching this is quite sobering. I think I’ll choose baldness over this. Surgery frightens me too much
Good on you. It's nice to see people resistant to manipulative marketing that cultivates low self esteem.
Curious if you remove the hairs from the back of your neck and move the follicles to the front do the ones that you extracted from the back ever grow back or no?
Nope
13:22 "...felt like being operated on by an alien after being abducted." LOL 😆
Way to rope us in!
Does this only work if you have pattern baldness? I'm almost completely bald on top, would this work for me?
Great content, I'm getting a transplant in September. I was told to stop monixnil 6 weeks prior as this can cause increased bleeding. Thoughts? Many thanks.
Good luck.
Minoxidil works on the blood vessels so maybe
You should do a review on eyebrow transplants
I feel that when we age a persons eyebrows also loses density making us look older.
I have a few videos on eyebrow transplants. Will make more.
City Facial Plastics: Dr. Gary Linkov awesome
Btw i am a physician as well (geriatrician)
I really hope i can get something like this done and be able to afford it. I’ve been slowly balding since i was 15 and started wearing hats everyday when i was 18 when my own mom started making fun of me about it. Im about to turn 25 now and I literally will not participate in anything that makes me take my hat off or I become extremely uncomfortable and anti social. Ever since i started wearing my hat my hair has gotten worse and I currently look more bald than my dad who is 48 :(( I don’t wish this on anyone ever and i hope my children don’t have to go through this 😢
Hi Dr. Linkov. Does follicles widen in diameter ... get bumpy (or both)... darken in color....when they are about to grow hair after recovering from alopecia? Thank you.
It’s quite variable
@@drgarylinkov Thank you for your quick response, Dr.! May I send you a few close up pics? I'm curious to hear your analysis. I lost all my hair around this time last year (AU). Since then the follicles seem to have gradually gotten larger and multiplied. I can clearly feel the bumps/follicles on the top of my head. These magnified pics clearly show the follicles with a few that show hair just coming through.
Thank you Linkov I am interesting in getting a hair transplant is there a way I contact you for more information
Please email us at info@cityfp.com to set up a consultation.
@@drgarylinkov thank you so much sorry late response. I will be contacting you soon
btw can you get implanted hair from another person? if the color etc match of course
Hoping for a response, as you’re a surgeon I’ve been following for quite some time and really admire your expertise. I have tattoos on my head. My entire scalp really. I am thinning and am considering an fue transplant. Is this possible with my tattooing? I’m not super concerned about the scarring of the tattoo as I am with the transplanted follicle bringing tattooed skin with it. Any response would be great!
Most of the time the moved skin will not survive so what will remain in the recipient area should be mostly hair.
I need to see the update
There are some videos of barbers doing a hair weave for men, they are amazing.
Nice job! =]
I frickin' love your content, you remind me of Joe Pera, in the best way.
Edit; I misspelled Joe Peras last name 😅
Thank you!
Ugh your specialties explanation made me think of grey’s anatomy. I need a grey Sloan plastic surgery review! Lol
is it normal you have thin hair when your other family members have thick hair? and you have less hair at top than side when your family(both side) start loosing hair at late 30s to 40 years old and you are just a teenager? btw great video and very informative video doc, hope you're doing you're best
Yeh the genetics for androgenic alopecia are complicated.
@@drgarylinkov so does it mean im not going bald?
@@vanquinity8619 not really.. sorry for you bro
@@gabenjaa8955 really?
I have diffuse nw5-6 pattern hair loss at 21 and the hairs are so weak the barely grow on my scalp. I have thick curly hair and I'm willing to do a higher hairline. Would I have a chance on a mostly normal head of hair? (Besides the crown probably)
So you talking about the spray bottle have you thought about hyaluronic acid to keep the area moist
