Thank you for a kind reaction haha! I just posted a 1 year update that might be of interest. 🙏
The surgeon did a great job, some natural hairlines would be ashamed.
Happy for your result Simon!
@@drgarylinkov you've watched so many HT videos and are experienced. if you had to recommend one doctor or clinic in Istanbul/ Turkey which one would it be? It's just we're going there for a few months, so would be great if you could tell us who's a good doctor ( doesn't matter how much it costs) in Istanbul, just in your opinion? thanks in advance
You made a great video man... Totally covered a lot of part 👍👍
You should keep your hair cut like it is at 13:10 of this video. Definitely much better than when it's long. I gotta say..I'm not usually a fan of most transplants but yours looks really great. The hairline not being perfectly symmetrical really works well.
Having a HT is easily one of the best decisions I ever made for myself. I’m so much happier as a person now.
WhEre have u been
Fue or FUT?
Doctor Linkov has a very soothing voice
Wonderful explanation for the surgery/swelling/expected time for recovery. Any university students would be lucky to have you as a professor/teacher.🙌🏻
He looks great and it’s lovely to see someone happy.
Thank you for another interesting, educational video! Who would have known the reactions from the initial hair transplant? The head edema does seem a bit odd-I never thought about it before. Thank you for keeping me motivated to see each video you post. Much appreciated!
Very trustworthy doc, appreciate the content sir 👍
This was very interesting to see the whole process! As a hairstylist, I also think more variations in the front hairline would be even better. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Do you mean the hairline looks too artificial because it looks straight / too perfect?
i agree. i hate when the hairline is too low. looks like a young chimpanzee hairline.
Fake not after 4 months
I don't agrez with this, hairline looks natural!
Thank you Doc, useful info!
The headband helped the swelling from going down. The day I took it off, I woke up with my eyes starting to swell so I wore it again to stop it from getting worst. Other patients i met took it off and some had their eyes almost shut from swelling
I never had any post-op any swelling and I only shedded about 10% of my grafts. My scabs washed out at about the 2 week mark. So that's when I buzzed my head and thankfully I looked pretty normal from that point on. But my thickening processes is taking longer. I'm at about 6 months in and my transplanted hair is just starting to thicken up. Everyone's results will be different. Just trust the process
I’ve just had a hair transplant and I’m Day 4 and I think I’ve watched everyone of your videos Dr! Super appreciate it Gary, keep making us newbies knowledgable!
Holy shit man. Good luck to you and dont forget to trust the process (unless you can tell something has gone horribly wrong)
Dont think hair transplant is for forever . Is not true . Many people do transplant hair after 1 year maximum hair fall down.. that why ur doctor dont tell you becoz he need money. Second think is u will gonna addicted of medicine if u dont want ur transplant hair fall down. That call business stole money
How are you doing with it ? Coming in nicely now ?
@@onenationhere I’m 3 months in today and already seeing a lot of growth. The hairs are thin and whispy but they say it’s only at 3 months growth starts. I’m in a good spot with it and just being patient. The first 3 are definitely the struggle!
How about now?
I think the hairband is really there to make the demarcation between the swelling and the rest of the face less noticeable. People in public will still notice the band and any bandages on the head, but they're less likely to do a double-take or stare. And covered up, the individual themselves may be less likely to obsess over it or feel too self-conscious.

Thanks Doc, I just did this procedure and your advice helps
Hello dr. Linkov. Thank you for you videos! I had a beard transplant almost a year ago, but the shape of the beard wasn't done as we discussed. They promised to do a correction. Is it possible to transfer hair from not wanted parts of the beard? Not a very big amount. (I'm a man, just writing from my wife's account:) Thank you very much
I love this surgeon...Perfect mix between facts and entertainment
For years I also had that patch in the center above my forehead. I'd shave the rest of my head and let that grow long. I'd let it just move around as it wanted, or sometimes I'd slick it down flat. I enjoyed all of this and I'd still be doing it, but it no longer exists, having gone away with the rest of my hair on top.
I love that you do this. It's a shame the US wants a small fortune to get this done. $28k compared to $5k and you get same results is astounding. This was very informative and my friend and I are excited to go to turkey and get it done. Beverly hills for Bosley is just way to much.
$28K?!? That's like double what I was expecting... G*ddamn. I'm in NYC so I'm sure the prices will be just as bad here. And I certainly wouldn't want to risk going to any sort of "discount" or "budget" docs for something like this... but holy sh*t that is steep.
Oh trust me, you're not gonna catch any budget docs 🤣 Bosley I think still sends you to Beverly hills CA. After following him we found a Dr in turkey using the latest technique just like this guy. $2300 and they're very accommodating. Here the room is extra still lol.... The US is nuts with green
@@rdean150 Bosley is definitely the pricier way to go. I paid $8000 for 1300 grafts out of San Francisco for FUE. But I also heard too many horror stories about independent offices during my research, so I shelled out the extra cash for the Bosley guarantee. Keeps started doing transplants and I believe their only office is in NYC. Might look into them as well
@@tcyroger just had my Bosley FuT done how are your results?
@@randybirkes5151 This week is my 1 year anniversary and I'm pretty pumped with the results. My transplants were pretty thin until around month 6, so those 6 months sucked. But everything has thickened out pretty nice since then. My transplanted areas aren't as dense as my natural hair, but you can't tell unless you're specifically looking for it. Currently in the dating market and I've had a few girls mention how good my hair is. Mission accomplished!
I'm at 8 months after my hair transplant (well 8 months tomorrow). I started to see growth at 4 months, but at month six is when I started to see a ton of growth. This guy has a ton of hair at 4 months.
Most hair growth I've ever seen within four months.
@@stevewise1656 really? For most people it starts around month 3 but the explosion of growth happens later than month 4
Same dude I'm at month 5 and I see the biggest change in the last month or so. Excited to see how it advances over the next few months
I'm almost at the 4 month mark now and I am seeing some growth. The hair comes out pretty thin and curly though. This guy has insane results in just 4 months.
Patience, my friends. A lot of patience...
@@TurquazCannabiz Yea for real I remember watching his video before I got my transplant and was excited to have results like that. Unfortunately that wasn't the case lmao. But I'm at month 5 and it looks really good so far, I even went to a friend's party the other day without fear of it standing out because it has filled in well. I think it'll look like his in a month. But you're right the key is patience. Yours will EXPLODE within the next month dude
Hey Dr. Gary, is it safe to start microneedling again with 1.5mm 4 weeks after the hair transplant?
I also had a bandage on the back of my head, which I had to take off in the evening after the operation. I was given a medical sheet for my pillow, but I was allowed to sleep lying down with a neck support so that I could not turn my head. The transplanted hairs fell out after about two to three weeks. Strangely enough, there were a few hairs in the first row that did not fall out and just started to grow. I was not supposed to do sports until 6 weeks at the earliest, which was terrible for me. After the first 6 months, only a few of the new hairs grew. Then it came so little by little. Interestingly, even after one and a half years, it still grew a little more. According to my clinic, after 12 months all the hair should have grown out. Although I was only transplanted into the receding hairline, I was pretty bald at the back of my head for about two years after the surgery. Little by little, it has become a little thicker again, probably because I have started again with Finasterid.
This is so accurate! I did a FUT transplant. Im currently 3 plus months and I'm starting to see growth and its scary excited!
I am going to complete 4 months in 5 days. Don’t see that good hairs coming out
@@jayeshnagarkar7131how is your result now ?
@@jayeshnagarkar7131After 1 year now how good are the results ?
@@jeffrington4036 1 year is not completed yet
I didn't loose my transplanted hair, but what I felt for 4/6 months was random needle pinch kinda pain every once in a while, my guess was new hair growing where no hair was there before, but other than that my procedure was really smooth
Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place; detached or able to be detached.
Lose: be deprived of or cease to have or retain (something).
I have that too, but in the donor area where the removed the grafts.
please tell me: what can be considered "complications" in hair transplantation? And what can be considered "adverse events"? It seems to me that the complication is bleeding, bacterial infection, skin necrosis. Can poor hair density be considered a complication? I think not. can a scar on the back of the head be considered a complication? I think not. what is your opinion? Thanks.
Hey doc. I just loved watching your videos. I just wanna ask if a patient underwent fue/fut, is it still possible to grow a long and normal hair?
i had a transplant in Portugal, and i had to spray my head every 20 minutes for 4 days following the transplant, i only was allowed to shower my head on the 5th day.
Did you go to Dr Ferreira?
Love your channel! I notice you always suggest Propecia and Rogaine. Any long term concerns?
Probably the best results I’ve seen. Congratulations
I am 60 years old I was thinking of getting the patch in the top of my head taking care of but after this video HELL NO HELL NO ! Thank you doctor.
53 here i am staying bald.
The hair ship sailed bruh
@@Settlingintoalaskaliving everything sailed bro! It's funny how much money I have saved up now 😂
@@D.Garcia007 you got that right the hair is the least of the worries when you hit 6-0!
hi, i have done 2HT, 600 grafts FUT, 2700 DHI... after FUT, i had no shock loss, it all grew without falling out, the DHI was the opposite, do you think that FUT method is kind of less drastic to hair?
Just had my FUE done 4 days ago and will be uploading my journey soon on CZcams, working on the video next week. Had the procedure done in Tijuana Mexico, 2500 approx grafts.
You are just beautiful Doc
What if your medical therapy is topical like finasteride/minoxidil after the transplant. Can you apply it?
Very helpful for us
The more I watch your videos, the more I think my transplant was done by unqualified technicians. I’m 14 months post FUE and they are still preaching I will see density later on. My face swelled up for well over a month to the point where I had black eyes, and I definitely did not recover nearly as quickly as most patients I’ve seen on these videos. I also paid 10,000 for 2,000 grafts, and was told retention would be around 90-95%. I would say it’s more like 60-70% after the 14 months based on my results, and my front hairline is very sparse still, so I have to wear my hair down over my forehead. If anyone is contemplating having fue, I would make sure there is a certified cosmetic surgeon involved. The “technicians” will just take your money and don’t seem to care if you’re happy with the results based on my experience.
10,000 what, pesos??
That is assuming they actually put the amount of grafts they say they will......hard to prove otherwise, unless somebody performs an exact count after. Filling in the sparse areas with 'Toppix' powder should help.
Unfortunately the cheapest transplantations in the world are made by technicians. I had also the same in Turkey for 2k. I was too eager... I should have taken the more expensive packages. If I have to go back I will take a doc with it even if some technicians can be skilled!
@@billjoe39absolutely, unqualified practictionners usually don't count and kill a lot of grafts in the process. Scarry that some countries allow unnamed/no face technicians to do it!
Hi Dr. Gary, I’m thinking of getting a DHI hair transplant. But I’m a pretty heavy user of toppik. Just wanted to ask you about how soon are we allowed to use toppik after a transplant?
At least wait 6 months.
Hi Dr. Gary, you mentioned head pressure when lifting (@10:05). Is there a correlation with heavy weightlifting (powerlifting) and hair loss? Mahalo!
I’m 25 years old and My hairs falling out on the top of my head. Has been for the last 4 years. If I get a transplant, will the hair that was previously on my head continue to fall out? And I’ll be left with just the transplanted hair.
Something so satisfying about watching these types of videos
I have a question, if you wouldn't mind. Would applying minoxidil after a couple of weeks aid the 6 months wait for growing process or would it hinder it?
My surgeon asked me to apply minoxidil 1ml twice a day for six months.I am On my 18th day
Dr. Linkov, when doing on FUT, do they cut your hair short prior to translpant? I can take about 2-3 weeks off from work/work from home but I am worried that I am going to look bad when I return. Thank you,
No they don't they just trim the area of the thin strip, that's what they did for me
Dear concern
In my FUE process, I feel that my head is very soft and feel like some liquid is there under skin , it might be due to Anastasia, it's 6th but that feeling is still there , can you confirm how many days it will remain there
If you have wavy hair that grows out into a finger wave pattern, will the grafted hairs grow out into the same pattern?
Great stuff... from an SA Radiologist
Looks fabulous. What a great result.
I had my HT done 5 days ago and I suffer from tremendous headaches . very painful - I have not been able to fall asleep for some nights because of the pain ... is this normal? will this go away?
The band is to huge the crease of the swelling I would imagine. To stop swelling from dropping down the brow would have to be as aggressive as close to a tourniquet
Doctor, is it possible to have a dhi hair transplant (2000 grafts to lower hairline only) 12 days post deep plain face lift? And if you don't suggest this, then what would be the reason why? Could slight inflammation remaining in face cause the transplant to fail and how likely is this to happen? Thank you kindly.
I'm thinking about getting a hair transplant early next year, FUE
I'm wonder if after a month when the hair starts to fall out is it possible to shave the head with clippers without damaging the grafts.
Shaving the sides is ok; normally also the grafts after 1-2 months because after 2 weeks it's well settled in!
Very sympathic doctor you are sir ! Very good Job … Can somebody who had an Transplant grow his hair shoulderlong or is it Bad for the transplanted hair ?
Hey Doc, have you heard about the use of PrP and exosomes to boost the growth rate post-transplant?
Wow it really changes the whole look of someone after procedure
Can’t wait to see my end result
Hello, you mentioned you dont need 1 month of rest from physical activity after a HT, but what if you do power lifting ( not professional by any means )? If you dont know what that entails, basically a lot of extremely heavy lifts like deadlifts, squats and bench press at the limit of your strength. So its a lot of "head pressure" and high blood pressure from the breathing techniques and effort. is 14 days of rest still enough?
I ask my doctor and he said it may be risky. He said 2 weeks is enough for calisthenics or volume training, just not hitting PRs. For powerlifting he said a month tops
How about PRP treatment I was advised to do one each month. How should I continue? And what about having oily scalp and solution for that?
Totally unrelated question. I am insecure about my chin and neckline and I think after doing some research that my bottom yaw might be shorter than it should be. I do want plastic surgery for that but I was wondering because I couldn't really find information about it. If that could have anything to do with me feeling like my troath gets a little closed up from time to time. Sorry for the bad english I am from the Netherlands.
Your English is just fine. Thanks for posting.
12:27 : having mentioned the 6 day and 3 week waiting periods for haircuts at the donor or recipient areas respectively, would that mean that it would be safe and permissible for someone to, in essence, skip the ‘ugly duckling’ phase by just getting their hair cut as they so wish as the months progress?
I think this is great for those of us who can’t justify the cost here. For years I’ve wanted to do this, but at 25k, it felt like a selfish thing to do to my family. This route, I can pay it off in cash immediately and not feel guilty.
But how much did you pay in the end
@@billjoe39 I decided to stay local. By the time you factor in flight, it was only about 3500 more. 3500 is not with the potential complications. Some procedures in the US run high as 18k, some half that. I don’t think it’s worth the risk.
@@Golfing422 Turkey might be an option, but those flights might not be much cheaper. Perhaps there are less complications with the FUT procedure.......I had 2 of those, no severe swelling then....back in the late 90's ( in Canada) 1000 FUT, single or 3 hair, unit grafts cost about $4500+ CA, the figure has certainly gone up since then. At least back in those days, a psychologist or dentist could be trained to perform the operation, no special certificate was needed.
@@billjoe39 There are people that have gone there and got real hack jobs and once they deplete the donor hair, there is no fixing it. I was told 3600 grafts and I’ve learned that’s too many at once and higher risk. I’m just gonna go around 2200, and be on the finasteride and see how that goes. 7900 bucks isn’t life changing money these days. Turkey with that airfare may have been high as 5000.00.
@@Golfing422 $7000 Canadian is about how much I paid ( in 1999) for 1800 plugs, in two sessions.......or so the amount they told me, anyway, that hair clinic folded after, and they seemed more concerned with image than expertise at the time.
Dr. Linkov, what are your thoughts on Bosley? Are they a safe, and reliable clinic for a hair transplant?
What exactly does the saline water do? Are there any bad effects if is not used?
I'm swedish too. Nice to know they are good here!
Bästa kliniken!😉
Do I stop using finasteride before a hair transplant? How long until I continue using my finasteride again after the transplant?
I lost most of my eye brow hair a couple of years ago, just fell out and never came back. Most people never even noticed as I have blonde hair & they weren’t particularly visible even when i did have them.
How would u feel about taking antihistamines during his healing process?
RE: Would like to ask whether the scalp is injected with a fluid to create space within the scalp making it easier to extract The plugs? THX!
At what point do you recommend starting to really clean the donor area?
I think Simon was not on medical therapy, I believe I heard it from him in another video ... Really impressive these results without further support
Thank you for the analysis and extra info doc!
Thank you
do you recommend starting min before a hair transplant? like months before or after ...i hear alot of horror stories that people start min and go through a shed and never recover those hairs (same thing for Fin) ...BTW your videos have very helpful and informational . Thank you
Do you think it's necessary to wait longer to exercise for high intensity such as boxing?
can you microneedle the new transplanted area? is it a good thing to do so?
When you say the hairline could have had more regularization, what does this mean exactly? Thanks
Is there a way to determine how much hair left after FUT in donor area ? When I did mine in turkey I think they screwed up the number or mixed my case with another patient because Of my very common name.
What do you think of using serratiopeptidase to decrease the sweeling
My appointment is set this month April 2023 - this is my very first appointment coming up where we go over everything. I imagine the actual transplant appointment will be after. Hoping I get these results. My hair is really thick in areas it grows. Just gotta fix the front.
Is there a spray you sell that is soothing for the scalp after surgery?
I had a transplant of 2040 grafs fue about a month ago and still have some numbness and little discomfort which is going away daily how long does that last?
When it comes to sport after a hair transplant, when do u think should ppl start doing contact sports in which I might receive trauma to the head like in Football or MMA?
3 weeks is usually okay
I have question currently I m on oral minoxidil 5g. Can I take alcohol before I take minoxidil orally? Like after I hang out with my friend
I have folliculitis, will this impact me on having a transplant?
Question for the Doc. What can be done if a patient doesn't have male pattern baldness, but rather, all around hair thinning. That's something I don't see addressed in hair restoration videos.
Start using finasteride and minoxidil asap. It will thicken your existing hairs and bring back more hairs in your scalp. Results can be stunning
@@dutchcoiner wrong.
Finasteride has lot of side effects. It affects your sex hormones badly. Minoxidil does work for some people but it also have side effects.
Try with redensyl. I am using it for 2 months, no side effects and my hairfall has reduced but not hair growth yet.
@@VishwadeepShinde most people don’t get side effects from finasteride. I have been taking it for 2 months and it has not given me any side effects at all

Great video! I wish more people would show their donor area as opposed to only focusing on the front. I would like to see how that recovers and looks a year post-op as well.
Donor area looks normal pretty quickly, just after only a few days. However it can remain sensitive for a long time.
@@erikheijden9828many ppl overharvest
Gary thanks for the vid!, I’ve completed my hair transplant in London UK (2 months in) can you recommend shampoo and other products that will be beneficial
We are working on our own right now!
@@drgarylinkov nice let us know where we can purchase, Conor McGreggor got his hair transplant !
Dr post hair transplant whether a person should take life long minoxidil to retain transplanted hair. kindly clarify
he said 3500 grafs on a 6 month update and is NOT on medical therapy
Isn't his other hair just gonna fall out now?
@@Guus115 Most probably yes so its likely he will need a 2nd one later
@@Rumblingbelly what a hassle. I would just shave it if i was him
@@Guus115 I think hair transplants are really tricky because you can never be sure how the hair loss progresses so you can look great for a few years but then you will start to notice the original hairs thinning and then there will be a new problem of not overharvesting the donor area. So if you can pull off the shaved look then its much less stressfull and you save thousands of euros/dollars.
@@Rumblingbelly I've heard that the hair from the donor area isn't affected by DHT
Does PRP treatment without hair transplant works to maintain hair healthy?
I actually think the bandage is needed in some circumstances. I live in Thailand and had my surgery done in Bangkok. We have lots of pollution/dust out here so would say it's necessary.
Exactly. Shit could get easily infected.
Dr Gary looks like you are getting part of the facial hair back! Looking good. 👍
Yes, his eyebrows look good 👍
Got mine 2 months ago. Last 3-4 weeks were tough due to many big pimples caused by foliculites. Hope it won’t impact the success of the operation overall. It has calmed down now.
Quite afraid my results won’t be as good as this guy as I only got about 1600 units on the front (for almost 5k€ tho..) when it says this dude had around 3k. But I apparently have a very rich donor area, so fingers crossed.
Can’t wait for the 4-6 months milestone.
how is it looking now?
@@jaizrox 4 months and a half in. It has been 2 weeks I can really tell I see the hair grow significantly. Thin hair first, getting dense progressively. I think it will keep getting better until the next 2-3 months.
On another note, I've lost a few implants (~a dozen I'd say) on the zones where I had the biggest folliculites, and you can see tiny zones with no regrowth when looking attentively, but nothing obvious and the doc said he will correct this.
How is your hair now ?
what is the best ratio per week to use minoxidil?
What is the treatment of folliculitis?
This has to be hands down the most incredible hair transplant transformation I’ve ever seen. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone get something that looks this good. It appears to be extremely dense and full. Absolutely incredible what science and medicine is capable of doing.
Hey Dr. Gary, Hope all is well with you. Wanted to request that you do a review of Tom Brady's/Tampa Bay quarterback hair transplant. It is one of the most amazing transformations I have ever seen. What a difference in his look. I am surprised it doesn't get more airplay actually. That would be a very popular blog! Great show!
He had a hair transplant? It doesn’t matter. He’s still hot.
My question is ? Which shampoo you use 30 days after the operation, and why they try to sell you hair serum
You always mention that it is better get it done right the first time. Why do you then not recommend high amount of grafts the first time. My question is essentially, is it better to do two surgeries 2500 grafts + 2500 grafts, or 5000 grafts in the same surgery. Which one is the best and why?
Grafts can only survive outside the body for a few hours. So if you would do 5000 grafts it would take so long to implant them that a lot of them will die before they even end up in your head.
Doctor can use natural hair oil on transplant hair and when can I start?
Hi Dr. Gary,
My experience was that i havent had a single hair falling out after HT. Since day one after HT the hair was spreading and growing like unstoppable fire, hair is significant stronger and tougher.
But after 1 year I feel that my scalp is significant more sensitive to any sort of stress or pressure.
Its not bothersome, but I noticed it. Impl. grafts 3800 (crown&midscalp). Is it normal?
Maybe it depends on your lifestyle - eating habits, sleep, exercise, stress etc.
I haven't done HT but I lost my hair due to above issues.
Currently I am not having scalp burning issues much, I try to control above mentioned problems and apply oil to nourish my hair.
Congratulations for your moustache!
Hi Dr. Gary! Is it normal to feel drainage after a hair transplant? If so, how long should i feel drainage inside my skull before I see a doctor?
INSIDE your skull? If it's inside I would go to your doctor or at least call the nurses
I went to the same clinic as this guy in Sweden.They are great
