The content of this channel is for entertainment and educational purposes only. This content is not meant to provide any medical advice or treat any medical conditions. Patients must be evaluated by an appropriate healthcare provider on an individual basis and treatment must be tailored to meet that patient’s needs. Results and particular outcomes are not guaranteed.
Many viewers have suggested in the comments that Zach's result is at worst "terrible" and at best "underwhelming." Let me tell you that ultimately it doesn’t matter what you and I think. It’s about the patient being happy. The surgeon did nothing wrong. Could he have placed more grafts? Sure. But perhaps they mutually decided to go more conservative. As a hair surgeon, it’s about understanding what a patient wants and delivering on it. If both surgeon and patient are pleased that’s really all that matters in the end.
I think it looks objectively better now, than it did before he went for the procedure.
I agree with your comments at the end of your video too. It's all about everyone's individual needs.
Definitely, I think the best part about Zach's results is the confidence he has in himself again more then anything.
I agree that the result is good but I think that Zach is a little "too happy" about his current stage. He deludes himself by thinking that now "he has the power" and that "he can chooses the style". He should be aware that he is still not at a decent hairline and I hope that he will realizes that to undergo a second procedure he would be REALLY fulfilled with the results. That way he would really be back to the "out of the bed I can go down to the grocery store without overthinking in front of the mirror" life.
The people around him are not helping by only praising the results. The hairstylist is also very harmful by blatantly lying with the "You can rock my own hairstyle if you want from now on" crap. Real friends and real people wanting to help him regain "real" self-confidence would tell him "Great results! You look amazing. Just go a little further and you will reach perfection!". Of course if a second hair transplant is not a realistic possibility for him, then what I said is irrelevant and he can accept his current status with no regrets.
That is my point: Not satisfying with what you have when you can do better, and try until you have tried everything. Then you are really in peace with what you have.
Some are at peace with nothing done and some with a little done. Going for perfection isn’t the recipe to happiness.
@@waelo1011 How do you know it's fake happiness? Just because you don't like it and wouldn't be truly happy with it, doesn't mean he doesn't like it and isn't truly happy with it. People can have different standards for how they look.
For a plastic/transplant surgeon, you're really careful with how you speak about inherently subjective things -- y'know, what features are 'beautiful' or what a patient 'should' or 'shouldn't' do. Not every doctor posting this kind of content is so careful -- I really appreciate your approach
Yes, he is so pleasant and uplifting at the same time
I really try to respect my patients and other people who have had these types of surgeries since the topics are very emotionally charged.
I think he tries his best. But I’ve seen a couple of videos like the one reacting to a rhinoplasty where he was very subjective.
@@drgarylinkov could i take biotin with the finasteride and minoxidil ?? Love your videos by the way and your personality if i wasnt living so far away id definitly let u transplant my head your prob the onky person id trust u just really seem to kniw what your doing and what your talking about all my love brother from ireland👌🇮🇪
I think dr.Gary looks really good bald! Even without brows! I think it’s because he has a nice subtle brow ridge and his eyes aren’t too deep so they don’t really need to be framed.
I didn't even notice he had no brows holycrahp
his whole aesthetic and chill personality makes him attractive, no doubt 👌🏻
@@jessicagomez1760 I agree!
Only because he’s a doctor
Sauce
may i just say to Gary that you suit being bald. You kind or rock it. It suits your eyes, your job, your professionalism etc. So own it. you look like a boss.
I honestly feel bad for the men who are very young and lose the majority of the hair already. At that age most aren't financially well off to afford the surgery that's needed. There isn't much of a choice but to shave it off. For the ones that care about their hair, that's pretty heartbreaking.
Literally thats what happened to my husband. Hes 30 now but he lost almost allll his hair at only 17
I have super thick hair that I like to keep long, since this style has been a part of my identity and I absolutely do no look that good with short hair, the idea of going bald does scare me
Fuck man. That’s me. 19 and my hairline is receding quick and density is shrinking
@@pcfllms get on fin and minox
I'm 21, my hairline is safe rn but my crown n overall is slowly thinning and rapidly picked up. But slowed down again, I'm gonna start fin and minox + supplements, I'm lucky I'm starting rn, my hair is in good shape to bounce back
I can see some improvements. All he needs now is a good haircut. The comb over ages him.
Absolutely, this procedure paired with a barber who knows how to work with thin/fine hair would work perfect! Hes so used to having the combover from when he was balding that he's not adapted and it makes it look thinner still, shorter hair with maybe even a closer shave on the side would really suit him
His choice of glasses also ages him, they are awful.
@@nunder86 omg I agree so much
@@nunder86 yes and too big!
Zach actually has a really nice face, he's a handsome guy but the haircut definitely doesn't frame his face very well.
I've become accustomed to watching Gary's videos, they're just so informative and non-judgmental. Yo we gotta get him to a 100k stat
Thank you so much for the support! If you don't mind sharing my videos with others, that will definitely help us get to 100k faster!
@@drgarylinkov nah nah now we gonna get you to a million
I just want you to know that you have a really beautiful scalp shape and facial structure! The hairstyle suits you really well. Seriously! Like, even if you had hair, I think bald looks better.
Thanks!
If he had hair it’d be weirder and less comfortable bc his scalp would have a constant 5 o’clock shadow
The clean look he has right now looks so well balanced
how did this guy look so good with no eyebrows and no hair, shit's crazy
Well, he was probably well above average in looks before he lost his hair.
With a good bone structure, proportioned facial features and enough symmetry, you can pull the 0% hair look.
As it makes you look edgy, the points you lose in beauty you may win on sex appeal.
It’s the Patrick Stewart effect. Professor X vibe.
Ikr?! Like damn daddy, Mr clean brought the smoke today!
because he is an anime villain plot twist
I had a hair transplant surgery 2 years back. It was one of the best decisions I have taken. Before getting procedure done, for close to 3 years I used to hate taking photos because it reminded me of my hair loss. My confidence plummeted with my hair loss.
I feel you man im in this Situation Right now i find myself attractive but everytime i take a picture i see the hairline and im deleting the photo immediately thats why i have no photos posted on my social medias its so depressing..but i saved up the money to get a Hair transplant
@@DonquixoteRosinante97 same here. One photo=depressed as hell. I stopped going out. Well, I stopped living to be honest.
How much did it cost if I may ask?
@@TheLABound123 $15,000 on average in the USA and limited grafts. And no warranty, You go to Turkey unlimited grafts for $1500 up to $4000 to be honest, don’t do it in the USA, done some plastic surgery and most of it a scam just to get your money and tell you give it it’s healing. Many years pass and still healing, go to a reputable Turkey clinic . Get treated much better
16:38 I had to double take for a second I thought Dr. Gary's whole body was in frame hahaha
Same😂
😂😂😂
Bro 😂😂 i wonder if he caught that in editing
Bro me too i cant believe people acc saw that too
I think zach’s results look great. He didn’t start out with the thickest hair even before he started losing his hair. His hair looks great and naturel!!
Yeh agreed. Too much hate out there.
Convinced one of the reasons your channel has skyrocketed is cause you are just so damn likable.
It was so funny that the Dr. Gary said no chance, when zack asked if he could pull off the perm hahaha 17:01
Hahaha glad I'm not the only one who found that hilarious, savage Dr Gary
It was so honest haha
As somone who has bad receding hairline at the current age of 20 this really has encouraged me to do more research on the solutions for my hair once I become of proper age for the procedure. Hearing your professional opinion has been super helpful!
Awesome! I’m still outlining a non-surgical hair restoration video.
@@drgarylinkov please consider us women too, my hair is thinning and I would love to get more tips that are non-surgical
As a senior medical student looking to pursue a career in plastic surgery i want to thank you Dr. Gary for your professionalism and very informative content. Watching your unfiltered opinion on things has helped me vastly not just as a student but as someone who suffered from progressive androgenic alopecia since the age of 18. Thank you and i hope i can one day meet you in person and discuss the in and outs of the field.
Dr. Gary, you rock, telling it like it is. As a note the shorter your hair, the thicker it looks. Always keep your hair cut and styled. It makes a big difference.
Don’t ever loose that bedside manner:)
I was gonna say this. His patients must feel very comfortable with him. He’s exceptional
I think a big issue with Zach’s restoration and why people are having such a negative reaction to it is that the results video comes across like a really bad commercial. We see two incredibly attractive doctors with their trendy hairstyles in their medical space that they’ve designed to look like a spa created in an industrial, urban space. Zach continuously screams as if everything that’s happening is so exciting and cool. He acts as if the results are transformative to the point that he’s unrecognizable. He’s like, “No wayyyyyy! Whoaaaaa!” We, as the audience of this video, see a disconnect between how Zach is presenting the results vs. the actual results. We easily recognize that he doesn’t have a hairline like a 19 year old supermodel. And that’s okay! His hair is probably never going to be thick and full. If he feels great and likes the results, that’s what’s most important. But I think people would respond much differently if he presented his results less like he’s trying to sell us a medical procedure with these doctors and more like he simply had a personal procedure and is enjoying the results.
I think you hit the nail on the head. His video made me somewhat uncomfortable and I couldn't figure out why, and it's because it comes across as scripted and disingenuous, like an ad.
I'm sure Zach's feelings on it are real, it's just Buzzfeed coming in and milking it for all it's worth is overpowering.
@@Shadowdreamer4 They don't work for buzzfeed lol
Haven't for almost 5 years
@@powowbunnyb0081 Oh. Well, I guess the format they used for making videos kinda stuck with them.
I understand the thoughts and feeling that it sounds like a scripted ad. I invite you to view Try Guys videos or more appropriately, one of the podcasts. This is how Zach presents on camera. He is exuberant, enthusiastic and just extremely high energy.
In what I have seen of his scripted work, he shows more diversity in emotion and tone. This, however, is the Zach presented in videos and podcasts: Enthusiastic and absolutely effervescent!
Yeah if it isn’t an ad he’s just coping so he doesn’t feel like he got scammed lmao it’s legit still a comb over and a noticeable one at that
What I like most about you is your honesty. This is something really rare nowadays. And being honest is the only way to make your patients feel confident about the procedure they'll choose. Congrats!!!!
I just remembered when i was a kid i took clarinet classes and my usual teacher was this sweet woman and i think she got sick so her husband came in as a substitute teacher for a few weeks and it just clicked for me, he also had alopecia like you. Completely bald, not even hair shadow (?) and i found it so cool as a kid that he didn't have any lashes. No lashes give the eyes such a unique look.
Dr. Linkov is a life changer. Thank you for helping me make peace with my alter ego, plastic surgery dreams, and educating myself on realistic plastic surgery results. ❤️❤️❤️
The reason I started watching this channel in the first place is how stunning Dr. Gary is - I LOVE the no hair look, it's a real commitment and is indicative of confidence and a "give no effs" attitude. What a beautiful man. His face is perfectly symmetrical - I've never seen anything more perfect.
I don't fault this guy in the video for wanting to reverse his hair loss, but it really is a huge endeavor and has got to be insanely expensive. I hope he feels good about his result and feels good every day when he goes through his days. Every person has one or a few things that they feel self conscious about that no one else thinks is a big deal - so if doing this makes a difference for him, then that's great. I'm a fan of the bald headed few, just my personal preference.
If you stop at 16:38, Dr Gary's head blends into the other guy's body lol it looks like he's actually there in the room
Doc is looking good with his head shaved though, I think it suits him.
You look awesome and well, I guess it boosts the confidance of balding people to see a hair surgeon being bold. Even if it's not by option, I think it's still a reminder that it's an option and that people can look beautiful even without hair! You rock!!
Your videos are impeccable Doc! Carefully approached and thorough. Sitting with a swollen face and itchy head and you're getting me through. Many thanks to you
Dr. Gary your skin care is on point, you look great!
I always find it odd that people make such a big deal about other men getting hair transplants. They used to be really awful looking and men would end up with "pluggy" looking "doll hair". But, now it looks very natural. When most people see someone with huge gaps in their teeth or very crooked teeth, most will think"Why on earth did they not get that fixed?" So, how is hair thinning any different? I do not feel that any of us are the sum total of our outward appearance, however, a winning smile opens a lot of doors. So too does a full head of hair. Stating that a bunch of sexy male action movie stars look good bald is hardly a realistic comparison for most balding men. Confidence comes from many places, and hair is definitely one of them for most men. I think it's fantastic that the surgery has progressed so much and that it is a viable option for most men if they choose to do it.
Fully agree, there’s no reason to shame it, is being judgmental for the sake of it….
*sum
@@jojomakes Good eye! I fixed it. Thanks!
It's still very expensive if you wanna get a good surgeon. Balding hits young people the hardest and they are rarely well off to the point where they can afford surgery.
I went the clean shave look - and I really love it. I encourage anyone who's on the fence about surgery or medical to try shaving it once. It might surprise you like it did me!! Worse case scenario - it looks bad and your hair grows back.
I really enjoy your videos and your nuanced perspective!! Cheers.
I know this comment is old, but I did exactly the same thing and very strongly agree with your message. I've never even considered taking medication. My hair fell out so fast, one day during COVID lockdowns I shaved it all off and have never looked back. I personally think I look 300x better, as I always hated pictures and now I'm totally fine with them.
Something I always say is when I look at /r/bald is I've literally never seen a bad looking bald person. I wish there wasn't such a stigma about a "bad shaped" head, I don't believe in it at all!
You’re so humble doc - respect
1st time viewer. No pitch, no bs just straight smart talk. I like that. I just started the derma roller along with minoxidil. Crushed up some finasteride pills added water and applied that along with the minoxidil.
I really like the way you get into the patient’s psychological reactions. Nice.
Dr. Gary, you look very sharp and attractive with your shaved head.
Wish you were in Australia Dr Gary. You would be doing my procedure for sure. Feel like I could talk to you for ages. You are a special man.
My husband had androgenic alopecia starting in high school and is basically entirely bald on top, and he keeps the sides super short (abut mot 100% shaved). Obviously, it has had zero impact on his romantic life, or how much love his is worthy of giving or receiving. Honestly, I loved the fact that he just embraced his reality and was satisfied with the “how he is”. I wish every person who watches this and your videos in general has the same self love and acceptance. You all deserve it. For me. It’s about who he is, not how he looks. He’s a beautiful person, and hair has no impact on this, for me.
Really glad I stumbled across your vids. Been thinking about getting the procedure done. Will have to visit some time next year for a consultation when my PTO refreshes.
Sir I need you to drop your skincare routine you're glowing!
Agree w u Doc Gary! 👍😁 It takes time to accept yourself, life experiences, wisdom… no simple answers. ☺️
Such professionalism and non-biased care, you should definitely open a practice in London 🇬🇧
Thanks! Just come visit us in NYC!
Definitely an improvement! Best part is if he still isn't satisfied with the density, he can always have a second procedure that would address any such concerns.
I'll be honest, I clicked on the video by mistaking thinking it was from the original source but I stayed behind because of your speech and careful use of vocabulary/analysis. You're a beautifully spoken doctor, one can tell how much you care deeply about your status and patients. You'd make a great friend 👍
I think body positivity is not about accepting everything you have as it is. It is about knowing your body, making positive changes, being proactive about how you look and feel.
You treat your body as a canvas that you can work with, not a burden you stuck for life.
Thanks for another video!
Ultimately it is how a person feels that is the most important. I have always struggled with my weight so that is my achilles heel. I have to say Dr G that you are every bit as handsome in my opinion with or without your hair!
Hi Gary, thank you for these informative and interesting videos. Would it be possible for you do a video on Oral Minoxidil? There is quite a lot of mixed information out there, especially regarding the impact is has on the heart rate and whether it is a safe treatment to take. Cheers, Max.
I also love your look Doc!😁👍You look super clean and as a patient, I want my Dr. to be clean. Another reason why you wear your Alopecia well!☺️🥰 I think As far as Zac of @TheTryGuys…he looks so happy and I’m glad he shared his journey!😊
So funny how the video started with Zach talking about how he doesn't practice what he preaches, then the camera cuts to the doc, who TRULY lives out what Zach has been talking about. Not throwing any shade at Zach with this comment, just thought it was a funny transition. Almost like the doc cut into frame just to take Zach to school for a second lol.
We do change over time, so never say never. Do love yourself in a healthy way, take care so you can care for others and be kind.
Dr. Gary, they only make so many perfect heads in the world, the rest they cover with hair! Glad you rock the bald - looks great! Cheers.
Very interesting video, I've struggled with hair loss since I was 21. Now at 26 its very difficult to deal with after not addressing it back then. I hope I can take some action on it this year. Thanks for this wholesome content.
Hi Dr. Gary, I have been following you watching your videos particularly about hair loss stuff, but is it possible to discuss about PRP treatment? I’ve been doing this treatment for about two months but I am not how effective it is. The reason I am asking is you’ve always been honest and knowledgeable. To be honest if you were in the uk, I would come to your clinic :) 😃😃😄
Man, I love this doctor.
Dr.Gary you are handsome without hair! And you have a great personality.
Recent advances include follicle cloning which is successful in vitro; but it grows in weird directions and will be a while before it can be commercialized
I had a very stressful life in my childhood and adolescence. I was rapidly losing my hair by 17, and some of my hair went white too. I got on Finasteride and Minoxidil in my mid-20's which helped a lot, but dropped Minoxidil later because it's inconvenient. In my late 20's I got a hair transplant, and it's been a massive improvement on my life. Although you can still see that I'm balding a little, no one would call me the bald dude in the office anymore. I plan on getting a second hair transplant in the future so that I will present with almost no visible signs of balding at all.
Any side effects of finasteride? I am worried about mental sides and holding off.
Nothing wrong with being the bald dude in the office, really, dont worry you look fine either way. I believe most people increase their hair loss by stressing over it, the body hates stress and reacts to it in many ways imaginable and losing hair is one way. So the first step to go on about it: dont stress yourself over things that YOU cant control. Dont stress yourself over what OTHERS think. You're fine either way. Look at Gary, he is bald and i think he looks great. It's his charm and confidence and how you deal with it. Havent seen one negative comment regarding his Alopecia, because theres no such thing to make it into something negative, he looks fine and normal.
I like the results of sacks hair reconstruction. Congratulations to him!
i had one a year ago and the results are fantastic..and like most of us i will be having a second to get the results i desire..which he will need also..and they never say that..i dont think this result is fantastic or they would show us.. pull it back let us see..show us the hairline and the graph placement if your proud of the work and the result..let us see no double graphs in the front ..let us see the soft single graph artistry..even when he the doctor moves the hair he really doesnt show us.. no closeup of the hairline.we know his hair is thin and the density lacks..but these are not good selling points....i would not go to these guys. they are not being totally transparent.. and i kind of thinks he knows it..even the hairdresser didnt pull it back to let us see..this is a very tightly edited video..you need to know your surgeon is totally upfront with you..dont take advice from your hairdresser is the motto here ..and do your own research..thankyou for your videos they are informative and you are very gracious..
I'm new to your channel and today subscribed. I like what you have to say and am eager to go thru your older videos. Regarding your baldness: you look great; you wear it well. It does represent a loss, but I'm thinking it might be freeing too. My hair is pretty much gone and when I got tired of combing it over, I buzzed it off. I wish I had done this earlier.
Thanks for subscribing and for the kind words. It is freeing in some capacity.
Dr. Gary
Please do video on more in depth about the shedding phase after the transplant. I had a transplant not too long ago and it's Underwhelming when the hair that's been transplanted starts to fall out and the curiosity if the new route will push out the new hair.
i love your channel and your insight. i thought it was interesting that you mentioned documented depression after face lifts.
is there anything that links depression with surgery in general? i have an autoimmune disease too (behcets) and some other chronic illnesses, and each time i’ve had surgery i’ve felt weirdly down during recovery. i never thought to ask anyone about it.
I think he looks great! I’m happy for him :)
Another great one!
Let me just say what we're all thinking...Dr. Gary is fine af 🤌😍
🤗
You are obviously a woman of poor taste.
Love your videos. Im trying to decide if i should take medication, but i'm worried about side effects. Maybe i'll bite the bullet one of these days and come see you.
i think its a huge difference and a very natural result. what he has now is what he was trying to make the illusion of before with styling. maybe that's why people are thinking it's not a big change. but we all saw what his hair looked like when he wasnt styling it to hide the bald patches. that's the true before and this is the after. wonderfully done, i think.
I wonder if he can do another one to have that bit on the front fill-in? I had the tattoo thing done on the back of my head but I really want to have the proper transplant, add some to the front, apparently im a good candidate because I still got a lot of hair but would be nice to have my hair distributed more evenly so I can have a proper haircut or even keep very short again
Doc I love your channel. Fellow health professional here who also has hair loss. I loved your comment at the end mentioning that you would do the same if you were in his shoes. I have such an attachment to my hair and chemotherapy destroyed it. It's been an uphill battle/struggle alongside my mpb gene. People always want what they can't have, and your nature and ability to come to terms with your condition is commendable
Thanks brother!
Hey Doc, have you ever thought about SMP? I think it would look cool on you 🤟
My God I think you're still extremely intelligent and your choice of vocabulary is to stop shelf I can really relate to listening to you all day long just for the tone of your voice God bless you and keep up your videos you're fantastic thank you for sharing
I think that’s always a risk, going in to surgery and thinking and feeling that you are going to feel so much better and afterwards the surgery being a success and looks great but you still don’t feel good and keep looking for the surgery that’s going to fix you, and there just isn’t one!
Dr. Gary is lucky he's one of those people that look better bald.
Or if he looks worse he do it in such a cool way that he wins points on sex appeal.
Love your ethics !
Great video!
I keep on hearing you talk about medical therapy but doesn't seem to be explained through the 5 videos I watched. Is it taking Regaine, Derma rolling or what is it? Especially around Finasterid there seem to be a lot of horror side-effect stories - especially reduced drive/motivation.
Would also love to see a video on how to "properly" handle hair - there are many suggestions out there like the two above, or no-pillow, no helmets while skiing etc but nothing on what actually works.
We gotta get you on Lex Fridman. You guys would mesh incredibly well!
I just insta messaged him! We have a similar cultural background. Would be really cool. Let’s see what he says. Maybe also comment on his stuff that you would want to see me on his podcast!
The people who said it doesn't look good or it's thin, yes, that's because the scalp has a 'carrying capacity'. What he's achieved is that now he has a foothold of strong lifelong hair and a great permanent hairline. Nice job Dr. Rome et al. He could go on like that forever and people who meet him for the first time would never know he had a surgery. Now that things have healed he can go back and have a 'second coat of paint'. That's often what makes the results 'pop', just like well, a second coat of paint! Had they crammed in too many grafts initially, half would have died and he'd have the same result but spent more money and wasted valuable donor hair. He's doing all the right things and has received great advice I'd say.
You should do best hair transplant surgeons you recommend within Los Angeles, just because I know your only based out of N.Y
Zach looks great! God love him for baring it all...revealing 'this' in such a personal way. Great job, Drs. & robot! I wish him continued success with his hair journey. ❤️🤙🏼💕
Your personality is so freaking attractive....swoon 😍
Would you recommend people tackle these issue with psychological professionals/therapy before going the transplant route? How are the success rates there?
I don't plan on plastic surgery, but I paint and typically I go for models with unique features. I actually really appreciate how there's no ONE OBJECTIVE type of beauty, even when it comes to plastic surgery.
I have been balding since I was 16, when I was 19 it was so bad that my classmates were making fun of me and I finally started shaving my head on my 23th brithday. It has been a year and I am just torn to be honest. On one hand I don't mind it that much, but on the other I feel like I am missing out. I don't know what it's like to have different hairstyles and things...I am norwood 3.5, no problems with the crown but bays in my forelock are huge...
I have been taking finasteride for 2 months and I am considering a hair transplant...but I feel like I would need around 4000 grafts to make my hair look good. Also I have a huge forehead...actually I even stay a little bit overweight just because my head would look ridiculous if I had a strong jawline...I would look like megahead...
I'm 24, and I lost majority of my hair on top of my head, hair loss started when I was 15/16, and fit the last 6 years I've been shaving my head, and I rarely got insecure about my hair.
I think it really depends on many factors, not just the hair. If you are otherwise a tall, well built guy, chances are, a bald head will suit you well and you are likely going to realize that you actually look good bald. But Zack is short and skinny and not even remotely muscular, so he is very likely already having a hard time to accept his looks. Add a balding head on top and you can see why he is/ was so unhappy.
It's still better than before, and he most likely expensed it so it's a win win
Love your videos!
Thank you! Don't forget to subscribe ;)
I am officially the hat guy. I couldn’t go through with it. The amount of up keep you must go through to keep it going I think is more anxiety filled than the discerning feeling of knowing your bald.
I have a lot of hair, very dense, but it's also fairly thin. I have always had a widows peak hair line with spots on each side that are full of tiny short hairs. It's always been that way, but I wonder if they'll ever recede.
I think baldness suits you tbh, it makes you stand out and have a very unique and memorable look as well, I've seen pictures of you with your hair and still think you look nicer bald 😊
I have alopecia, and as a female it really affected me at first because my hair was almost a part of my identity. Thankfully my hair grew back and I haven't had any crazy big bald patches since and can usually manage with the styling of my hair etc, but have mad respect for those who choose to own it by shaving it all off 😊
Great video my guy 👍
Greetings Dr Gary love your videos, a fellow doctor here, I had a question have you seen videos from the Hair Loss Show? they do recommend taking Finasteride on alternate days 30 and minoxidil once daily I have been on the regime minoxidil daily but missed few doses of finasteride my question being I have seen improvement but do you think ill further experience hair thinning being on same regime? I would to keep what I have
Great video❣️
Wow... another great video.. thanks
16:38 is funny timing as your shirt matches the guy standing so it looks like your head on his body.
Dr Gary - You have a beautiful, clean looking face and a great head shape - your baldness suits you and takes nothing away from how handsome you are. You are an attractive, charismatic man and having hair would not change that. Your comments about having a hair transplant made me feel a bit sad - you are a totally gorgeous looking man.
I have a question, this is the back story:
Im 19 years old. I saw that my hair is reciding (like norwood scale number 2-3, the tempels) and i know that they are not wisdowms peek because i know how my fathers hair is. I went to a dermatologist 5 days ago and they gave me minoxodil, a dht blocker shampoo and a multi vitamin type thing which will help to secure my hair. I rejected the pills because of the libido loss thing (didnt wanted to have a very strict medication precision in this age acctualy).
My question:
In my search, i found out that after age of 35-39 dht levels decrease. So if i use dht blocker shampoo and minoxodil till 45 or something, will my "minoxil protected hair" become my "normal strong hair" after some age?
Could the "lacklustre" results people say be due to the surgery or more Zachs hair quality or somewhat both ?
He had both severe recession and fine hair and these surgeries don't typically aim to give you back your teen hairline as that can end up looking unnatural so it's not due to a bad surgery or anything. Also many celebrities who you see get this have gotten more than one surgery so it's usually not a one and done fix you many times have to go back a second maybe even third time especially with hair like Zach's. The result was actually pretty good. Anyone who says otherwise either thinks surgeries are some magical fix for everyone or they forgot just how thin Zach's hair had gotten
@@bambi7563 Agreed! Posting a pinned comment shortly to this effect.
It's awesome that he feels better and that he has more confidence following the procedure. Unfortunately, the result is subtle at best. He looks like a guy that is very obviously, prematurely thinning/balding. The Doctors and patient both did really well. I'm commenting only on the result itself.
He looks amazing and it's great to see the big smile on his face
My suggestion, and I forgot where I heard it originally, is that if you suspect you are going to have a receding hairline, pick some time while you're young to just shave it all off. From then on, you will know what you look like bald, and can go back to it if you would rather choose a bald look over hair transplants.
I did this for St Patrick's Day back in 2019. I got a lot of compliments. I think having the beard helps, because a lot of people said I looked like a badass or an action hero.
But I feel like you should know exactly what you will look like bald, because once you go with transplants, there's kinda no going back. If you try the bald look again, there will be noticeable scarring. So you will basically have to continue keeping up with the hair loss for the rest of your life. You'll want to know exactly what you would look like bald before you give it up as an option.
After I did mine, I'm pretty confident I'd rather just shave my head if the recession looks bad enough. Having picture to look back on gives a nice A/B comparison to see at what point bald looks better than receding.
Since I have thicker hair, does it stand to reason that my hair transplant surgery will turn out a lot better than someone with thinner hair? Also, should I try nonsurgical first?
