MY scabs came off just yesterday and it is amazing how well and quickly I recovered due to all the information from your videos, I hope I have even more positive success with my transformation under medical therapy as time goes on, thank you Dr. Linkov for creating this channel, you have settled my nerves so much via your content, keep it up!
I'm basically the same age and had almost the exactly the same hair loss as him. 4500 grafts took care of it two weeks ago, and I'm eager for my result. :)
I know your skill level is very very high regarding Hair restoration! So i just love the way you talk with respect about other clinics, even if its overseas. Other doctors should learn from that and one specific live podcast 👀
Loved this video, thank you so much Dr. Linkov, you are the best!! I got my hair transplant on July 3rd in Turkey. I started watching your videos this past April. I watched many of your videos several times. I have been watching and learning from all these videos every single day (before the surgery and after). Based on one of your videos, I died my hair (only donor area) after the third week, even though I was told not to dye it for six months, I am hoping that it won't be an issue. Please kindly advise if you have time.
Did you see in the news where a man was removed from an American Airlines flight because he had bleeding from a hair transplant?! I mean, how badly could he have been bleeding? Personally I think the airline overreacted and/or could have at least found a way to replace his dressings? I know they have first aid kits
Dr. Linkov, if you are in your 60’s and don’t expect much further hair loss, does it make sense to exceed 3000 grafts over one or two day sessions on your first hair transplant?
Thanks Doctor Linkov for this brilliant educational information. One of my friends got his hair done in Turkey and they removed hair from his beard and put it at the front. And after several months later. I don't think it was a good idea to put beard hair up the front cos it's all curly there and the back is straight as an arrow ➡
Dr. Gary, can you do a video on Dutasteride Mesotherapy, and rank it's effectiveness alone vs combined with another solution. Including the efficacy based on Norwood types and length/type of alopecia etc. CCCA or MPB? Also, how can I email to inquire about my condition and treatments I've taken?
If I was a man, seems like the best place to harvest would be the beard area near the neck or area where I would shave all the time anyway. This way you can be conservative and save the back of the head for the future. But perhaps the type or texture of this hair would grow differently? Well- if I waited patiently to the rest of your video at 16:09 you address this
He wears his donor hair a bit longer so FUT would have been a great option as well. Especially since there is full crown loss. Hopefully it works out for him.
I went local for my HT in Austin, TX only 10mins away from where I live. The office instructions and the information, including post-op care, I received from from my local clinic and from this channel by Dr. Linkov are why I had the best recovery. I considered the surgery after hours of watching Dr. Linkov’s videos. I had to use the ‘ol credit card and take the utilization hit, but I’ll eventually pay it off and raise my credit a bit lol. I’m 19 days post op, just waiting for growth :) I’m extremely happy and very addicted to this channel 😅😊
Crazy thwy talk about red light .. I use it everyday all night lol and my hair had been getting better , I do use shampoo for scalp stuff too and Costco minoxidil but not super consistent but red light for sure and my crown has been getting smaller in 42 now so from what it was I see a huge difference for sure
the problem with the phrase 'noticing hair loss' and then an age connected to that is that some people will notice it only if it gets really bad and some who are very aware of how their hhair looked, will ' notice' it much earlier. So the age that you notice it does not correspond automatically with the age that you experience it. Some guys are clearly notwood 2 and over and only seem to notice it then. Also, people with diffuse hair loss will likely ' notice it' later because its much less straight forward of all the hair is 20% thinner. However, if your hairline starts to move back and you comb your hair backwards each day, I can imagine a person " notices" it much earlier. The whole question when people started balding is such a subjective question too. Some people call the first stages of balding just getting ' a mature hairline' and with some that might be the case and with some it might not be. My hypothesis is that if your hairline becomes square it could mean 2 things - Your hair indeed fell out in the corners but it could also mean that as a man your head becomes more square in shape, which means that the scalp that is on it will stretch with that and if the bone undernearth your hairline becomes more square, then your hairline will be stretches' more square too without you losing any hair at all and it dos not in any way indicate your are on your way of baldng either. SOme people are called norwood 0 zero while ignoring their skulls shape. IF someone has a thin small dome, then their forehead will always be small. IT does not mean they are a norwood 0. If their forehead is big because their skulll is big, it does not mean they are a norwood 2 either. Too few doctors seem to think _deeply_ about such things and pretty much just repeat what 100 others have said before them without sufficiently understanding such things.
Why would a young guy like that need a hair transplant? It's kinda scary how good plastic surgery and all that kind of thing is, so you don't know what is real and what genetics will be passed onto your kids if you have kids with someone. I think everyone should disclose what they've had done before a relationship gets too serious.
Dr. Gary, I'm not sure if you've covered this, but how long do you suggest waiting between an intial surgery and then perhaps a second surgery to add density? Thanks!
I did it on July 3rd, I used Dr. Linkov as well as my brother's advice. I was there two days before the surgery then I stayed there a week after, everything was smooth, the three days after the surgery are very critical, just rest during those days, no flight, no nothing, just rest and eat properly, then stay three more days and rest more, then on the seventh day fly back. SO far so good for me, I can't wait to see the results!
Most clinical studies indicate that any negative effects resolve after discontinued use of the drug. Though permanent fertility issues is not entirely ruled out. Any concerns are linked to high doses or prolonged use. It's up to you to decide how much your hair means to you. Do you want to take a small risk to try and keep it?
Don't, your body still changes at that age, you can do a transplant and then end up with bald spot behind "new" hair, go on Fin/Min and only if situation worsens do it around 25 or later
My name is Omar I'm 49 years old and I have a full long hair both my parents still have hair and all the family there no bullying in the family however I love your video my brother thank you for the information God bless enjoy your rest of your summer
Hello sir, I still dont understand the difference between dhi and fue techniques. As your explanation, fue is a harvesting technique but dhi is implantation technique. So why all the clinics offers us these two options always? Why we have to choose? And if fue is a harvesting technique, why it has a different implantation style rather the dhi(Opening channels and implantation on 3rd step)? Or, if dhi is a implantation technique, how they do harvesting in dhi? With fue, or fut? Or any other technique?
Hey anyone reading this, i took finasteride for 2 weeks at 20 and 1 month years old 10 months ago today and got lower orgasm strength. 10 months later after quitting I made a topical 0.24mg a day and now i havent gotten any sides after 7 days of taking. Was i supposed to never take finasteride again or is this really the only logical way to keep using finasteride if i really want hair?
You can take bathroom breaks! I had my hair transplant about a month ago and I needed to stop to pee a few times during the day. They just cover up your head and it’s easy, you just walk your way down!
What I don't understand is if your hair is fallinging out from certain areas of your scalp (usually genetics), why doesn't the transplanted hair, once it "settles in and starts growing" also become affected by the genetic condition of that scalp area and fall out?
It is not the scalp that has the issue. It is the hair follicle itself that has the genetic issue. Such hair follicles just happen to grow together on that male hair loss pattern area for some reason. So the sides and back of the head hair follicles doesn’t have the genetic issue and will continue to grow without issues if transplanted to front or mid part of the head.
Some males have the hair follicles at the back of the head (at the end) genetically susceptible and lose hair there. If we transplant hairs from that area to the front it will also miniaturise and fall out eventually
They are different things. finasteride STOP further loss of hair. See it as a CURE for balding. Minoxidil is a hair GROWTH STIMULANT. Finasteride > minoxidil BUT Minoxidil is LESS « dangerous » than finasteride
i have a friend who i got to know more than 20 years ago, when we were 15 and i have NEVER seen him with hair. i dont even know when he lost it, but it was probably around age 13. and its not like he has 0 hair. he just got this old man hair loss, but as a young teenager. he has always had strong beard growth though.
Does one have ti take minoxidl or finasteride after hair transplantation to keeo the hair? Because your body will always produce DHT as you are genetically programmed?
My opinion is just one, but bald men are NOT unattractive. It’s pretty normal and a masculine trait. It’s a bit like maybe a chubby lady who is hyper feminine. It’s not considered “ideal” but many men think it’s quite attractive. I am a woman in her thirties so maybe that why. Just my thoughts.
That's not solving the problem. Your normal hair will continue to fall out without finasteride. And the transplanted hair is not guaranteed immune to DHT. So doing a hair transplant without taking medication is very risky.
@@Bakanellibullshit, not everyone keeps developing hair loss until they are Norwood 7, for a lot of people they simply stop at Norwood 3 or 4 and you won't need medication after you filled out these areas.
@@Fzero1453Absolutely right. Cannot understand those who put all those (dodgy) chemicals into themselves when with a simple transplant (or two in my case) you are set for life.
You take medication that prevents the balding from continuing farther once you have the surgery. If you wan't to prevent having to have this surgery in general then get on the medication before you get to later stages.
The temples? You fly to Istanbul for the cheapest flied and then tou have .... And a surgeon have to do he recovery operation in your own country.? Shame on him. Not you, Gary.
I’m 43 and some months ago started losing hair in the crown area rapidly, I new I was gonna be bald on the crown but I was expecting that to happen on my 50s as my grandpa and dad, I don’t know where to start I had been using minoxidil for the last 3 years but it looks like is not working anymore
So say in a few years the hair falls off.......does my head now look like a plucked chicken? Right now if I shave my head, it looks smooth ans sexy. Can't imagine going from an OK head to a chickenhead.

With all the side effects of Finesteride, do you recommend it to a younger person who still wants to build a family and have multiple children?
Only a small percentage of people experience side effects and if you want to have childen just stop using finasteride 3-6 months prior
Most clinical studies indicate that any negative effects resolve after discontinued use of the drug. Though permanent fertility issues is not entirely ruled out. Any concerns are linked to high doses or prolonged use. It's up to you to decide how much your hair means to you. Do you want to take a small risk to try and keep it?
I am 30 and have been on finasteride for 10 years. Having my first baby in 2 months 👍
