Feel so sad that Gary has to disclose his condition each video. From his videos, he seems to be the best in the business. I would be lucky to visit his surgery one day!
I know I’m almost 60 and need my eye lift. I have to use an entire bottle of botox now! I wish I could to go to him. I’m in Arizona. My plastics guy is more worried about a psychological clearance and my signature on an arbitration agreement than educating me on any procedure. I’m an nurse practitioner if you educate me I understand and can be more aware on results and needed self care.
Dr. Linkov I've seen similar sentiments shared by many others in the comments but I wanted to throw my name into the pile. When I first saw a video from you and did not know you had alopecia I figured your lack of hair was an intentional choice and thought it was a really cool look on you! I don't know where you are on your journey of accepting your "new look" but if the opinion of a stranger on the internet means anything, I think you totally pull it off and are still a very handsome man! The irony that you're a hair transplant doctor is really something though lol. Thank you for sharing your expertise, it's evident that you are a good doctor with integrity-so important for a PS to have. I enjoy your videos and will continue to watch.
@@drgarylinkov same first I truly thought this is a look that you have chosen to carry, later on I came to know about your condition. TBH you look handsome in this look really attractive if am being completely honest. :)
@@drgarylinkov so Doc I’ll also post in the general comments but: you can’t have ANY blood thinning foods like garlic, cayenne and even alcohol like you said earlier 48-72 hours before the hair restoration procedure just to be safe right?
I also agree that Dr Linkov doesnt care about the money. I also think that he cares a great deal about his patients. But I would say, part of that is the feeling that he does *not* care about a lot of things. Hes just the Surgeon. You want Plastic Surgery? "Sure go ahead, well schedule you". I dont know if i want filler, im quite young: "If you dont want to we dont have to, i dont care". Its like talking with an actual doctor instead of a salesman for therapy and surgery.
Ok. I have watched other surgeon’s UA-cams. But, I love the dignity and honesty of these videos the most. Doc def deserves more viewers. I’ve unfollowed doctors who have millions of followers because of their insensitivity. I (obviously) really love this channel ❤️
If I were having hair transplant surgery, I'd definitely come to you, because you take your craft (and art) very seriously and you have a sense of humor, both very important in a successful outcome.
Actually, if a lot of people watching your videos are not subscribed, that's a good thing. That means the algorithm recommends you a lot :) Subscribers count for nothing anyway, except for that youtube silver-ish sign at 100k. "Like and comment", that's what you need to tell your viewers to do. Likes and comments are the ones that will bring you more viewers on your videos.
@UA-cam Guy Completely agree, subscriber count definitely does have its place even though it doesn't directly get you more views. You ideally want all three. Likes, comments and subscribers.
Wow, I just was talking to my wife after I saw your video, my bald spots growing , and I'm looking to see what options I have. Didn't expect to see you here, I watch your videos everyday while commuting, thanks bro.
We're so excited to see professionals talking about such a big thing in human nature like hair loss is, especially because of all the challenges misinformation about it can present to people. Keep up the good work, I'm sure our community really needs this type of content and the spreading of it.
Probably smart to have a disclaimer about your own hair loss, although you'd expect it to be obvious that just because you're a hair surgeon doesn't mean you qualify for or even want hair surgery for yourself.
Makes sense. I don't know a single radiologist and I've asked over 100 that got laser vision correction surgery as a resident or staff radiologist. Very good reason for that :)
You really don't have to have hair to do a good job on other people's hair yet here we are having people make ridiculous comments about this dudes hair. Don't know how his own hair affects how he works with that of other people at all. I mean we don't expect any other surgeons to have all surgeries done they perform to believe them that they can perform them themselves.
Thank you so much for sharing this reaction. I feel you genuinely care about putting valuable and clear information out there for others that might be facing hair loss and have doubts about procedures.
As always, you’ve provided much needed information. Anyone who makes fun of your hair loss, is sick. You had a full head of hair until the alopecia kicked in. I have no idea who this Zane guy is, though I’ve never seen someone act like this before and after surgery.
Leaving a nasty comment for Dr.Gary about being bald? Then take that energy and go leave a nasty comment on a male plastic surgeons page who performs breast augmentation yet doesn’t have breast implants.
Bro! I can feel your tiny bit of sadness about your condition in regards to your hair! And I feel for you! I just wanted to say you have a great face and a very kind and warm look and personality and I love your channel! Some people may need hair to look and portray their best, but you certainly don’t! I didn’t even know I was interested in this kind of a channel, but I just keep on clicking on your videos, and your face and warm personality is one of the main reasons! Love you and your channel! No homo 😘 All the best wishes from Norway 🇳🇴💪🏼😁
I figured the disclaimer in the opening segments was from idiots making dumb comments. Man, you’re good! Don’t let any comments get to you or feel like you have to explain your situation. Becoming a physician is super difficult and you’re a practicing physician. You don’t owe any of the haters a response. Let them hate and say their dumb comments. End of the day they’re nos toilette not doing anything productive with their lives
I really enjoy your clear-minded explanations. You are genuinely happy for the patients undergoing these procedures while being honest on patient responsibility.
I could listen to you speak about all of these procedures for hours. Just so interesting. Thanks for the easy to understand education! I wen5 to my ENT yesterday, and I felt like it was a waste of time to tell me the can’t do much for tinnitus. Whole visit lasted less than five minutes. Ugh.
26:13 yes i agree with that, i got an FUE beard transplant around 4 days ago and i was a bit scared so i just filled some gaps of my beard using ~1500 grafts but when i saw the results it looked unnatural having such density shaped like that and i have to do another one which i can get hopefully in a few weeks from now to improve the shape. by the way, i got some lotion and shampoo for my beard and back of my head but i didn't get the ATP spray. they used a lot of this spray during the surgery though. The surgery was done by a turkish clinic in my neighbour hometown in germany
FUT hairs are located in the sweet spot. The most dht resistant hairs on the head. FUE doesn't offer that benefit. Both are great procedures however. It depends on an individual's needs.
Can you do a video talking about bullying with alopecia areata I had it when I was 15 and even though my hair is back the bullying left some permanent damage
I think your unique hair situation makes you more empathetic to your clients emotional needs and well being. You’re my only choice for surgery when that day comes
You seem genuine. I have watched several of your videos and they are all informative. You earned my sub brother. Thank you for helping us all out in more ways than you probably realize.
when i started to loose hair i noticed that the hairstyle is very important too, allways keep your sides shorter then the top part, and dont grow long bangs cause the quality of hair is different , usually its looks very different in texture compared to a healthy hairs on the sides. Now im completely bold and im ok with it , the only sad thing is that i loved to have options :D
I have watched some of your older videos (recently) where you still had hair and also your Alopecia journey, I subscribed semi-recently so I wasn't used to seeing you with hair. It's interesting that my brain associates your current look as the default and the head full of hair look as foreign.
You should make a reaction video too that Ollie London guy… its hot right now. Videos are getting over a mil views. Would be nice to hear your point of view as well.
Gary I really enjoy your channel Your outstanding in your craft You do great explanations that relieve and dispel so many myths especially for younger patients I really wish I could have had a hair transplant when I was much younger I feel I can trust your sense of aesthetics to do what’s right for each patient. Bravo 👏
I have binged your channel since I found it, love your content. I started finasteride almost a year ago because I noticed some heavy recession and it's pretty much stopped my hair loss, it's great that there's people like you to raise awareness and break the stigma on hair loss and provide educational content.
Dr Gary is the best ! I too have an Autoimmune Condition . We can definitely suffer behind the scenes .. love your channel ! Hope to make it to NY to be a patient ! Introduced from Lori Hill to this channel
I thought no hair was your look of choice. I think you look really handsome, definitely wouldn’t change it, I of course understand loosing your hair not by choice isn’t ideal, yet you could have easily done it by choice to bring out you very well proportioned face. Wouldn’t change a thing, still you do what makes you feel best of course 🌟
Very educational and good info for someone interested in getting a transplant. If his hair thinned considerably, would medication like Finasteride still work? Think I heard from another channel that once it's 50% or less in diameter, the hair is doomed even with medication. Truth to that? Thanks for the easy to watch videos. Subscribed!
Dr. I commend you so much for doing hair graft videos, and so well and so thoughtfully!!! I love your channel! Thank you for helping so many people and for being so honest and helpful!!!
I just turned 38 and realized recently that my hair is thinning on top, after looking at pics of when I was in my mid 20's and had really thick hair. It really bothers me. I was a college football athlete and have maintained my physique to exactly the same as it was 15+ years ago, but this feels out of my control. I've always styled my hair and taken pride in it, and now it's thinned out a lot. Mainly just on top, sides and back are still really thick. I don't know that a transplant would be good for me, but maybe I should do a finasteride + minoxidil regimen?
You can try it but few get results they truly want. The vast majority of people it only stalls out the loss and doesn't regrow any. I did both for 2 years and again it never improved. Transplants are the best choice overall. If you want something less extreme looking into a hair system.
@@bongchoof yea they do. Back in Dec-Jan, I decided to try finasteride 3mg /week. 6 weeks in Mid January I developed side effects (anxiety and loss of libido). I stopped taking it Jan 28th. However, today I still have anxiety issues, which I've never had before taking this. Libido comes and goes. I figured there was no harm in at least trying it and thought I stopped early enough to not have lasting effects, but so far I'm still struggling, though things are a lot better than they were in February. It's pretty much ruined all of 2022 for me. I have a new doctor now and she said she will not prescribe this for hairloss due to these issues. Wish I'd had her at the time I tried it. I still expect to eventually get back to my old self, but damn, if anyone is reading this, it's simply not worth the risk.
@@trevorthiessen6317 Wish I had got to you sooner man. I can't believe they sell that shit. Did you know it can actually shrink your diddle? Sure can. Permanently. And the men are depressed enough from the hair loss plus the devil drug. Glad you stopped. I think instead of selling hair growth products we should be selling self-esteem for men who are losing their hair. That's not an attack. I think it's shitty how men feel about this kind of stuff. I hope you get better man. Tell anyone you know who might be thinking about treatment for hair loss to stay AWAY!
@@bongchoof thanks, luckily I didn't get any of the physical side effects other than a brief period (3wks) of intermittent ED. The worst has been the anxiety and shit libido. I'm telling everyone my experience because I should have been a perfect candidate, so you just never know who it's going to affect badly. Not worth the risk. My new doctor said she won't ever prescribe the stuff due to having too many patients with poor reactions.
Please pay no attention to the hate comments. They are from people who clearly do not watch and educate themselves from your videos! Otherwise they would realise the comments they are making are illogical.
What is your thought process behind using the 3-0 and 4-0 prolene to close the FUT incision? I'm more familiar with neurosurgery where I've seen 2-0 vicryl to close deep and 3-0 running nylon on the skin. Of course you aren't going to bone.. Looking for a different perspective on these closures. Thank you for the great videos.
I don't want to comment anything doctor just want to say to say God bless you, I have had telogen effilum almost 9 months ago but not fully recovered, doctor prescribed me for minoxidil but that is steoridal minoxidil name is hairmax forte, I am scared to apply since it has steoride. What should I do? Doctor said recovering from telogen effilum automatically will take you years and if you want early then you can take over the counter medicine like minoxidil. What do you suggest? I didn't lose hair but hair was thinned out and doctor said they are prolonged in telogen phase so you feel like less hair and diffuse hair loss.
@Gary So I am on 2 hair regrowth medications, Keeps and Revival after 3-6 months if I see no results would you recommend a hair transplant and if so would you recommend shaving your whole head and getting the density to cover your whole head to disregard getting bald?
Thank you for the aquapuncture needles with a loop for young hair follicle.Needles are not very expensive .Chinese magazines are full of millions of customers after cure .It takes few hours to cure baldness .Eyebrows shape is made also .
Great informative videos Gary. I just had my FUE done for the restoration of the temples and hairline. What is your take on Pantostin or topical anti androgens like topical Dustasteride or topical Finasteride for maintaining native hair?
I've had extreme long hair for few years now. Now I'm bald as yi donated it in solidarity to a family member that went through the worst. To be honest, as much as I liked my hair, I don't really think that it's such a difference for me as I look good both ways, but I haven't yet got reaction from strangers about a bald head.
Your body naturally creates DHT, some people are more sensitive to it than others, finasteride inhibits DHT production by 70% so it helps to keep your hair
I have a question Dr, with singular follicle hair transplants, do the hair follicles taken from the donor areas grow back over time once extracted? Thanks.
Hi 👋Gary, thanks 🙏 for all your videos which are very informative l, need one ☝🏾 say any more than that - other than, keep up the good work in increasing your viewers recommended.
this is crazy. On your channel I see people that have better hairs than I ever had (maybe as a kid I had more, but my whole adulthood was kind of "he just don't have that much hair") and they go for transplant, only because they have those "temples" a bit exposed :] I not only had my "temples" exposed since as long as I remember - but also most of my other hair was simply thin and weak, so I just didn't pay attention to it that much. The dermatologist told me once "I have it too and I don't care, I will just go for transplant when it stabilizes"... and it somehow stayed with me, until now my forehead basically goes back untill upper neck :P And it's kind of refreshing. I just shave my head, and don't care that much about anything - washing my hairs, visiting a barber, checking if they look nice etc. No need to wait until they dry after swimming. NO PROBLEM. Why would I need a transplant?
My favorite crafting UA-camr, NerdECrafter, reviews craft kits, she ordered a medical stitch learning kit!! You have to review it- it’s hilarious 😂❤️🔥 please Dr. Gary! 🙏
1st off thank you so much for these informative videos and your honesty. 2nd, with your condition and the fact that you still help people who want that full head of hair speaks so much about you as a person. 3rd, YOUR GORGEOUS!!! I know u felt down about losing your hair and I don't know what u looked like with a full head of hair but your bald head shape and all is gorgeous and I thank u for embracing it! keep the videos coming and informing people of the pros n cons of elective services. 🤎 from nashvile. God bless you Dr.G 😊
Just started watching your videos very informative I'm turning 32 and thinking about It. I might wait till 35. Currently I'm on medical therapy and your videos has been a great help. My hair is actually in a better start when I compare it to being 25 from minoxidil and finasteride. Keep up the great videos and thanks for informing us. If you can help yourself help others. And this is the perfect way to describe you. God bless you and keep and up the great work

I figured there was no harm in at least trying it and thought I stopped early enough to not have lasting effects, but so far I'm still struggling, though things are a lot better than they were in February. It's pretty much ruined all of 2022 for me. I have a new doctor now and she said she will not prescribe this for hairloss due to these issues. Wish I'd had her at the time I tried it. I still expect to eventually get back to my old self, but damn, if anyone is reading this, it's simply not worth the risk.
@@trevorthiessen6317 Wish I had got to you sooner man. I can't believe they sell that shit. Did you know it can actually shrink your diddle? Sure can. Permanently. And the men are depressed enough from the hair loss plus the devil drug. Glad you stopped. I think instead of selling hair growth products we should be selling self-esteem for men who are losing their hair. That's not an attack. I think it's shitty how men feel about this kind of stuff. I hope you get better man. Tell anyone you know who might be thinking about treatment for hair loss to stay AWAY!
@@bongchoof thanks, luckily I didn't get any of the physical side effects other than a brief period (3wks) of intermittent ED. The worst has been the anxiety and shit libido. I'm telling everyone my experience because I should have been a perfect candidate, so you just never know who it's going to affect badly. Not worth the risk. My new doctor said she won't ever prescribe the stuff due to having too many patients with poor reactions.
Hi Doc: have you ever done vids on hair transplant from Turkey?
Please pay no attention to the hate comments. They are from people who clearly do not watch and educate themselves from your videos! Otherwise they would realise the comments they are making are illogical.
What is your thought process behind using the 3-0 and 4-0 prolene to close the FUT incision? I'm more familiar with neurosurgery where I've seen 2-0 vicryl to close deep and 3-0 running nylon on the skin. Of course you aren't going to bone.. Looking for a different perspective on these closures. Thank you for the great videos.
Deep sutures are thought to potentially harm hair follicles. In reality it doesn’t matter too much. I use prolene on skin as a single layer.
I don't want to comment anything doctor just want to say to say God bless you, I have had telogen effilum almost 9 months ago but not fully recovered, doctor prescribed me for minoxidil but that is steoridal minoxidil name is hairmax forte, I am scared to apply since it has steoride. What should I do? Doctor said recovering from telogen effilum automatically will take you years and if you want early then you can take over the counter medicine like minoxidil. What do you suggest? I didn't lose hair but hair was thinned out and doctor said they are prolonged in telogen phase so you feel like less hair and diffuse hair loss.
@Gary So I am on 2 hair regrowth medications, Keeps and Revival after 3-6 months if I see no results would you recommend a hair transplant and if so would you recommend shaving your whole head and getting the density to cover your whole head to disregard getting bald?
Thank you for the aquapuncture needles with a loop for young hair follicle.Needles are not very expensive .Chinese magazines are full of millions of customers after cure .It takes few hours to cure baldness .Eyebrows shape is made also .
Would love something similar but for female FUT procedures (vs fue). addressing shock loss
I have a stupid question, can't one (a male) use hairs from under the arms since some men don't grow their hair long, for the scalp?
I enjoy your videos and the knowledge they provide. Your voice is very calming too
Great informative videos Gary. I just had my FUE done for the restoration of the temples and hairline. What is your take on Pantostin or topical anti androgens like topical Dustasteride or topical Finasteride for maintaining native hair?
Great videos Doc! Thanks!
Dear, thank you for the very well informative videos. A question, what about the use of sauna after the FUE? Thanks
Hi! Can I ask you, what is the best clinics/surgeons in hairtransplant in the World?
Competlely opposite of hair transplants but for women have hirtuism or PCOS would it be possible skin graft permanent hair removal?
does FUT help reduce forehead wrinkles?
Thanks
I've had extreme long hair for few years now. Now I'm bald as yi donated it in solidarity to a family member that went through the worst. To be honest, as much as I liked my hair, I don't really think that it's such a difference for me as I look good both ways, but I haven't yet got reaction from strangers about a bald head.
Dr. Gary, do you know of any hair restoration surgeons in the San Diego area who are reputable in your opinion?
Do you prescribe finasteride/propecia to patients after a hair transplant?
Dr. Gary I love your reaction videos, more please
Thanks! And thanks for the thoughtful commentaries on the vids 🤙
i love this channel, I learn a lot and appreciate my hair more from it. thanks.
Hey Dr. Gary, how soon should patients start Medical therapy post hair transplant?
I'm a dentist. Is it normal to use dental syringe and lidocaine carpules?
Dude I love your videos!
in what condition should i shave fully for transplant? can i have FUT without shaving all my hair?
great video covering this. What actually causes the DHT testosterone? are there things you can do to minimise it? Thanks.
Your body naturally creates DHT, some people are more sensitive to it than others, finasteride inhibits DHT production by 70% so it helps to keep your hair
@@woodenfishes Thanks. Do you have to get that from a doctor or can I get it on Amazon or something?
@@markwaldonjohnson you need to see a doctor and get a prescription
@@woodenfishes ok thanks.
hey, doc, how long are hair follicles stay dormant after they fall out? before they can no longer regrow?
I have a question Dr, with singular follicle hair transplants, do the hair follicles taken from the donor areas grow back over time once extracted? Thanks.
yo Doc, what do you think about hair transplant in Turkey ? is it any good ?
Hi 👋Gary, thanks 🙏 for all your videos which are very informative l, need one ☝🏾 say any more than that - other than, keep up the good work in increasing your viewers recommended.
Hey Gary I’m in my 20 I’ve been losing my hair idk what im diagnosed with I’ll like some tips
If you get an eyebrow transplant do you have to cut your eyebrow hairs to keep them short?
lmao good but funny question. I would like to know the answer as well. I'm picturing long eyebrows that cover the eyes.
Yes!
@@gnomiehomie5368 I have one eyebrow hair that keeps growing longer than the other ones so I'm partially living that lifestyle anyway 🤪
Hi Gary, is 27 too young for a HT if i have been on fin for 5+years. I am also on TRT 80mg/w from a teen for medical condition. thanks
So.... for eyebrow transplant.. do they have to trim their eyebrows?
Yep. Regular maintenance is required.
Thanks for the videos bro! I appreciate your insight
Do you have to wash your hair, or is it okay to wait like a month or is that too long?
this is crazy. On your channel I see people that have better hairs than I ever had (maybe as a kid I had more, but my whole adulthood was kind of "he just don't have that much hair") and they go for transplant, only because they have those "temples" a bit exposed :]
I not only had my "temples" exposed since as long as I remember - but also most of my other hair was simply thin and weak, so I just didn't pay attention to it that much. The dermatologist told me once "I have it too and I don't care, I will just go for transplant when it stabilizes"... and it somehow stayed with me, until now my forehead basically goes back untill upper neck :P
And it's kind of refreshing. I just shave my head, and don't care that much about anything - washing my hairs, visiting a barber, checking if they look nice etc. No need to wait until they dry after swimming. NO PROBLEM. Why would I need a transplant?
My favorite crafting UA-camr, NerdECrafter, reviews craft kits, she ordered a medical stitch learning kit!! You have to review it- it’s hilarious 😂❤️🔥 please Dr. Gary! 🙏
Will check it out!! Thanks for the idea.
Checked it out. Definitely adding to the list! And prioritizing! We are also reaching out to her for a potential collaboration in the future.
@@drgarylinkov I’m so happy you saw and acknowledged my comment!!! I absolutely love your videos and can’t wait to see what you come up with!! ❤️❤️❤️
Can you do a video covering the different hair loss pharmaceuticals such as topical finasteride, dutasteride and RU58841
A minoxidil video is dropping soon. We have many others to film.
1st off thank you so much for these informative videos and your honesty. 2nd, with your condition and the fact that you still help people who want that full head of hair speaks so much about you as a person. 3rd, YOUR GORGEOUS!!!
I know u felt down about losing your hair and I don't know what u looked like with a full head of hair but your bald head shape and all is gorgeous and I thank u for embracing it! keep the videos coming and informing people of the pros n cons of elective services. 🤎 from nashvile. God bless you Dr.G 😊
Hi doc was just wondering will minoxdil work on me again? I used it back year's ago and stopped and now using it again is it ok or should I stop..?
Minox video will be out in a few days
Great explanation! How long do you have to wait after the procedure to go back to normal sport at sports like wrestling or jujitsu?
Just started watching your videos very informative I'm turning 32 and thinking about It. I might wait till 35. Currently I'm on medical therapy and your videos has been a great help. My hair is actually in a better start when I compare it to being 25 from minoxidil and finasteride. Keep up the great videos and thanks for informing us. If you can help yourself help others. And this is the perfect way to describe you. God bless you and keep and up the great work
What do u think about the irestore laser helmet?
Have you got a clinic in the U.K.?
is it possible to transplant leg hair to eyebrows?
It is possible but the results are not as predictable as using scalp hair.
