Surgeon Reacts to Elon Musk's Hair Transplant and talks about the advantages and disadvantages of doing FUT compared to FUE hair transplant procedure. Elon Musk's hair has gone through many changes throughout the years, and Dr. Gary Linkov estimates that this is mostly due to Elon Musk undergoing two FUT hair transplant procedures.

Confession: I was gonna drop a comment about Dr. Linkov needing to do his own hair transplant, but then he explained his condition and i punched myself out of shame, and reminded myself to do better as a person.
Hahah thanks for your honesty
🤜🤛 do that with everything you do in life. Happiness will follow.
But why would you say that anyway?
He wasn't blasting the process, in fact he complimented it. Some guys like the bald look, so really that was two judgments, not just one. :p
But yeah, him saying that got me in the stomach two. >.
thats fair. Its a low effort joke, but id be lying if I didnt get a slight bit of humor out of the irony. Having a condition might make you feel like a jerk, but just remember, we are all just people.
I once told a guy who was being rude to me, "if you are gonna insult me at least look me in the eye when you say it" ... turned out he was blind and paralyzed in that eye. I felt like a dick for a second, until I remembered he had insulted me.
Good!!!
I know you alopecia journey might have been something that initially sucked for you, but to be honest you look so good with the shaved head and no eyebrows. It really enhances everything on your face in a very attractive way, I love it
I agree, it adds to his very charismatic looks. I still wish him good health in general, since alopecia is not only an aesthetic thing, I believe.
His nose is beautiful
i didnt even realize he had no eyebrows unitl you said it.. might be due to the glasses tho.
I agree too...looks amazing... really cool!
I completely agree!
Elon has one of the best, if not the best looking transplants I've seen. It's so natural and makes it able to do all kinds of wacky hairdo's without looking weird.
Yeah - I agree. But he is a horrible person. A con/rip-off artist, and a carpet bagging thief. Only in America do we fall for this type of grifter.
Minus the scars but yea
I'm not interested in plastic surgery or any treatments for myself, but here I am, enjoying hair transplant vids because of how humble and sincere you are, Doc. You have a real warmth to you that I imagine would draw a lot of potential clients to you (heck, if I ever need or want surgery, I hope my surgeon is like you!). Great sense of humour too.
Same here, and now I keep getting ads for hair loss I guess it’s convenient if I do end up losing it lol.
Dr. Linkov, I feel bad that you need to address your condition all the time. You look great with or without hair, and even if you were in a position to get surgery, it’s always the patient’s personal choice. So it shouldn’t matter what your profession is. I think it just speaks to people’s skepticism around the efficacy of hair transplants. They look at the fact that you haven’t done it and automatically assume it’s because you know something that we don’t.
Thanks for your kindness!
Yep. Good looking man with or without hair!
Agreed, my comments mirror what you say. I just hate people sometimes. What a stupid, cruel, and unneeded thought or comment people feel they must make. Thank you for your thoughtful remarks.
He has lost his hair because of a autoimmun issue you smarties :DDD
A transplant is useless because his immune system will attack those hairs anyways
Yes. And you are simply a strikingly beautiful man Dr. Linkov.
He has to get transplants or else he'll go bald and bezos will sue him again
Whoa didn't expect to see you here lol
bezos would sue him just for the fun of it
🤣
again LOL
Snek
I like your videos. You don't judge or criticize (unless the work is bad). You evaluate based on your expertise and evidence and explain the procedures. Great for people wondering about getting work done. As for the rest of us, what can I say, humans are curious and nosy!!
Cool channel and videos! Found you from the Tom Cruise one and came here and subscribed. Great content, I love how fair and grounded you are in these. Like you're not at all knocking down a person or criticizing them or even claiming to KNOW for sure, just educating us on what may have been done, what they are called, and how they work and cost.
I never noticed the scars prior to this video. His hair looks good overall.
Agreed!
Yeah I think, that when you aren't looking for the scars, you don't really notice em unless it's probably really harsh lighting.
Barely noticeable scar versus very noticeable male pattern baldness is an easy decision, haha.
@@mckiki4029 Bezos is pretty bold. I don't think they can fix it.
Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge !!👊🏾
Massive respect for anyone who puts themselves through what it takes to become a surgeon.
🙏
Let alone a plastic surgeon. He had to do some general surgery before getting to plastics. I think a general surgeon residency is 7 yrs.
Gay? He missed allot of facts, i know a close friend of mr Musk, he had transplanted hair there but from someone else’s head…
@@mr.mikehunt4286 that's not possible.
@@drsanchezv anything is possible darling, weren’t you a man before?
A few years ago, it was all over the news that 'Stem-Cell' therapy was going to be the total cure for baldness, and that you would only need one treatment, and the your new hair would be back to its natural original color....my question is....where is this 'Stem-Cell' treatment and why is it not mentioned anywhere?
Very nicely explained Dr Linkov! I've just got my first hair transplant at 45 in the hope one would be enough (only 2235 graft units as I was not that bad) and I'm full of natural questions... I'm sure I can better understand my process watching you... Many thanks
how much did it cost you?
Looking good!
How does that ancient saying go
“You’re not ugly, you’re just poor”
And sadly ugly people have less opportunity to make money
lol
@@Baldbutstillhuman now that is what we call "systematic injustice"
The logic is similar to drug users getting fired which in turn makes their drug hussle their main job.
@@Baldbutstillhuman bad mentality but true.
@@illegal.anglo88 For sure! It’s not impossible, but they’ll just be less likely to be considered for promotions or raises. That’s why they should invest and start their own businesses 🙂
I may be 19 and a woman but I’ve been bingeing your hair transplant videos all week. Love them. Feeling very educated on a topic I’ll never use
Even though the FDA doesn’t recommend it.. minoxidil can be used by women! Helps when you’re thinning or want faster growth. I’ve also been using it on my eyebrows haha
Jojo siwa need a hair transplant
You’re only 19, you may be able to use the knowledge in the future, if you need it then. Me, I’d rather shave my head like the doctor. I just hope my skull has no weird bumps.
@7 Haunted Days um… u ok? 😐
@7 Haunted Days why are you feeling personally attacked from her saying she won't ever need the info? How did that sound arrogant to you? Excuse me? 🤨
I've watched a lot of interesting videos on topic that I would never use in my life, oh sorry I didn't know that very was arrogant of me 🥴
I don't care if I start losing my hair in my 40s, I've shaved my head before. I also don't care if some guy I marry (that's saying if I would ever "marry" a guy, or anyone, to begin with lmao) start losing their hair too. One of my ex was balding when we were 18 yo and I didn't give a damn. Does that offend you too? 💀
Basically we are not bald, we are just poor.
Men don’t inherit baldness, but rather scalp tension.
@@bobbylee2853 That's not true. Many men inherit DHT-sensitivity.
@@bobbylee2853 wrong, DHT sensitivity is highly hereditary
You're fantastic. I actually started watching your videos instead of watching movies because your videos are more exciting. You have amazing presentation skills, huge vocabulary and a captivating style of speaking. Thank you for these videos.
Who ever did the hair transplant for Elon, did a great job.
Couldn't agree more!
This doctor is wayyy off with his transplant cost estimate..25k for 2500 grafts is the biggest ripoff in the world. Hasson will do about 2500 gr for 10k. And you could get 3500 grafts for 12-15k. Sooo Elon spent good money but it's attainable for the average guy as well. Also fin and minox is only worth it for certain cases, it's too harmful to be worth using long-term. Any one who continues to use it is doing so at a big risk. Better to go mostly vegetarian and take good natural supplements as well as practicing circulation to the head and proper hormone control. This doctor is ok but he's nothing special.
@@nocturnalme3549 I will agree on the costs part. Between 10k-15k will buy one a LOT of work. And we are talking from great surgeons in the U.S. and of course Canada.
He looks really good now
@@drgarylinkov i think he has a rug (topee) he has been balding since 1999 atleast. 20 years!. no way thats real hair. he probably bought the best money could buy so you wouldnt know
When Jeff Bezos gets his hair back you’ll know there’s a legit cure.
Nah, more like physical proof that miracles exist. Lol.
I was so sadden to hear about your problem with hair loss. It must be difficult helping others with their hair problems. What an amazing man you are, so kind and you look great with a shaved head.
Very informative and enlightening video reviewing these interesting hair restoration surgery procedures. Kudos for your input!
You look badass with no hair. I like it!
Thank you!
@@drgarylinkov seriously: shave it all down. I know you have AA, but it looks good shaved down. Steer into it.
@@drgarylinkov try nair spray. It’s easier than shaving
Where do you not have hair
Scrolled down to say this too
If Elon balded naturally he'd totally have a mad scientist look.
Not so much a mad scientist look, definitely a mad scam artist though!
Jeff Bezos
A very scary mad scientist but then he doesn’t need to lose his hair really does he. He just is.
More like a sweaty nerd
@@furious32ninja why would you say that
Great respect for Dr linkov . I also really enjoy his video a very professional surgeon . I could listen to him for hours and learn so much. Every body have their own body issue but by listening or getting advise by professional physician can help up.
I just discovered your channel and you’re so interesting. I love how you explain what causes a celebrity to change and what they’ve done to correct it. Money can really make a difference in how you look, which these celebrities use a lot it - sometimes for the better, other times for the worst. Even though you have Alopecia Areata, you look great rocking your bald head! 🔥❤️
When I was 21 hair came out the side of my head, about a baseball size. Doctor said it was spotted alopecia and it wasn’t coming back. Long story short after about 2 years of getting rid of stress and living better it grew back. I’m 42 now and haven’t had problems since.
Interesting. I've noticed less hairs in my comb after breaking up with my now ex girlfriend.
@@TheDoctornaut I left a unhealthy relationship lol, my stress was relieved and my hair grew back.
@@jimmytwotimes802 swear it's like cancer. Sometimes I wonder if she was 'toxic' or if I just wasn't handling it properly. Either way I'm free to literally grow
@@xxx.118 you're pickin up what I'm puttin down
This is not why your hair started growing back again. Your hair started growing due to other things I'm not gonna discuss that, that's my secret. You didn't get rid of your stress, the stress was bigger when the bold spot was on the head
Not everyone can pull off this shaved look like you do! Somehow it doesnt age you at all
It looks so clean, neat, higienic, minimalist in a certain way. Fits you very well and im not saying thia just to be nice. You absolutely rock the bald look
You are awesome with and with no hair!
It's the skin that does the trick.
Likely he takes great care of his skin.
@@returnedtomonkey8886 and his facial structure, the Doctor rocks the bald look well
Intelligence is truly sexy!
I dont think he's pulling off the look , he's rocking the Stage 4 leukemia.
He probably gets to jump coffee line in starbucks a lot of times and gets standing O at Ball games.
@@RishiSingh-rn7dv He said at the beginning of the video he’s bald because of having an autoimmune condition, it’s called Alopecia Areata. If you look close, he doesn’t have eyebrows. The condition causes a person to lose all body hair.
I love watching your channel. You explain the situations so well. Keep making great videos 😁😎
You are very good! Balanced with surgical expertise and not biased.
Always enjoy Dr. Gary's calm, analytical and wholesome approach to explaining things. Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark :-)
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your support
Yeessss, I absolutely love his voice
It's encouraging to see many people just starting to make public their hair loss journeys, especially when they have some type of reach to the community because their reach motivates others to face their journey as well and look for a community. It's beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
totally agree
I would never undergo surgery for aesthetic reasons but I really like your videos who explain the procedures because they are clear and not judgmental.
👀
yeah, I doubt it. I would have liked to see you when you were 20-30 years old and going bold hard... that sure changes peoples opinions about having a hair transplant.
Stop with your bullshit lol u have no idea how it feels to start losing hair in early 20s...
There are some careers I have no respect for but that I keep to myself.
Doctors are really up there. Most likely in first place. You guys are a different breed.
Thanks for sharing your videos. I've watched only two of them so far and they are very educational as well as entertaining...and you explain things in such a clear and understandable way.
As a surely balding hairdresser, I honestly want to work to erase the stigma of men wearing wigs/toupes. Women have that stigma too but it's magnified towards men because society stereotypes us as "we shouldn't care" well I do care and I want to feel good with myself and a good head of hair is how I feel good about myself.
How much would you say a natural looking toupee costs? Generally.
@@chudleyflusher748 I have nearly no basis to compare with. I used to work at a high end salon that made toupes and wigs and I believe they sold toupes for something like 2500kr to 3800kr (swedish currency)
@@chudleyflusher748 there are places that make human hair pieces that have "lace " fronts that look real and natural. Look that up . > mens lace front human hair wigs. Some of the legit ones will actually match the coler with you hair with a sample you send and instructions to measure you scalp correctly. My friend got one online and took it to a barber that cut it after attaching it to his head . He left it a little long at first and then gradually cut it shorter and shorter, it looks great.
Im fucked as a balding 18 year old.
I went through chemo in 2019, and lost all of the hair on my body. Obviously, it's different, since mine grew back. Silver and curly! But honestly, I went through it during the hot summer heat then winter, but I learned to embrace it, I rocked it. You totally rock the bald, I understand it can be a bit harder for women..I am one. But the experience was definitely humbling.
I did not know he even had hair implants. This is why I love watching your videos. That and I love how before you start you always say things about the ppl so as not to come off rude or judgey. It's medical education.
Just subscribed to your channel. I am planning a facelift so want to gather information. You do a very good video. I really like how you start in early years and point out the things to look for down the road. Very thorough. Thank you!
Are facelifts very prevalent today? As a man I've considered it. I'm sure you have researched deeply..thx!
I started going bald in my 30's. It was disastrous for me at the time. But what the hell, life goes on. It's sad about your own issues but you look fine Dr. Gary, believe me. I can tell that as a very intelligent man, you accepted your lot and good for you. Respect.
30s? Lucky
I empathise. All said, mine left for furrier pastures (the sewer) when I was in my early 20s, and I have always been self conscious. Mix of family genetics and at the time poor lifestyle choices (working late on computer developing AMX Pagemaker, excessive brushing*, little outdoor exercise). *I had very nice 70s like hair if that makes sense, but it was flyaway and difficult to control and style due to a mix of mum's straight hair and dad's curly. So I was constantly brushing and combing it, to no avail and I would nervously fidget with it, twirling it around my fingers.
Now I shave it short and all is good, except the sunburn when I forget my baseball cap!
Totally...men with real male hormones lose hair....bold is cool...
@@B.Alance1st As a female, I always look at men with receding hairlines and think they must have a lot of testosterone. 😄
@@cyninbend totally...also " hair doesnt grow on smart brains " 👍
I have MS and when I took Tecfidera it killed my hair despite not being listed as a side affect. After I switched medication my hair is back. Autoimmune diseases and treatments are difficult to deal with. Sending positive vibes your way.
You are beautiful in and out Doc. This channel makes me feel better about being my natural self and want to delay any surgical interventions until I a much older. Skin care and health from the inside out will be my route
Lucky to have one of the best restoration clinics in my backyard, Shapiro Medical here in Minnesota. Dr. Ron is one of the pioneers in the field. About $5 per graft for FUT.
The doctor who can't have hair grants every guy his confidence and looks back! Respect
They did a good job. His hair looks natural.
IN MY VIEW
You are great at explaining with clarity about your subjects. Easy to understand.
My brother has alopecia totalis and I really appreciate you bringing awareness to this auto immune disease
Musk should've focused on permanent Hair-Loss solutions 4-ALL instead of going to Mars / Tesla! ( ;

@@kohli11000 more tough or tougher. That is a double negative.
Dude, you are so freakin funny. I know you hear these compliments literally all the time but to just see someone with your seemingly unmatched levels of prestige while still being so humble and down to earth…it’s seriously one of the more refreshing experiences I’ve had the pleasure of. I love this channel so much and I’ve learned even more. Anyone that makes the age old joke about the hair surgeon needing hair surgery is just someone insecure with their situation and I’m glad that you’re enlightened enough to not even let the trolls make you blink.
what levels of prestige are you talking about 😂 change the drug dealer my guy
Dont think having hair will make you any more fab so know ypure worth
I, for one, appreciate the Chinese characters.
> Anyone that makes the age old joke about the hair surgeon needing hair surgery is just someone insecure with their situation
It's a fair statement to make, any person would do it. I'm not approving it but it's kinda normal to think in that way.
I love how you explain everything. Well done
I like how you explain everything. It's very easy to understand. So people can make educated decisions.
It is so unfortunate we place such negative value on male baldness. As Dr. Gary suggests, the costs are formidable for the vast majority of men. Many women (if not most), think bald men are beautiful! Dr Gary is an example of this. What a beautiful person and man. I am a 62 year old happily married woman, but he would still turn my head :). My own husband became even more handsome when he gave in to his early hair loss and shaved his head. He too is a beautiful person which is what matters at the end of the day isn't it!! In the nursing profession we would probably call Dr. Gary (behind his back of course), Dr. McDreamy or something of that nature (LOL). Thank you for an informative presentation!!
It's not negative it's just you're not nearly as attractive as you would be with hair. Hair not only protects your head from the elements but it harmonizes and frames your face to your head. It's vital in attracting a mate. Most men would not be with a woman with the horseshoe shape pattern. Most young women do not like bald men as it makes you look way older. Hair loss sucks but our species has it and we need to do whatever we can to maximize our looks to secure a mate to procreate with
i think the negative value we place on penis size is more concerning.
@@marragonn found the 4 incher
Yes he’s lucky he’s so good looking. Baldness is hard when ur not so good looking to begin with. Although it’s hard no matter what u look like tbh
you are just trying to be nice, reality is most women don't find bald men attractive it's a simple fact that i've witnessed many, many times. It's unfortunate but it is what it is.
Hey doc, looks like your hair is making a nice comeback! The treatments are definitely working and I’m happy for you man.. looking forward to the update vid 😊
You could get this done in Turkey for 1/10 of the price it costs here with outstanding results. My friend got FUT done for thousand bucks there pre covid. He literally had no hair in the front and the top. He was 40 years old looking 50. 8-9 months after the transplant, he had a head full of hair and he still has. He looks 35 and girls are all over him. So amazing to see how hair could dramatically change someone's looks in a positive way. Unfortunately good things don't stay a secret. After covid and the currency exchange devaluation there, the word got out and everyone rushed to Turkey skyrocketing the prices along with it. After adding the flight+hotel expenses it's not cheap anymore but the results are still great.
Still is. 5k for a 2k grafts transplant is a bargain
but would you let a turk do such sophisticated surgical tasks ? that's not worth any money, even if the risk is only 5% that you die or 30% that you look like a jerk
@@escaton74Well, mate, they have the most experience now, whether they got there by doing dodgy work or not.
@@escaton74 They literally have to go through the same shit in medical school. Turkish doctors get asked for consultations from US doctors all the time. It's just cheaper because the country is generally a whole lot cheaper.
Yes, agree
I've found after minoxidil, that increased my heart rate and made me dizzy, then finasteride which completely killed the sex drive; I went with cutting the remaining hair very short and spend the money on gym memberships. Going for the Jason Statham look has worked really well. Women are not as concerned about your hair if you have an athletic body , abs and a sense of humor.
Shut up
lol cope, you can do what you want but don’t lie to yourself
Love that you aren't hiding your alopecia even though you are a surgeon. My mum had alopecia and she resorted to wigs and it really affected her emotionally and mentally. She also lost her eyebrows. I think it affects women more but i think this look suits you. I do wish there was more advances for alopecia since it can really affect women.
Tell your mother a stranger said she’s beautiful and I hope she finds ways to regain her confidence and self love :)

Pretty good content. The hair issues are getting more and more serious. It would be great to hear if the cost is getting lower.
Dr. Gary, you do a great job & thanks for commenting on Elon, I always wondered about this.
a friend of mine went to istabul for transplant treatment . he is turkish . he paid £1000 for the treatment . the work was incredible . he said he did suffer with pain for about 1 week . and scabs all over his head where it was done . he said it was well worth it as he feels far more confident and looks about 20 years younger . now i will watch your video and find how much in the states .
wow . expensive .
Dude! You showed up on my recommended a few weeks ago (I think it was MGK) and I’ve been educating myself with this stuff since. I have no interest or plans on getting any of this done, I have a great head of hair (just big forehead lol), but man! I find this interesting and I’m learning so much. Thanks for doing something so unique! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the support!
Dr Gary is adorable smart and relatable. I would trust him with my face
Hi great video. Quick questions: Does the method that does the long scar (FUT i believe you said) create a tighter scalp and make the scalp uncomfortable? even to the point where it could make the face pull up at all? Is there more advanced techniques now that don't require a strip taken off as a big piece of real-estate back there (FUE maybe)? It would seem to me that the biggest trick you have to perform is determining if someone has enough donor area, and if they don't, you would not recommend this procedure at all or a much smaller impact procedure which wouldn't look as full as Elon Musk?
Dr. Gary. I did not know you had autoimmune but that does not change the facts that you are a good person and a good looking guy. You have a great smile. Thanks for the videos I love them they are very educational..
I was on Turkish Airlines flight the other day, out from Istanbul and there was about 30 men on it also, all with this procedure done. They all had head bands on with a one Dr's name on them. It was actually amazing to see the different patterns and positions of the grafts. Truly is stunning to see what is capable and how the industry is changing.
Fascinating, I heard Turkey is where people go for this but what a bizarre spectacle that must have been
Wow, that reminds me of a Tiktok I saw that showed a plane coming back from the Dominican Republic, a third of the passengers were in wheelchairs because they just had BBL surgery. It’s crazy.
I know someone who is actually Turkish and lives in the US and when he went back to visit home he had this done lol
I saw the same at the Turkey airports , it seems it is a big industry in Turkey so they must have lots of experience .
@@ALT-vz3jn 🤣🤣
Thanks for giving the total picture of what needs to be done to compensate for hair loss and maximizing and sustaining the gain.
I think it's perverted that clinics keep people in the dark about needing medication together with transplants and just try to sell you surgical procedures.
Your videos are so entertaining!!! Im so glad i found your channel. Subscribed!
I have had 2 FUE hair transplants in Vancouver B.C. First one was done in 2019. (4250 grafts ) Second procedure to fill in the crown area was done in February 2022 ( 2000 grafts ) Yes , the FUE Procedure is quite a bit more expensive than the FUT method , but I am extremely happy with the results so far . 😃
Do you have to keep getting medication as he says in the video ?
I had THREE done. 2 FUT's one in 2015, 2000 grafts for 8k and one in 2017, 1000 grafts for 4k.
Finally I went to Mexico and had 3500 grafts for only 3790.00. I should have went to Mexico in the first place as it looks great.

Hi, did you have any issues with numbness in the donor area or hardening of the skin near the stitches?
@@phukin-ell not that I’ve noticed. skin felt tight for a couple weeks after the surgery but after that I felt nothing uncomfortable.

Love your bald head! A family member has alopecia. It can be very emotional. I’m glad you own it. 🙌🏼
Very informative and respectful at the same time 👍💯
People talk shit about your profession and lack of hair?! That's ridiculous, I would think it would help patients relate to and trust you more, bc you have a greater understanding of what they're going through.
That’s what I like to believe.
Hi Dr. Gary Linkov! Love your channel! I just wanted to share with you about Steven Gerrard's hair. He was one of the best Liverpool midfielders of all time. His hairline defies the law of physics and is not affected by aging at all, in fact i think it grows thicker and even moves forward as he ages! I never once suspected that he had transplant or treatment of any kind, but just wanted admire his gorgeous hair and highlight how unfair G̶o̶d̶ genetics is.
You have a very positive and relaxing vibe. I like your aura💕, which is plastic surgery couldnt found a solution yet😂
I find these videos fascinating ! thanks !!
I am on my own autoimmune journey. You're an inspiration Dr Gary! Looking great, your skin is glowing!

i appreciate your calm and seemingly well adjusted attitude and demeanor
I love what I do. Thank you!
Thank you Hank for the wonderful explanation.
Do you have any idea if the program "keeps" helps in any way shape or from to combat hair loss?
Dr Linkov. I just wanted to thank you for making these videos mate. You're helping to normalize a somewhat taboo subject for men. The more experts that come out and educate us on these issues the better.
My pleasure!
I tried blowing on my screen because I thought a hair was on my phone 🤣
@@03cnutty same here hahahaa
Could you do a video on the benefits of micro needling/derma rolling for hair growth? Loving the videos Gary!
I just filmed that one!!! Did a deep dive into the literature. Will be coming out in next few weeks.
I'm very excited and happy for you with your hair growth!
Beautiful work on Mr. Musk. I think this is fabulous for anyone needing or wanting this.
I think all your videos are amazing you give wonderful insight!! I definitely subscribed
Hey Doc!!!…. Just saw where you said you have alopecia!!!! I liked the shaved head prior to that knowledge…. Keep doing what you do!!!
Just had fue transplants in Chicago May 25th this year 2023. Hope it works. Sounds promising if I'm careful and get on fenesteride propecia for the existing hair. Didn't get the crown area done but hopefully the transplants on front will grow well enough to cover up or hide that area
Hey doc, can you comment at all on topical vs oral finasteride? I know you prefer the latter, but is topical still an effective option and less likely to have systemic side effects?
He didn't want to go bald to not look like Bezos.
Ok
Thought at first your videos were some clickbait that would shame the people you were discussing....not at all. Thank you for a very logical step by step that explains procedures, costs and outcomes. Very informative and well done.
Great analysis and explanation! I learned so much about hair transplantation. My takeaway is to carefully select a competent surgeon, which is always tricky for outsiders to the medical community. I am also an Elon admirer. His intellect, drive and creativity seem super-human.
I came to learn about Elon Musks transplant but stayed because I'm impressed by how comfortable and confident you are despite your medical condition. It's inspiring for us who are losing hair to know it doesn't matter so much.
Despite his condition? One has nothing to do with the other. His ability to perform as a plastic surgeon and how he can confidently explain is due to his experience and expertise in his field.
I honestly wish I could accept my hairloss situation as well as you are handling it. Currently taking topical fin + oral min + duta + SAA's + Estriol just to keep a decent amount of hair on my head.
What are SAA's if you don't mind me asking 🤔
@@willyval08 Steroidial Anti-androgens. Like spironolactone and cyproterone acetate.
The idea is to reduce overall testosterone, then inhibiting what of that testosterone is converted into DHT.
Is it something I recommend, no never. I am only doing this off prescription as a last resort. I am effectively more or less a woman at this point.
How’s your hair?
I knew a guy back in 1978 who was only 30 and had a huge bald spot with a ring of hair around it. He had the kind of hair transplant they were doing back then which was essentially removing donor hair/skin with something similar to a hole punch and transplanted into an identical hole punched in the bald area. I watched a video on and it was pretty gruesome as they'd pull the punched out skin plug, twist then cut it. He didn't experience great results with that method. The plugs that survived the transplant made it look like he had a polka-dot head.
Hi Dr Gary, thanks for this video, what are your thoughts on Biofibre Transplants? is it safe in the long run - interns of getting injections etc ?
Many Thanks
Derma rolling seems to help with alopecia. For me that really seems to bring back hair quickly after an alopecia areata episode. Also I have noticed that zinc and vitamin d supplementation seems to help as well.
Thanks for sharing. Video on Microneedling coming soon.
@@drgarylinkov I watched it. Great stuff 👍
