My husband did it in turkey 8 years ago we paid 3500€ (I did not choose the cheapest one) and we are till today super happy! Best decision ever!

I had my 1st transplant 33 years ago and still growing strong. 2 more transplants since then to fill in behind the original. Best thing I ever did.

had mine done last summer in Dublin, Ireland great team there. it was quite a large area, ended up using 4,500 grafts, but I was left with no scaring and as I'm getting closer to 5-6 months since my transplant the density is really starting to come through. very happy with my experience

Wow that was very informative ,thanks

Your hair is looking really well, just wanted to say, great video as usual ✌

Ethics are a true gift and necessity...keep up the integrity!!

In America all the hair transplant places are $15,000 or above. Its simply outside the average American salary

Your results look so nice and natural. I'm lucky to be almost 30 and no problems yet but if I ever have some I will be sure to come to you to get the kind of high quality results.

Can you make a video on post transplant care. It will be really helpful.

Dr. G. Love the videos!! This is probably an unusual question: Have you had people of native American decent come to you about their complete lack of the ability to grow facial hair? Think about it. How many natives have you seen with a beard? Im 43 and cannot even grow a full goatee, yet I have a full head of hair. Looking forward to your thoughts! And more on male rhinoplasty. Thank you Dr!

Love all your advice videos and it’s helped me with my research and know what to look for

love these videos

I'm just an artist...but I find this subject to be incredibly fascinating. If i were intelligent enough I'd find a way to work as an assistant to a surgeon(?) or perhaps dermatologist(?) that focused hair restoration therapy. Everything about it is just so interesting. It seems like very interesting and satisfying work.

Wow you have to have the patience of a saint and the artistry of da Vinci.

Could you please make a video explaining what the Regenera Activa procedure for hair loss is and if it is effective? Would highly appreciate it

I had a really well done transplant in Cologne, Germany. I started out with naturally thin, curly hair and they repaired my balding scalp. The hair is not very dense but it's the best that could be done given the situation because before the transplant my donor area was already very light. My expectations were realistic and so I'm more than happy with the result! I'm taking 1mg finasteride now too, hoping to restore some more hair. I don't know if it will do anything at this point but it's just something I feel like I have to do to at least prevent further loss.

Dr. Linkov I would like to know your thoughts on plasma therapy for hair regrowth.

I'd surely go to Dr Gary L if I could afford it, but I chose a clinic in Istanbul and had 4.5k grafts for 2K USD. Best money ever spent. I wish American clinics kept prices under 8k for a one day surgery procedure.

Dr Gary can you please make a video discussing stem cell therapy for hair loss. Thank you.

Thanks !

I got mine done a year ago. The best decision ever. I'm glad I made videos to help guys who are afraid to make the decision to get one. Thanks, Dr. for this video

Great info and pics. Suggestion: put mic to the side or on desk so it's not blocking your face.

I got mine done three months ago in Tijuana, Mexico. I have been on finasteride and Minoxidil for the last 5 years. I got about 3K grafts for only $4000 dollars. I already see great results.

Been following you since “Pandy”,…U look Marvelous absolutely MARVELOUS !!!

I do in turkey about 2 years ago a hair transplant and i am very satisfied 🎉

Ok Dock. I listen to your entire video and I concluded we don't have to worry about any of that if we go to you. Thank you.

Can I ask, does the health of scalp itself affect the overall result of the transplant? For example, if you suffer from Sebhoerric Dermatitis, would this affect the end result?

I did mine in my country and not in Turkey. Very natural result. I am planning a second minor (1000 hairs) transplant just to thicken some areas. I used finasteride and minoxidil for 18 months prior to the transplant. Medication continues forever.

I did my ht in turkey 🇹🇷 two years ago and im going to do it for 2nd time for crown area this year I’m happy with the result so far

This I nice and very helpful video

Can you talk about For Hims new Finastride + Minoxidil Spray?

I had a hair transplant 3 years ago. It was a dream of mine and saved for 4 years for it. I was distressed about the amount of hair loss I had and being short and bald was really depressing me. I had it done in London UK, they changed my surgery location 1 week before because my surgeon was sick, it was supposed to be in Manchester. I thought same company must be good. After I had it done I had the worst necrosis that I have seen of anybody online and massive scarring in the top of my head and also the back of my head. 80% of the grafts obviously failed and had just minor parts at the very front front succeed. They also made errors on the aftercare sheet which made things worse as well as I wasn’t washing long enough. It turned out one of the people doing the surgery was a trainee which I wasn’t notified about before. Now I have to have my hair from the back cover my front like a bad comb over. The worst of it all is that because of the scarring I cannot even go bald now due to the scarring in the front of my head and back of my head. I’m so depressed and my hair loss is getting worse and I really don’t know what todo. Or who I can trust or if it can even be corrected I just don’t want to go through the same thing and pain all over again. But I don’t want to go bald and have bad shiny scarring all over my head. They have not only not given hair but messed up my opportunity of ever looking normal. Please doctor help me with some advice and what can be done for me.

Best video about hair transplants ever. Who else discusses the Artistry ?

I had mine done in Mexico, 5 years ago, and I am super satisfied with the results!

Hi, it would be great if you could comment on the implants you put in, and maybe tell the prices you charge in NY

Dr. Gary, is using Minoxidil necessary for hair growth post hair transplant procedure? If yes, for how long?

You definitely know your stuff doc. I agree you definitely need to have a creative eye when doing cosmetic treatments and surgery.

Doctor Linkov, what are your thoughts on Verteporfin ?

Dr Gary, you have any thoughts on pyrilutamide? I dont think it is approved but still wanted to see if you had any info on it? Studies in progress in US and China. My biggest concern with any treatment is if I stop things will be worse than when I started. Thoughts? I am considering transplant but concerned about that too. Any help would be great? - Mark

Hey Dr. L! Did you see that thr FDA approved ritlecitinib for ages 12 and up for alopecia Areata? 🤔

I had hear transplant in Georgia(Country) 3k grafts for 1.7k$ had pretty good results in 3 months (maybe it's because of me and my body, but still) now it's my fifth and results getting better and better, cheap not always means low quality 🤷🏻‍♂️

hi i wanted to ask how to know if my hair loss is because of androgenetic alopecia or vitamin d3.. i recently went for a vitamin d test and my vitamin d3 level is 9.4.. my hair on top are thin as compared to sides or back of my head i have been on minoxidil and finestride 1mg for 70 days i have seen a little bit of improvement from these medicines but some doctors say that vitamin D deficiency can also cause hair thinning. what do you say about this. hoping a reply from you

I think i didnt got the best results but im still happy and much more better than i was before. The transplanted hairline looks natural, has a nice shape. But after the transplanted are theres like 1 cm gap between the transplanted hair and my natural hairline, i wonder why hair didnt grow in this area.

Hello. I have scarring cellulitis. Do you think that its a bad idea to proceed a hair transplant. How can i see if its "active" or or not?

can you talk about moustache gap or little hair in between thats not thick enough.

A friend of mine had catastrophic failure of his transplant. He went from a full head of thick hair to fully bald (male pattern baldness) in the span of a few weeks. He's not happy to talk about it but my understanding was that he suffered a dermatitis or infection that killed all the grafts

Is there any chance if you have alopecia areata? For now it's going better with cortison and finasteride and minoxidil. I don't know how much long I can go with cortison...

Thanks

Hey doc, do you ship your products to Europe?

I got mine done almost 2 years ago. Results look decent, but I was expecting a lot more density (at least 2x if not 3x). I was willing to pay, but the doctor refused to do more than 15-20 grafts per square centimeter saying "you can't do more than that; the grafts won't live". So I had 1500 grafts done for over $9k. (Makes me want to go back in time and just go to Turkey.) Based on tons of other people's experiences, I can pretty confidently say he's wrong, but I'm curious about your thoughts.

are there any clinics in Istanbul you can recommend as well?

I am an active yoga teacher and practitioner. I had a hair transplant done revenging. I am not planning on returning to yoga practice for 3-4 weeks after my surgery. I had it one week ago.. I'm curious what you think about headstands during the yoga practice. my inclination is to wait longer than one month to perform a headstand because of the pressure it would put on the grafts.. but I'm curious how long you think it would need to heal before I can stay in a headstand for a minute or two. also I have heard that the headstand position in general is good for your hair growth and hair.. let me know if you have thoughts. even if its a short KZfaq video it would be good to know more information on this

Hi! Thank you so much for your informative vids. I do wish you would vet hair transplant Dr's in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have major thinning on the top front of my crown, but am able to disguise it with "fillers". Dry-spray shampoo, etc. My hair is long(4"below shoulder length) but very fine. No health issues, just DNA/post-menopause. SO fun, lol.

9 out of 10 hair transplants look bad just because the shape of the hairline looks too straight and too fake. A hair line is not a straight line. I even see it in movie whigs. Look at Captain Kirk in Star Trek. In some Episodes his hair looks normal and in others his hairline is just a straight line. I like to draw people and faces and it is always important to get the hairline look natural. But most doctors only know how to transplant hair but have no clue how a hairline is shaped.

Hi Dr Gary. I’m happy with my hair transplant but have you ever heard of anyone getting CVG after the surgery? Near the crown I have a slight crease/ thicker skin than before Cheers !

I have a question about post-operative recovery, hair shedding and dieting. I had my transplant surgery about 6 weeks ago and am already in the shedding phase. I understand this is normal and I’m not concerned. However, I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and my GP wants me to go on a 12-week very low-calorie diet. I know that some people may develop hair loss called telogen effluvium (TE) during low-calorie diets. Usually, this hair grows back after the diet has ended. I am more concerned about permanently damaging the newly transplanted hair grafts. Is there a significant risk of this if I do a very low-calorie diet? I am taking finasteride and using minoxidil as well.

So how much do u charge , I’m from uk ? For crown and horse shoe ?

Vietnam Thailand has pretty impressive medical facilities

I am receding my hair temples back side and front all good and maintained with finesterdie and minodile am 44 someone recommend me a good clinic

Thank you for the video :) , I' went for a consultation about a year ago ( I haven't been able to afford a hair transplant in the mean time) but I have quite a big bald patch on my crown and the front 2 sides of my hair are completely bald, I got quoted 11k for a 2 day surgery, is that reasonable from a well respected hair clinic in cardiff ? :) thank you :)

HOW DO GET MY HAIRE TO GROW FASTER AND FIKER I TRIED ALL

Gary, love the channel. My question which I am sure you have had a million times, but can other body hair be used for transplant. I would love to have hair but I am bald and have probably 5 cm of hair all around which of course I shave. I have hair on my chest, back and arm pits and I can sport a beard too. Could all this be harvested and transplanted ?

I'm 44 and got myself a hair system made from real hair. I couldn't be happier with it! I actually prefer my hair now more than even when I was 25 and had full natural hair. I decided against a transplant for many reasons. My father's hair transplant failed 15 years ago. You can't predict the success of a transplant or whether the hair that grows back will even have a nice texture. My natural hair was thick but very rough and wiry. Above all, I've no desire for followup transplant operations in 5-10 years again or worse still having to take unnecessary medication that mess with your hormones... no way!!

Can you use minoxidil and finasteride together?

I've just had my first transplant at a leading clinic in Turkey and when desinging the hairline they would not let me have any say on the hairline and drew on an m shaped receding hairline even though i had hair growth lower then where they drew the planned hairline and when i said i wasn't happy with the design they became very argumentative and said they cannot do it any lower due to where my eyebrow muscles are located quite high which i don't think they are at all and if they were to do it any lower it would fail and fall out and no hair would grow there. I explained to them again on the day of the transplant while i was on the operation bed that i already have some hair growth lower than where they were willing to transplant and i would like the hairline very slightly lower and I was told they will cancel the whole operation if i don't go with what they wanted. It sounds strange to me that others have a choice on the shape of hairline when i was not given one. Is there any truth to what they were saying or where they just not a cooperative clinic?

I paid 12 grand for 2400 grafts at a flagship company for hair restoration (I won't say which one). I only ended up with about 800 successful grafts (33% success rate), so I lost 1600 healthy hairs when I was already balding. Not good. I did everything by the letter during the recovery process, but most of the transplanted hair never grew back after it fell out around the 1-month mark. I didn't hear anything in this video that would apply to me. I have very healthy donor hair and no other medical issues. The grafting was less dense than most transplants I've seen online that were successful. So.. any other ideas for the failure?

How do you get a consultation with this doctor

Hey. You mention about grafts being rubbed off. I am two weeks post transplant and I am conscious if I rub my hairline I will rub off the grafts. I have seen one or two hairs come off in my finger but I am thinking this is probably the shredding starting. There has been no blood when I have touched it so I am hoping it means the grafts have not been damaged. Maybe a vid on how to tell between a graft coming out and the hair shredding? :)

Can you recommend a great clinic in the San Francisco bay area?

hi Gary, for shaving heads, I noticed a number of places do not require it. Could I trust them? Will it look not as good if I shave and they are just trying to reel me in?

Who’s a good doctor and where do I go to find one

your thumbnail looks exactly like me. freaked me out

Litfulo is a new alopecia medication. Can you discuss

Steve Carell had an excellent hair transplant outcome. Would love to see an analysis of him.

Friend of mine had 9000 grafts in one session in Iran for about a thousand dollars. It looks like they transplanted the hair from his nut sack to his head. Poor guy.

How much you charge for hire transplant?

Hey Gary. I've been a long time viewer and wanted to ask you a question and just choose this video randomly lol. I have been a longtime hairloss sufferer I used to use Propecia and since I turned 30 I started using Avodart since Propecia didn't do anything for me. Anyways, I'm just wondering your through's on PFS syndrome? Do you believe it exists or is it a result of compounding problems that happen to be blamed on a hair loss drug. I don't have an answer either way. Just wanted your take. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and bye bye.

How long after FUE would you recommend I go without wearing a headband? I’m a woman who had it recently but I haven’t gotten a good answer from my doctor 🤔

I got my transplant 6 mounts ago in Turkey ,3800 grafts for 3500 euro best decizion ever and im only half term away for best result .

Results depend upon your hair quality of donor area, harvesting technique and your general health and age .. If taken from permanenet zone they may last longer... Biotin . Finesteride and minoxidil,ketoconazole shampoo may help or slow progression .

6:52 my doctor lied to me he didnt mention this to me

In the 90s, my co-worker and I had a meeting with a vendor. This guy had such obvious plugs, it was hard not to stare at them. As soon as he left, my co-worker and I just looked at other and started to laugh because we both had been so distracted. Poor guy.

My hair isn't falling out. I just have a huge forehead and my hair line is NATURALLY far back. I would love a transplant

Doc I don’t know what it is but you are looking good or better

Hello, I got two hair transplants within 14 month’s of each other. The first one really seemed to be working well. Got greedy and went second to fill in thickness. After the second FUE my hair seemed like it got really thin. It’s like the second session ruined the first. Some feed back would be appreciated

What is the essential biological difference between hair cells that fail and those that thrive? With age, the scalp tightens and the blood supply is reduced to the crown.

Can you get a FUE transplant if your donor area is tattooed?

Hi. Did you do the hair transplant yourself?

Is there a way to make my hair thicker than it already is by taking transplants from someone else?

Dr Gary please review TED Alma for hair loss!!

How much does in general costs a hair transplantation at your place?

My 4 months transplant is not satisfactory 😢 can anyone tell is it normal result ?.

Dr. Linkov could you please make 1 video about the whole WORKOUT + Whey and Creatine consumption after hair transplant and somehow try to clarify for us the advantages vs disadvantages. I mean, many of us would love to get back to training and lifting weights but I assume many of us are unsure if its really healthy to be doing a sort of a heavier workout and take whey protein and creatine, since there have been reports that the consuption of the two could lead to a hair loss...Would be great if you touched this topic as well. Thank you doctor and warm regards from Budva, Montenegro

There is a popular country with too many clinics and with many amateurish experts. One clinic offered 8000 grafts in 1 session! I've visited 10 clinics and still ended up with a trickster, who looked like an experienced surgeon. Graft placements in the wrong direction and with the wrong angle.

which clinic do you recommend for black people in West Africa

I just had my transplant 2 weeks ago, is numbness in finger toe connected somehow ? I forgot to ask my doctor and i accidentally deleted the contact number 😅, i cant risk traveling again that far, and also some part of my scalp is still numb, i want to know if thats normal and how long it will take to fully recover, i hope my question gets answers thankyou ❤

Also keep check on Vit D

now the price make a bit more sense

Dr. GARY explaining how to make the sausage. Lol. I'd trust him tho

Sounds like SMP is the simpler and least expensive way to go.
