I Shaved My HEAD BALD 4 Years After Hair Transplant | Surgeon Reacts

I think this just further reinforces the importance of having a good, honest, and involved surgeon.

Man, your head is so perfectly shaped for being bald, not everyone looks so good...

I think doctor Gary is very cute and he looks so natural without hair. He is so cool. And it's very psychologically comfortable and non-toxic the way he talks about this sensitive thing

Eyebrows looking nice there Dr. Linkov. Treatment's doing something it seems.

My son started losing hair in his early 20s. By his late 20s he had a grandpa head (a ring of hair from ear to ear) with nothing to comb over in the middle even if he'd wanted to. Around 30, when he'd been married a few years, he went into his bathroom and shaved it all off. He's been that way ever since. He's now 54 and handsome as ever.

9:32 Wisdom and the reason I subscribe this channel. Not only Gary is of course a medical professional but he has an excellent grasp of human psychology as well.

I didn't think the line on the back of his head was all that terrible

As a woman, it is interesting to see this kind of almost dysmorphia, talking about all of his insecurities and then showing the pictures and not seeing any problem.

Dr. Gary you seem so realistic and caring. I wish more doctors were thorough and well spoken like you. I went 10 years without getting a diagnosis for basic small fiber neuropathy. In that time I learned that the medical profession is full of untrained, uneducated people. Maybe people that forgot their education? Not sure. I live in america, supposedly one of the greatest countries in the world. The medical system failed me and my quality of life is worse now because a bunch of the "best" neurologists in new york, philly and new jersey could not do a basic skin biopsy. A physical therapist diagnosed me and sent me to her neurologist. It's a sad state when physical therapists are better than neurologists at their job. So anyways, this is all to say that I appreciate doctors that care. Doctors that can speak clearly and concisely. Doctors that don't gaslight you. Doctors who are sensitive to people's mental struggles (like those patients who are very emotional about going bald) and I can tell you are one of those men.

Dr. Linkov, can you please make a video about your own hair regrowth journey? Would be great to see what has been done, because it’s the first time I see someone having such amazing results with alopecia ❣️ Thank you!

Gary, you are indeed right, we tend to judge ourselves more thinking about how people would perceive us..there is nothing shameful in staying bald!

Merry Christmas, Gary! Thanks so much for providing us with crucial information about hair loss throughout the year. I can easily say on behalf of most young adults you've given us solutions to approach a big insecurity most of us might face. Whether you celebrate or not, have a great day!

Im envious of bald men since my transplant didn't take and whole back of my head is a mess of circle scars. Have had to wear a wig for 30 years. Dont mess with what God gives you. If I had just accepted baldness I would have been a much happier man today.

This was such a chill and informative and normalising video, really enjoyed hearing this both very professional and human perspective!

A good hair transplant will definitely last a lifetime. You might not keep 100% of what was transplanted but 80% for sure if you take care of it, and are regimented with the finasteride and minoxidil treatments. Also: never do it on the cheap, and don’t do mega sessions. Better to do 3 smaller sessions over a five year period than one big one where the blood flow isn’t adequate to keep all the grafts growing.

Shaving very short or completely is ALWAYS better than trying to hide it. You need to rock it because trying to hide going bald oozes of insecurity. Listen guys, a toooon of men go bald, there's literally nothing to be ashamed of, though 99% of us would like to have the option to have hair. You can try to "fix" things, but until you actually succeed in it, don't hide it.

Merry Christmas Doctor! I just had a hair transplant of 2039 grafts 2 weeks ago and your channel has helped me so much leading up to the surgery and for what to expect in the coming months. Thanks for all your helpful info☺️

Really bizarre to get surgery without chemical therapy like finasteride to maintain the transplanted grafts...

I’ve been shaving my head for about 15 years now. Since I was 25. Sometimes I would love to have a full head of hair, but I just embrace it. Women love my bald head.

Got kudos from my dermatologist for asking about help with my hairline soon after I noticed it starting to recede rather than waiting until I lost enough to be unhappy with it. Hoping to keep most of what I've got because I probably wouldn't spend the cash on a transplant.
