17:40. Unfortunately telling this to black guys that care more about their hairline since they keep their hair super low (at least the majority of us) is gonna be tough. The majority of black guys that get a hair transplant, do it to get the hairline back at all costs. We rather have a hairline and use concealer than have a dense middle scalp back.
Black guys should experiment with length more. I’m black and i keep some length to my hair. It actually disguises the thin areas completely. My Hairline is decent and I don’t have a big head so the fro just kinda shrinks along the natural line and hides the minor recession. Nappy hair has a lot of utility in that respect. Grow it 3 times longer than desired if you have 4c and let it shrink into place. Then shape it.
@Aristides Gonzalez it’s probably not stress if it’s your hairline. I would use minoxidil. My hair started thinning 7 years ago and it’s been stable since I started minoxidil 3 years ago. It sheds like crazy at first though. I actually get a dermatologist grade 7% minoxidil with .01% topical finasteride in it as well. Haven’t found topical finasteride anywhere else though. 45 bucks a month.

Go watch the old TV shows, movies and sports, and men rocked receding hairlines and bald spots like it was nobody’s business. When MJ was losing his hair, he wasn’t getting flamed for it because it was seen as normal. These days, once LeBron was receding, the internet and people in general were flaming LeBron for his hair. It matters much more today and men are more self-conscious about it due to other men flaming them and women not being attracted to them. So to compare MJ to LeBron in this is not a good comparison. Also, maybe LeBron is holding onto his hair and MJ for rid of his because MJ has the head shape for it and LeBron doesn’t (this is actually a huge factor for many in deciding whether to shave it off or not). Also, maybe MJ didn’t try to hold onto it because back then (in the 80s), they didn’t have the same options we have today. Rogain wasn’t a thing for hair yet, finasteride wasn’t either and hair transplants weren’t nearly as good as they are today. Modern hair transplants weren’t starting to be done until the 90s.

Many rich celebs do not like to boast about doing very expensive things that's hard to do for the average person and extensive hair transplants and plastic surgeries are extremely expensive
As someone with long hair whos corners are starting to thin. I’ve always thought about the possibility of cosmetic surgery. After watching your videos I think I’m ok with just shaving it all off tbh. I’m ok with being bald/looking forward to it. I don’t have that insecurity thankfully
My hair has been thinning little by little, but I think up keeping surgery and drugs would be waaaaaay too much effort and hassle. I'd rather just be bald, than fight a life long battle of maintaining hair. But if I had a had a switch that let none of us be bald, I'd hit it immediately.
Nah shave it off MJ did just too much work and the drugs could affect your health..even if you maintained it you get older and your hair gets thinner and turn gray looking like a brillo pad..cut it off..stay confident and healthy 🙂
I been bald for 3 years doesn’t bother me one bit don’t get me wrong every blue moon I look in the mirror and miss it but my wife don’t care I wouldn’t even if she did but it’s great she doesn’t lol
Dr. Gary, you're such a humble and knowledgeable person. I'm glad that I ran into your channel. I am learning so much about the different medical procedures you're commenting on. Thank you so much. You're informations are so valuable. I wish most of the doctors were as transparent and considerate to their patients as you are. God bless you.
@16:45 You talk about it being too low and should have focused more on density further back. I noticed John Travolta took that advice and it still didn't work for him.
You talking' about Lebron? His hairline (straight across) looks strange. The doctor, at 16:55, talks about it being too low. Plus, I'd bet the rent that Lebron uses a thickening spray on what hair he has.
Stop sympathizing with these shallow male creatures who put so much emphasis on visual aesthetics.Iam glad that THE GODDESS is humbling them since they are so shallow.

Good for you but I am not prepared to let my hair get to that point, I've been taking hair loss treatment, still have most of my hair and I intend to keep it that way.
Yeah that's cool that you conqured your fear of balding. But people seem to forget that rocking the baldy doesn't look good on everybody. I can't think of the actor who portrayed Vanessa Williams husband in the movie Soul Food. I remember that at one time he had a nice head of wavy hair. I have a feeling that once his hair fell out he wasn't able to get those leading man movie roles. Sadly, sometimes having hair really makes a huge difference in life.
Hi Dr. Gary. You make amazing and well explained content. I think you should definitely make a video on the difference between your clinic and clinics like hair of Istanbul (you don't have to use any names, you could just say foreign/cheaper clinics that use lots of donor hair in one operation). I'm 26, and although I haven't noticed any hair loss yet it's something I do think about and have researched. Your answer showed me why these foreign clinics aren't the answer, but plenty of people roughly my age don't realize that these clinics are exhausting your entire donor supply and will result in a very strange hair pattern later in life. You should talk about why a prospective patient should very strongly consider these clinics and why they aren't a great option for young men who are balding early.
Wow, I have been fascinated with Lebron's hairline for years. I was sure he did something but I didn't know what it was. Never saw someone go bald or lose so much hair then have such a defined hairline and thick then next moment is balding again and then its back. Thankyou for this video.
Apparently Lebron James spends over $1,000,000 each year for his diet, nutrition, and training to be on top shape, unfortunately all that couldn't save a balding, hairline recession. Be sure to consult your surgeon before taking on a hair transplant procedure because sometimes that underlying condition cannot be saved or covered up.
@@Writer341 regardless, genetics, stress, and everything else place a factor. If a hair transplant is something you want then just get it. It will be a bit of relief if it's something you'll dealing with.
Could he take some beard hairs it seems like he has great density in his beard? Obviously you don’t want to create a hairline out of beard hair, but couldn’t he use it to fill in the mid scalp and crown?
Hey Dr. L. Stumbled across your reaction vids when you got lumped into the music genre reactions. Thank gosh! At least I get relevant medical terms in an easily understood format. And being medicalphile (is that a thing?) I really enjoy some of the in depth explanations of technique. I wanted to be a Dr. or a kindergarten teacher growing up, till I found out I don't much enjoy screaming kids and then my mom told me about cadaver work in med school. I was in banking for 30 yrs, 😉. Keep 'em coming. Your honesty and educated opinions are appreciated. 👍🏻
Whenever I see FREE videos like this from any type of "REAL" Board Certified professional, It always makes me wonder Why didn't these Celebrities who can afford the BEST and most Expensive Doctors in the world recieve the same good advice from those doctors???
10:03 looks normal for a black man... crispy sharp lineups are the norm at 99% of barbershops on the black community. We don’t normally get hair cuts without a lineup.
@@MrMjolnir009 😂 nah that’s not going to make you a Norwood 1 - 7...!!!

I went to turkey for cosmetic surgery I got my dental implants done there and it was less than half the cost it would of been here in the U.K. I know a few people who have had hair transplants in turkey and they’ve all had really good results. Personally I’ve never liked having hair and I’ve been shaving my head since I was 20 even though I have no hair loss. Apparently male pattern baldness comes down the mothers side of the family and my grandad had a full head of hair when he died aged 99 and didn’t really have a lot of grey hair just round the sides.
I've watched it all, thank u guys for discussing this rather sensitive issue. Looks like it's a long way to get results. I am also balding prematurely, yet I have no options this side of the world (Africa).
I don't know which country in Africa you are from, but there are hair transplant surgeons in South Africa and the best ones in Kenya. Do your research.
There's actually an option! There are hair transplant clinics in Ethiopia and they are pretty cheap (around 1k USD for 2000-3000 grafts) my brothers went last year and got it! The results are amazing.
Yeah that's what I thought, the collision with the camera lens, my camera equipment is very robust and I certainly wouldn't like to hit any one with it. 🤣 Plus LeBron tends to sport short hair cuts, so FUT wouldn't be a great option if he wants to keep his procedure quiet, which he seems to do, as his scaring will contrast to his skin due to his complexion, even with FUE his scars are fairly noticeable
@@JohnDoe-rk7ej hey man some people just like having hair lol, it's just a simple as that. You know why? because they still wanna have sex with hot girls and have a good confindence on themselves instead of being bald and sad. If you wanna own the bald look then do it yourself but you'll need to hit the gym or else you wont get laid again because friendly reminder that not having hair means that you'll need to get some muscles to compensate the lack of attractiveness that is the hair alone, but dont come and call out someone just for wanting to have hair.
Steroid and HGH users often lose their hair in their hair beginning in their 20s. It's one of the most common side effects. What do people think "spending millions of dollars on his body every offseason" and "experimental European treatments" actually means?!
I love your channel, thank you for being so informative will definitely email you soon Doctor since I am close to begining my hair transplant journey. Have a great day ahead 😊
really wish high profile beloved people would be more open about this stuff. would be so helpful to others about shame and stuff. making it seem like he's some kind of god in hair density, even if he actually is in basketball
When Lebron's hair starts showing patchiness despite transplant procedures, could that possibly mean that he chose NOT to go with medical therapy in combination with procedures?
You are a legend! I love your videos, I got braids done and when I took it out after two weeks, I found a lot of trapped hair lmao, the trauma got me into your videos, planning for the future just in case
Why do people think athletes and public personalities have to reveal their grooming practices for the benefit of public consumption. If I want to know more about hair transplants I can go to a doctor who specializes in that. Lebron is not my go to for medical information and decisions.
Dr. Gary, new sub here and I hope you stay in business til I am in need of a hair transplant when I'm older. See you in hopefully in 20 or 30 yrs. I'll be looking forward for the free lunch
The scar he’s referring to isn’t from a hair transplant. That scar is from when Lebron crashed into a camera in 2015. I watched that game live. The vids are widely available. Not saying that he didn’t get some kind of transplant, just saying that scar is from the camera incident.
I looked it up and he definitely had stitches and the gash from the camera was in the same area, but he also stayed in the game and didn't get stitches until after the game, so it seems crazy that it would have left that pronounced of a scar. Yeah under closer inspection that scar is definitely from the camera incident.
You can also tell because when he talks about the barber who cuts his hair you can she the waves around his head sides and I’m sure the back but the thinning area on the top and crown are straight. I had the same problem that’s how I noticed. Thinning hair want create the wave design as much and a head full of hair.
Yes that is from the camera hitting him on the side of his head not the procedure scar, it was pictured during the game when they were able to stop the bleeding
Hi Doc.. I recently had my hair transplant around 2500 grades.. My question is, can I spray them or put minoxidil for them to grow faster and apply the same product on the crown area?
I’m not a doctor but from what I was told after my transplant you should avoid using minoxidil for the first 10 days post transplant. After the first 10 days using minoxidil on the transplanted area CAN help see some quicker regrowth but is not guaranteed to speed anything up.
I’ve only watched about two of your videos on hair, transplants, and even I thought that was a strange donor location around 7:00. You must be a really good teacher
Lebron being blessed with a Kyrie Irving/Paul George hairline would've meant he hit a second genetics lottery. But god had to humble him a bit, like "i'mma make one of the greatest basketball players ever but...

This. Underrated comment...having a full head of hair is worth so much to your confidence and day to day well being; people don't realize!
@@James_follows_Christ When in you 60s and beyond, the hair is going away anyway. But the money will give you a good life till death, medical bills and expensive and most people can't afford it.
@@Server16116 Do you want hair in your 70s, or Lebron money???
At 6'9", regular-sized people around him cannot really see the top of his head, so the front and sides are all that matters.
Great point.
It's for those overhead cams and the few times he bends down
I'm 6'2" and I can't see the top of his head.😣
If LeBron retires, I def think a hair transplant is a must. He'll have a lot of time to grow his hair and restore it.
Yes honesty is always the best! Great video again!
That scar on the side of his head definitely seems to be from the incident where he collides with the camera. There's pictures of the cuts to his head just after the incident and they match perfectly.
LeBron will find a way into the conversation no matter what 😂 .. Great video brother!👏🏾👏🏾
No he won’t lol

Dr. Gary can you please do a post on women thinning at the crown and widening parts and what there options are and possible costs and downtime?
Will do 👍🏼
Yes please.. Especially PCOS
I would like to see one on Lewis Hamilton, that's next level...
I thought Lewis' was (it is) and then I saw Andros Townsend (soccer/football player) and that looks incredible - would love to see videos on both!
Have to say, whoever did the job, really well done
i have alopecia areota as well, i admire your wisdom and confidence.
🙏
Yeah. He’s epic!!
Hair loss from alopecia areata could come back. I have it still after a year. Did it come back for you?
@@thecruize9034 yeah it sucks because it has came back a couple times throughout life but unfortunately I lost it again and it hasn't came back since. For me it has been a huge barrier, like people don't understand how a detail like hair loss can make you feel inadequate, plus other people don't wanna understand like I really went to war throughout my life. If there any tips or advice like as far as products and routines you try incorporate in your daily regimen that you think could help, feel free to share. ✌️☮️
@@ezrawatson7026 Yeaa same. Mine is a little spot on the top of the scalp. I regularly have to check if its covered up, because it looks really bad. I use steroid injections that my dermatalogist prescribed to me. The irritation and itchiness is gone, but no hair still. Im still waiting :(
Idk I always tell myself take good care of it and yourself and accept that this is a part of your life, and if people dont like it then fuck them. I mean what else is there to do. Hair transplant and finasteride? No thnx I'll go for a buzzcut and tell myself Im awesome!
Hope this helps man. And best of luck to us! :)
Dr.Gary you are so right; why not be upfront and honest to those who treasure them? It would be so helpful and gain more trust in fans.
Many rich celebs do not like to boast about doing very expensive things that's hard to do for the average person and extensive hair transplants and plastic surgeries are extremely expensive
As someone with long hair whos corners are starting to thin. I’ve always thought about the possibility of cosmetic surgery. After watching your videos I think I’m ok with just shaving it all off tbh. I’m ok with being bald/looking forward to it. I don’t have that insecurity thankfully
Go for the high hairline.
My hair has been thinning little by little, but I think up keeping surgery and drugs would be waaaaaay too much effort and hassle.
I'd rather just be bald, than fight a life long battle of maintaining hair.
But if I had a had a switch that let none of us be bald, I'd hit it immediately.
Nah shave it off MJ did just too much work and the drugs could affect your health..even if you maintained it you get older and your hair gets thinner and turn gray looking like a brillo pad..cut it off..stay confident and healthy 🙂
@@johnblack4915 Cut it off for sure. But where does disdain for gray hair come from?
I'd kill for gray hair.
I been bald for 3 years doesn’t bother me one bit don’t get me wrong every blue moon I look in the mirror and miss it but my wife don’t care I wouldn’t even if she did but it’s great she doesn’t lol
Dr. Gary, you're such a humble and knowledgeable person. I'm glad that I ran into your channel. I am learning so much about the different medical procedures you're commenting on. Thank you so much. You're informations are so valuable. I wish most of the doctors were as transparent and considerate to their patients as you are. God bless you.
I LOVE your videos, I'm starting to binge watch them like I do paternity court. Lol.

@@lovelyhope2664 Right! Sup cousin. 😂🤣
Hey cousin!
I am here for the ASMR affect of Dr. Linkov's voice
@16:45 You talk about it being too low and should have focused more on density further back. I noticed John Travolta took that advice and it still didn't work for him.
That scar came from him hitting his head on a camera
Exactly what we thought!
I think whoever did his hair did a hell of a job and it looks great on him. Ladies love it.
Ladies Love his status and money. He isn't a pretty dude.. should shave his head, no need to have hair when u are one of the greatest athletes ever.
is this a joke?
You talking' about Lebron? His hairline (straight across) looks strange. The doctor, at 16:55, talks about it being too low. Plus, I'd bet the rent that Lebron uses a thickening spray on what hair he has.
Rihanna sure does
He has sowed on prosthesis. Not a transplant
Awww, it's so nice that men are doing things to make themselves feel comfortable in their own skin
I agree!
Stop sympathizing with these shallow male creatures who put so much emphasis on visual aesthetics.Iam glad that THE GODDESS is humbling them since they are so shallow.

My hair was the same way , starting balding @ the crown to the front and my hair was super thick on the sides …I did the whole fiber thing and low fades for a while until the homies and my wife was like just go bald bro ….I was scared at first like mannnnn what’s everyone gonna say and all the BS …until I woke up just tired of trying to even it out and getting a cut every other week and it just looked trash …finally had my barber bald me up and it was the best choice ever then I shaved on my own let go of the insecurities and safe yourself ! When it’s time it’s time , Rock the 👨🏼🦲 baldy
Damn, you were scared to go bald. Congrats on conquering the fear.
@@wiljohn2011 yea I was @ first until my wife kinda told me to me to and I woke up and was like fuck it let’s do it basically but ty , that was about 2 years ago
Good for you but I am not prepared to let my hair get to that point, I've been taking hair loss treatment, still have most of my hair and I intend to keep it that way.
@@shaneterhune9627 you could have taken all your beard hair and put it on top. Glad you’re happy though!
Yeah that's cool that you conqured your fear of balding. But people seem to forget that rocking the baldy doesn't look good on everybody. I can't think of the actor who portrayed Vanessa Williams husband in the movie Soul Food. I remember that at one time he had a nice head of wavy hair. I have a feeling that once his hair fell out he wasn't able to get those leading man movie roles. Sadly, sometimes having hair really makes a huge difference in life.
Hi Dr. Gary. You make amazing and well explained content. I think you should definitely make a video on the difference between your clinic and clinics like hair of Istanbul (you don't have to use any names, you could just say foreign/cheaper clinics that use lots of donor hair in one operation). I'm 26, and although I haven't noticed any hair loss yet it's something I do think about and have researched. Your answer showed me why these foreign clinics aren't the answer, but plenty of people roughly my age don't realize that these clinics are exhausting your entire donor supply and will result in a very strange hair pattern later in life. You should talk about why a prospective patient should very strongly consider these clinics and why they aren't a great option for young men who are balding early.
Thanks Lucas! Check out my video on hair transplants in Turkey. I think it has what you’re referring to.
Wow, I have been fascinated with Lebron's hairline for years. I was sure he did something but I didn't know what it was. Never saw someone go bald or lose so much hair then have such a defined hairline and thick then next moment is balding again and then its back. Thankyou for this video.
Get a life it’s not that’s serious!!
@@dstarkspp CTFU says ur response

@@Comeswoopfam sup bro
Apparently Lebron James spends over $1,000,000 each year for his diet, nutrition, and training to be on top shape, unfortunately all that couldn't save a balding, hairline recession. Be sure to consult your surgeon before taking on a hair transplant procedure because sometimes that underlying condition cannot be saved or covered up.
Funny how no one wants to talk about steroids in sports. Many of these athletes lose hair due to steroids and other banned substances.
@@Writer341 regardless, genetics, stress, and everything else place a factor. If a hair transplant is something you want then just get it. It will be a bit of relief if it's something you'll dealing with.
Could he take some beard hairs it seems like he has great density in his beard? Obviously you don’t want to create a hairline out of beard hair, but couldn’t he use it to fill in the mid scalp and crown?
Yes! Excellent point.
@@drgarylinkov If they did that will he have cheek scars ??
Found your videos on a whim. I just had an fue procedure yesterday. 2500 grafts. I’ve watched 87% of your videos already. Very informative. Thank you
Hey Dr. L. Stumbled across your reaction vids when you got lumped into the music genre reactions. Thank gosh! At least I get relevant medical terms in an easily understood format. And being medicalphile (is that a thing?) I really enjoy some of the in depth explanations of technique. I wanted to be a Dr. or a kindergarten teacher growing up, till I found out I don't much enjoy screaming kids and then my mom told me about cadaver work in med school. I was in banking for 30 yrs, 😉. Keep 'em coming. Your honesty and educated opinions are appreciated. 👍🏻
Thanks!
Whenever I see FREE videos like this from any type of "REAL" Board Certified professional, It always makes me wonder Why didn't these Celebrities who can afford the BEST and most Expensive Doctors in the world recieve the same good advice from those doctors???
Celebrities sometimes don’t do extensive research on which doctor to choose, they usually go with whom their agents/friends in close circle recommend.
That scar is from an injury in the playoffs
lies
Not a lie at all. I saw him get that cut live in the 2015 Finals.
Crashed into the camera guy on the sideline.
@@TheGeorgeD13 I was the camera guy
@@3rdJose ok
10:03 looks normal for a black man... crispy sharp lineups are the norm at 99% of barbershops on the black community. We don’t normally get hair cuts without a lineup.
Those crispy sharp lineups might be the thing contributing to premature hairline recession - later down the road... just a thought.
He’s speaking on the sudden density and reduced texture of his hair not just his lineup
Yeah white people don't know about that
@@MrMjolnir009 😂 nah that’s not going to make you a Norwood 1 - 7...!!! This is exactly what I’m talking about... there’s NO MAGICAL BLACK steel that stunts the growth of black hair.🤣 Hey don’t you shave everyday since you were 15? Does your hair grow back? And don’t you use a razor of some sort!
It’s the style I’m referring to and with SMP it doesn’t matter anyway we’re all balding here... so it’s all about the look.😎
That does not look normal at all.
I think Lebron is the type of guy that would look great bald. Tall and muscular physique with all the tats he has...he would look COLD🔥
He tried it and it looked weird
Finasteride is a banned substance in professional sports. That's probably why it kept progressing
Blows my mind that the nba still allows so many people to be on the court. Especially under the net
Wym ?
You literally schooled Matt (who also produces excellent content !). Great job Dr. Gary.
I wonder how this Doc hairline looks like. He always has a hat ON. Plus, celebrities aren't entitled to tell others if they had surgery or not. It's a personal choice
@@edobwoy he's got alopecia so he's completely bald but just because he has no hair doesn't mean he isn't knowledgeable, after all he is a certified doctor.
@@user-os7wd3yv8v My issue is him stating that celebrities should tell people if they do surgery or not. WTF is that? Celebrities are human just like us and they aren't obligated to talk about their personal lives if they don't want to.
@@edobwoy "celebrities are human like us" your words.
Now as a human being that the doctor is, he is open about the steps he has taken to try and salvage his hair, and so do many other people... so what were you saying about celebrities being humans again?
@@sneak9407 read my comments again and comprehend.
Watching him make out a grade two buzz cut into a fade is some work of art is hilarious 😂
Can you react to people using derma rollers on their hairline
I went to turkey for cosmetic surgery I got my dental implants done there and it was less than half the cost it would of been here in the U.K. I know a few people who have had hair transplants in turkey and they’ve all had really good results. Personally I’ve never liked having hair and I’ve been shaving my head since I was 20 even though I have no hair loss. Apparently male pattern baldness comes down the mothers side of the family and my grandad had a full head of hair when he died aged 99 and didn’t really have a lot of grey hair just round the sides.
The scar is from when he hit his head on a camera 🎥 during an NBA game so the scar is from that
That’s what I thought 👍🏼
He doesn't have transplant ,that's a male wig
@@jelinpaul7744 yes he does those are clearly fue scars

You and Matt should do a collab live stream or something. I enjoy watching both your videos, very informative.
Thanks!
I love your videos, your speaking style, your technical and not particularly judgmental take. Don't change. BTW please do Dolly Parton.
I've watched it all, thank u guys for discussing this rather sensitive issue. Looks like it's a long way to get results. I am also balding prematurely, yet I have no options this side of the world (Africa).
I don't know which country in Africa you are from, but there are hair transplant surgeons in South Africa and the best ones in Kenya. Do your research.
@@IaNoZ01 how much in Africa?
Yellow onion 🤫
Watch “holes”
There's actually an option! There are hair transplant clinics in Ethiopia and they are pretty cheap (around 1k USD for 2000-3000 grafts) my brothers went last year and got it! The results are amazing.
Yeah that's what I thought, the collision with the camera lens, my camera equipment is very robust and I certainly wouldn't like to hit any one with it. 🤣 Plus LeBron tends to sport short hair cuts, so FUT wouldn't be a great option if he wants to keep his procedure quiet, which he seems to do, as his scaring will contrast to his skin due to his complexion, even with FUE his scars are fairly noticeable
👍🏼
What's his complexion
@@jimmyballer192 Dark skin complexion (fair, medium and dark)
@@jimmyballer192 😳
One thing Lebron has going for him is that he's always looked 40 for the last 20+ years. I wonder what he'll look like when he actually turns 40.
Like he does right now,since he is 38 this year,and is now a billionaire and STILL playing High level ball
He’s not 40???
21:00 thumbs up for that random DBZ scene

@@JohnDoe-rk7ej hey man some people just like having hair lol, it's just a simple as that. You know why? because they still wanna have sex with hot girls and have a good confindence on themselves instead of being bald and sad. If you wanna own the bald look then do it yourself but you'll need to hit the gym or else you wont get laid again because friendly reminder that not having hair means that you'll need to get some muscles to compensate the lack of attractiveness that is the hair alone, but dont come and call out someone just for wanting to have hair.

Steroid and HGH users often lose their hair in their hair beginning in their 20s. It's one of the most common side effects. What do people think "spending millions of dollars on his body every offseason" and "experimental European treatments" actually means?!

Being loosing my hair since 15, now in Canada , making plans to go for a prp. It was hell for me back in secondary school and High school
When Lebron's hair starts showing patchiness despite transplant procedures, could that possibly mean that he chose NOT to go with medical therapy in combination with procedures?
LeBron James, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos...goes to show you that all the money in the world don't mean shit when it comes to male pattern hair loss.
Except Elon looks normal now. Because he had the money to keep improving it. For now anyway.
Musk looks good
The video thumbnails get me everytime.
I'll tell you another one. Jamie Foxx is the same. His hairline keeps advancing. Its ridiculous. Looks crazy
This is very impressive. I think it's fascinating LeBrons hair looks so amazing what a masterpiece
Like a carpet
Its honestly weird how they haven’t come up with a simple solution
If I'm not mistaken that scar has been in Bron Bron's head...
He stopped wearing a headband so his shirt grew
Your commentary, evaluation of Lebron's journey and your advice I think is spot on. If I ever decide to do hair transplant I will come see you.
Lol just let it go when it's time.... If u have facial hair u still good
Hey Doc, i hope that you can react to Mike Thurson’s hair transplant video
Will add to list
You are a legend! I love your videos, I got braids done and when I took it out after two weeks, I found a lot of trapped hair lmao, the trauma got me into your videos, planning for the future just in case
The Doctor looks like Private Joker from Full Metal Jacket lol
He wears a hair piece too though, it slid off in a game.
Post link to clip please
Why do people think athletes and public personalities have to reveal their grooming practices for the benefit of public consumption. If I want to know more about hair transplants I can go to a doctor who specializes in that. Lebron is not my go to for medical information and decisions.
Exactly! That’s the man’s own business.
At least he makes enough to have the surgeon to come over his house for the surgery no problem
Awesome info and great use of Goku!
Great content! Thanks, Dr. Gary.
Dr. Gary, new sub here and I hope you stay in business til I am in need of a hair transplant when I'm older. See you in hopefully in 20 or 30 yrs. I'll be looking forward for the free lunch

Lebron wears a toupee in the front sometimes with a headband
He's becoming Carlos Boozer
The scar he’s referring to isn’t from a hair transplant. That scar is from when Lebron crashed into a camera in 2015. I watched that game live. The vids are widely available. Not saying that he didn’t get some kind of transplant, just saying that scar is from the camera incident.
He overdoes it so hard with the hair fibers. It just looks pitch black. It's okay to not be a Norwood 0 at his age.
I think since he hangs around a lot with Drake, that he wishes he had his hairline
Most celebrities don’t care about us. Goku going Super Saiyan three🤣 to strong lol.
I looked it up and he definitely had stitches and the gash from the camera was in the same area, but he also stayed in the game and didn't get stitches until after the game, so it seems crazy that it would have left that pronounced of a scar. Yeah under closer inspection that scar is definitely from the camera incident.
i was thinking the same thing
You can also tell because when he talks about the barber who cuts his hair you can she the waves around his head sides and I’m sure the back but the thinning area on the top and crown are straight. I had the same problem that’s how I noticed. Thinning hair want create the wave design as much and a head full of hair.
Please do Tyga!
FOR REEEAAAALL!! im here thinking no waaay can those braids be real
Yes that is from the camera hitting him on the side of his head not the procedure scar, it was pictured during the game when they were able to stop the bleeding
Hi Doc.. I recently had my hair transplant around 2500 grades.. My question is, can I spray them or put minoxidil for them to grow faster and apply the same product on the crown area?
I’m not a doctor but from what I was told after my transplant you should avoid using minoxidil for the first 10 days post transplant. After the first 10 days using minoxidil on the transplanted area CAN help see some quicker regrowth but is not guaranteed to speed anything up.
3 weeks after the transplant patients can resume minoxidil in my practice. But you should talk to your surgeon about their protocol.
@@drgarylinkov Can I put the minoxidil as well on the transplanted area doc besides the other areas of concern? Your feedback is much appreciated.
I’ve only watched about two of your videos on hair, transplants, and even I thought that was a strange donor location around 7:00.
You must be a really good teacher
