A Conversation With The Founder Of Hair Transplants

[@akbarnaqvi4737]

Doctor Rassman is such a kind man, he provides a free consultation for people simply for emailing him and is constantly active on reddit answering questions for people going through hair loss and considering hair transplants. Don't think anyone so accomplished has donated more of their time to the average person.

[@bethb.6813]

I am just so happy to see your own head growing hair. After all you've done for others, it is great to see you doing so well.

[@steve9189]

Thank you for interviewing Dr. Rassman. He's a legend and is still going strong.

[@MoldyBreadWorld]

I really appreciate this interview. This had shifted my considerations of seeking treatment overseas to really sitting down and studying surgeons with general surgical backgrounds than simply those “specialized in hair transplant surgery”. I sure hope this conversation includes women’s hair transplants too as I understand our considerations vary differently from male patterned hair loss

[@averagerussian6954]

I just want to remark what a huge journey dr.Gary went through and what an amazing milestone this interview is. Thank you for all the education that you've been putting out for the past several years, it really helped me to start pushing back on my hair loss. I hope some day soon i'll start making enough money to fly from Russia to the NYS and finally get a transplant in the City facial plastics clinic. Ещё раз огромное спасибо за вашу работу и привет вам из Санкт-Петербурга)

I did not think I was going to be able to finish listening all the way to end, but I kept listening and Dr. Gary carried conversation well and Dr. Rassman with vast knowledge and experience made it interesting to listen. Thank you for such a educational video.

[@momomimi5853]

wow... that is extremely educational. what an interview not to mention the interviewer and the interviewee top notch. Thank you doctor Rassman for your honest opinion and insight about FUE etc...all the content in this interview is beneficial for anyone considering FUE.

[@padraigdarcy942]

Thank you for such a fascinating, insightful and intelligently crafted interview Doctor Gary. Very interesting on many levels and very positive for the (near) future of hair loss treatment and therapy. Doctor Rassman was so articulate and generous in this conversation. Thank you for all your videos Dr. Gary.

This is a great interview. I find it very informative and I love Dr. Rassman. He’s every patients dream Dr. He really cares about his patients and about making sure patients get the best information out there to help them select what’s best for them.

[@drgarylinkov]

Agreed!

[@Rezparviz]

@@drgarylinkovdo you remember the name Robert Micheal Elliott from Elliott and True ? Dr Elliott is my Dr and good friend . He is not well right now dealing with Lung issues .

[@hmdwn]

Holy crap... I read on his own website that a consultation alone with Dr Gary is $500.00!😳 I'm wondering if that fee alone is to separate the time wasters vs the clients that are actually willing to spent upwards of $50,000 for a transplant or not.

[@philosophyandalltherestont3061]

Sounds like the standard fee for a top expert nowadays

[@shawnmika9275]

I really appreciate this interview. I've been following the hair loss industry for a while. I tried finasteride over 5 years ago, however, I had side effects and developed stomach issues and allergic reactions to certain foods. I stopped finasteride after a few months. I've been patiently waiting for new treatments to be developed.

[@miriamorwin7603]

Dr Rothman you are an incredible doctor = yes see one bro one teach one = not really adequate.

[@loumanotti]

By far the most informative and refreshing hair transplant video thus far. A compass on the map of hair transplantation.❤

[@mre.8886]

What an amazing interview. I got FUT from an elite surgeon on the west coast. I will be seeing you in the future Dr. Linkov for an eyebrow resotoration. Ive done my research :)

​​@drgarylinkov Please do a video about ways to address double chin and chubby jowls in younger people (20 to 30 years old). Can you talk about the FaceTite procedure with the InMode radio-frequency device combined with liposuction? I am 25 years old and a plastic surgeon and also a dermatologist proposed this solution to me but I am not sure: InMode FaceTite + liposuction + Morpheus 8 (all combined in one session). This is getting very popular in my country (Romania). I have a normal weight but I have a genetic duble chin and chubby jowls, I would like a more defined jaw with no double chin. I don't know if there are any good ways to achieve that which are not damaging in the long term.

[@MsPaulisa]

@@maalikserebryakov I am already skinny (as I said in my original comment). If I lose more weight I will be underweight. I am 158 cm (5 ft 2) and I weight 52 kg (114 lbs). At one point I did weight 48 kg (105 lbs) and I still had double chin and chubby jowls.

[@Goodhello369]

This is amazing. Worth the listen.

[@FaithAloneUK]

Thank you for all your videos. Can you possibly tackle and provide photos of things that can go wrong with vertical restore. I’ve heard about ‘lazy lip’ The lower lip reacting unevenly for a while. I think being open, helps people feel informed and empowered.

[@FilmGuyJ]

Wow. He did mine through NHI in 96.

[@tehmightymo]

This was a great watch! You seemed really thrilled to be talking to him as well!

[@tixie88]

Although I appreciate all of Dr Gary's videos, I was not expecting to enjoy this as much as I did! Wow! 😃 This Dr Rassman is an amazing human being! I got such respect and admiration for him through this! His willingness to admit any shortcomings in the technology is such a trust building quality. And his humor is on point! 😂 Thank you for this, Dr. Gary! Very informative and entertaining.

[@sparkden]

it was always a thought of me as to how it all began and now you got to interview the doctor who started it all! great share! thank you to the genius and to Dr Gary for making this possible & by the way happy to see you got your hair back (I must be missing out on quite a few videos but never mind!)

[@PerfectHairHealth]

Loved watching this. Thank you Dr. Linkov and Dr. Rassman!

[@ron101346]

Correction: the founder of hair transplants was Dr. Norman Orentreich, back in 1959. I know, I had a few "plugs" in the crown area done by him in 1980. But FUE was a great advancement and made hair transplants more natural and acceptable.

[@lizinnyc]

Extremely educational - thank you both for doing this!

[@xxo5294]

This is an incredible video, thank you for this interview! I wish there was more focus on the fear of finasteride due to gynecomastia and gynecomastia recurrence after surgery rather than PSF as gynecomastia is a visible possible side effect. no one ever cares to talk about this 😢 it’s my only reason for not taking it yet

[@BrittanyStewart-ni4sc]

I wasn't aware that ones balding could be reversed through medical therapy. I am aware of it preventing further loss. What medication is able to possibly reverse balding?

[@Samuel-im8mj]

Dr. Linkov, I am sure you have been following the updates on verteporfin, would you be open to start trials with it too?

[@michaelphillips8670]

Thank you, wonderful informative interview!

[@anthonym9130]

One important point regarding fue vs fut reality is that fue besides being more in demand is also more profitable for most clinics charging more and the ability to have technicians remove grafts allowing more surgeries to be done in one day. Starting with FUT will give greater graft yield over lifetime besides obtaining hair from best donor zone.

[@migostrigos5436]

Nah fut is trash several reason why no one really usses it besides feller and bloxham.

[@anthonym9130]

@@migostrigos5436 I have done both with FUE first actually. Result was better with FUT. FUT is not trash especially with those with heavy hair loss as you get more grafts overall from donor area.

Hi dr. Gary, love your work and learning a lot. Can you do a post on eyelash serums, do they promote growth. Here in the UK a product called uklash is popular. What are the key ingredients to look for? Thanks Sue

Dear Drs. can you please give your thoughts on hair cloning please .

[@glgl1472]

I've met this good doctor in person decades ago he just looks different now because he's had a lot of plastic surgery but you know I wasn't overly impressed I saw him as first a businessman trying to make money with the person as a patient and the didactics of the hair growth actually just coming second some people put the con in confidence

[@oliverpetroski4205]

The issue regarding the hair transplant and hair loss treatment in my country is that lots of "specialists" are just after your money while giving you a short term results. I've seen plenty of people who did hair transplant surgery and after few months the hair falls off without any regrow. And the surgery costs a lot more than the living standards. Doc, is there a way to contact you regarding a hair issue?

[@TVGGAMEZCO]

Doctor GL rules. Thanks for bringing all this great info to our eyes and ears, and scalp.

[@mackmckay588]

Amazing video very informative thank you

[@averagerussian6954]

Hi, dr GL! I'm sure you've been following the recent interest in the veteporfin in the hairloss community. Would you be open to start your own trials with it? And even if not, I'm sure we all would be very interested to hear your thoughts about this medication

[@ZukoTheShinigami]

[@dphotos007]

I am in my 60’s and the newer drugs would never work on me. I have Crohn’s Disease and I had a full head of hair at age 18 and right after my first major resection surgery I lost all my hair in 6 months. My first surgery had complications with a major infection and I ended up staying in the hospital for 6 weeks in a special room where everyone visiting has to wear a paper suit and a mask. This was in 1975. That was very traumatic losing my hair at that age. Being made fun of really hurt too at that age. I am lucky there is a drug called Humira and it stopped my Crohn’s from doing damage to my small intestine but this was after three major resection surgeries. I started taking Humira in 2008 so it has been 15 years and there has been no sign of my Crohn’s after 6 colonoscopies. I wonder if my Crohn’s and infection was the cause of me losing my hair so fast. Great interview by the way. The doctor sounded like a very smart man. I wonder if he is working on inventing newer clean energy patients.

[@yepyep111]

Dr. Rassman mentioned the potential future 2 hour FUE with one assistant up to 3000 grafts, will this dramatically decrease the cost of the procedure itself and by how much if you had to guess? Thanks.

[@King_Cooler64]

Super cool interview.

[@Faladaena]

Could Bimatoprost (the component in Glaucoma eyedrops, which showed to grow longer and fuller eyelashes as a side-effect) be a potential remedy against hairloss and/or baldness too?? I mean, hairfollicles are hairfollicles, right? I realize that the therapeutic amount will greatly differ and consequently make treatments pretty pricey (for us mere mortals) but I'm sure you could afford it; alternatively, being a licensed doctor, you can probably get yourself a regular prescription from a befriended ophthalmologist [wink wink, nudge nudge]😁), surely it would be worth trying? PS: I'm glad for you that you're growing back your hair but, tbh, I liked you better before (not everyone looks good without their hair, but *you* do): Just my 2-cents...😉

Might be Dr. Jerry Wong

[@tomaszkiryk556]

Mine was Mulholland at Spa Medica in Yorkville. Looking back at it now, it was pretty well done as FUE was still pretty young, the hair was dense. I just wasn't told about Finasteride. Probably a good thing at 27.@@dr.ramonakelemen7800

[@QBeeZzZy]

Is it true about 20 seconds it is time for graft to die already?

[@drgarylinkov]

If it’s dry yes it’s possible

[@susername]

Sadly I believe that 99% of clinics offering hair transplants do see the customer as a source of income rather then think of him as a long term patient.

[@JetPackFlame]

The hypothesised mechanism behind PFS is epi-genetic changes, particularly to the androgen receptor. There are already articles about this. Why is this never discussed when you bring up the condition?

[@lw4423]

Why are people not researching better synthetic hair (that doesn't give people infection)? Seems like possibly a more feasible problem to solve than hair cloning.

[@HairTransplantReal-ks2ft]

I don't remember reading anything positive about this doctor over the last 40 years. As far as FUE is concerned Dr. Woods out of Australia is the true pioneer much to the resistance of the industry as it could not adopt it fast enough nor could it compete with the ease/profit of FUT. The whole industry is based on math which is not going to work for most unless expectations are not very high. This is hard to find with those most desperate when hair loss first strikes which would be the young. But that doesn't stop most of these doctors from not fully explaining the math. I have not put too much work into my own YT channel but I will at some point. There are not enough warnings out there with so many marketers making money. I believe I am the first hair transplant patient who wrote a book that covers the industry & some of its history. I am not pushing it but it's out there "Hair Transplant Real" What a horrific industry that has destroyed countless lives. Most have no idea. The book was cathartic. It took me decades to get around to it but I knew someone had to put it out there. Thanks.

This is a good interview and the hair loss world needs more quality information. Much of the hair loss info is total garbage. Also, I get frustrated with talks on post finasteride syndrome and side effect reporting in medicine in general. I took this drug for a year and have permanent damage of my libido among other things. Ive talked to many men with similar issues.

[@digipixle6343]

@@maalikserebryakov Finasteride is known to potentially cause sexual side effects, but it does not affect every single user in this way. All we’ll structured clinical trials and studies show a range of incidence rates for these side effects, and they are typically not permanent for the majority of users. There is a lot of brush over from PCPs about this issue and it’s poor practice to not be more informed about this with your patients. This does not change the fact that these symptoms only occur in a minority of those who are prescribed the drug, regardless of how many users on Reddit forums would angrily tell you otherwise, because they refuse to believe they just got unlucky.
