About Linkov Hair Surgery
Linkov Hair Surgery, a premier hair restoration clinic in the heart of New York City. Founded by Dr. Gary Linkov, a distinguished and double board-certified facial plastic and hair restoration surgeon, the clinic has established itself as a leader in the field of hair restoration. Dr. Linkov's impressive credentials include an Ivy League education from Cornell University and Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he honed his skills and developed a deep understanding of aesthetic principles. His double board certification by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery is a distinction held by only a select group of surgeons nationwide, reflecting his unparalleled commitment to excellence and patient care. This level of training and expertise is foundational to Linkov Hair Surgery's exceptional reputation for innovation in hair loss solutions. The clinic offers a comprehensive suite of advanced hair restoration techniques that are meticulously tailored to each patient's unique needs and circumstances. Among the most sought-after procedures are Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) and Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), both of which are regarded as the gold standards in hair transplantation. FUE is celebrated for its minimally invasive approach, allowing for precise harvesting of hair follicles without the need for a linear scar, while FUT can be advantageous for patients requiring larger grafts. Beyond traditional hair transplants, Linkov Hair Surgery also specializes in a range of other procedures including hairline advancement, eyebrow and beard hair transplants, and an array of non-surgical treatments such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, laser therapy, and cutting-edge exosome therapy. This wide array of services ensures that patients receive a customized treatment plan designed to achieve the most natural-looking and long-lasting results, addressing various forms of hair loss and thinning. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and provides a comfortable, welcoming environment for all patients. Every detail is designed to enhance the patient experience, from the initial consultation to post-operative care. Dr. Linkov’s approach is characterized by compassion and attentiveness, ensuring that every patient feels heard and understood throughout their journey. This patient-centered philosophy is reflected in the clinic’s stellar ratings on Google and other review platforms, where individuals frequently highlight the professional and compassionate staff, the personalized care they received from Dr. Linkov, and the transformative results that have rekindled their confidence. Dr. Linkov's contributions to the field of hair restoration have been recognized through various accolades and media features, including an appearance on the Dr. Oz Show, further solidifying his reputation as a thought leader in the industry. He is an active member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ISHRS), a global non-profit medical association and the leading authority on hair loss treatment and restoration. This commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry ensures that patients at Linkov Hair Surgery benefit from the latest advancements and techniques in hair restoration. Located conveniently in Manhattan, Linkov Hair Surgery is easily accessible to patients from the greater New York area and beyond, offering a world-class experience for those seeking to restore not just their hair, but their confidence as well.

2805 FUE hair transplant (single session) to crown. Contrary to what some say online, crown hair restoration definitely works. But when you start with a large completely bare area, it can consume a lot of grafts to create density. Here you see a great example of that, we made excellent progress and he might be returning for another procedure to further bolster density. Notice how nicely the profile contour now looks.
1654 FUE hair transplant (single session) to hairline. He chose not to include the temples in the design. His result is dense and natural.
This patient previously had two hair transplants elsewhere - one FUT and one FUE. He was unhappy with the pluggy look and the unnatural hairline design. We performed a 2100 FUE hair transplant (single session) to the hairline to make it look more natural. He is shown 1 year after his procedure with us.
1906 FUE hair transplant (single session) to hairline. We created an awesome linear result for him. He is shown at 1 year post op.
2300 FUE hair transplant (single session) to hairline and coronal scar. She previously had a hairline lowering procedure and was unhappy with the scar and hairline shape. We were able to create a more natural feminine hairline for her. She is shown at 1 year post op.
This patient came to us with longstanding alopecia areata in a stable pattern. We performed a 1500 FUE hair transplant (single session) to the frontal scalp. He is shown at 1 year post op.

FUE • 1800 Grafts • 16mo post-op
Solid clinic, good results
Had my FUE procedure (1800 grafts) at Linkov Hair Surgery about 16 months ago. The lead surgeon was very experienced and took time to explain each step. The facility was professional and clean. Procedure took about 5-6 hours. Results are good — not perfect, but definitely a massive improvement. The hairline looks natural and density is decent. I might consider a small touch-up session in the future for the crown area, but overall I'm happy. The total came to $12,400 including everything — hard to beat that price.Communication could have been a bit better during the recovery phase but the results make up for it.
Pros
- + Clean facility
- + Painless procedure
- + Good aftercare
- + Follow-up included
Cons
- − Price was higher than quoted
FUE • 4500 Grafts • 7mo post-op
Best decision I ever made
Where do I even start? I researched clinics for over a year before choosing Linkov Hair Surgery and I'm so glad I did. The lead surgeon was very experienced and took time to explain each step. Had 4500 grafts FUE done and the results have been phenomenal. The facility was clean and modern, staff was friendly and attentive. Recovery was smoother than expected — I was back to work in about a week. 7 months in and my hair looks better than it did in my twenties. My confidence is through the roof. At $11,200, it was a fraction of what I was quoted back home.If you're on the fence, just do it.
Pros
- + Hotel arranged
- + Doctor-led procedure
