Unable to close my mouth with my teeth and gums constantly exposed to air at 4 months post op Horrible experience. My biggest regret trusting Dr Garry Linkov. He removed way too much skin from my philtrum leaving me unable to close my mouth with my teeth and gums constantly exposed to air at 4 months post op. This has greatly affected my ability to eat drink and speak properly. I asked for my lips to be everted out and showed him some pictures of the lip shape I like. The photos were closed lips no teeth showing. My philtrum... read more

Inconsiderate placement of scar - assymmetrical on both sides & highly visible My liplift scar was placed way outside the nasal contours. It's 5 mm under the nose and is assymetrical on both sides. The scar sits almost in the middle of the face and is highly visible. I'm going with another surgeon for the revision surgery. Healing well, but the scar will always be noticeable. Currently, it shows through silicone scar gel and makeup. The scar topography is high, it won't blend in with your skin. Definitely, a revision surgery... read more

I had been unhappy with my upper lip and philtrum area for a while. I finally made the difficult decision to have the lip lift procedure done. So I met with a few plastic surgeons. None instilled the confidence to trust them with my surgery. However, after meeting Dr Linkov I knew he was the right doctor for me. He has a very pleasant, calming way about him. He did not suggest multiple...

It was a great experience. Doctor Gary has both skill and kindness. Very pleased with the results. I look like a better version of me. It takes a few months to heal but with everyone wearing masks this is not a problem

Dr. Gary Linkov is the best doctor I’ve ever had (not just for hair transplants, but overall derm-related advice). He is thoughtful, kind, and takes a true interest in his patients’ health and needs. I’m happy to say that Dr. Linkov and I remain friends even post operation – he is always a phone call or text away should I need anything. FWIW, I spent years looking for a solution to thinning hair – at the end of my research (and many upsetting interactions with other doctors), Dr. Linkov was the one I’m glad I ended up with. ... read more

Three years ago, I finally had a rhinoplasty. My nose was always something that had always bothered me and I would hyper focus on it, to that point that I finally decided to correct it. I did my research and trusted a friend (who is a plastic surgeon and had her rhinoplasty done by this doctor). The entire experience was terrible and I didn’t receive the result that I wanted. In fact, I looked worse and ended up with “issues” that weren’t there originally. When I confronted the doctor at my follow up appointments, I was told... read more
