Hair Transplant — FUE & Surgical Hairline Advancement

City Facial Plastics offers FUE hair transplantation, FUT strip surgery, surgical hairline advancement, and scalp micropigmentation performed by Dr. Gary Linkov in Manhattan. The practice uses the WAW FUE system with Devroye oscillating mode to minimise transection and maximise graft survival. Donor hair can be harvested from the scalp, eyebrows, beard, or body. No-shave FUE is available at higher cost. Pricing is per graft, typically $5–$8 per graft for standard scalp FUE in New York City.

City Facial Plastics in Midtown Manhattan takes a surgical subspecialty approach to hair restoration. Dr. Gary Linkov's background in head and neck surgery and facial plastics positions the practice differently from standalone hair clinics: each patient's hairline design is analysed in the context of overall facial proportion, and surgical options are considered alongside medical and non-surgical management. FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) is the primary surgical technique. Individual follicular units are extracted directly from the donor area using the WAW FUE system in Devroye oscillating mode, which uses a controlled oscillating rather than spinning motion to reduce graft trauma and transection rates. Extracted grafts are then placed at recipient sites designed to replicate natural hair direction, angle, and density. Donor sites heal within days without a linear scar, leaving the scalp fully shaved-head-viable. FUT (Follicular Unit Transplantation) remains available for patients who need maximum graft yield in a single session or prefer to keep certain hair lengths. A strip of scalp is removed from the permanent donor zone, dissected under magnification into individual follicular units, then transplanted. The linear donor scar is concealed by surrounding hair at normal lengths. Surgical hairline advancement is offered for patients — particularly women — with a high or wide hairline who want to lower or reshape it through direct excision and re-anchoring, rather than graft-dependent regrowth. Scalp micropigmentation is a cosmetic tattooing technique that replicates the appearance of a closely cropped hairline or fills in diffuse thinning. Results last three to five years and require periodic touch-up. No-shave FUE is available for patients who cannot shave their donor area; harvesting is slower but avoids visible short-term evidence of the procedure. Non-surgical adjuncts including minoxidil, finasteride, PRP therapy, low-level laser therapy, and nutraceuticals (Viviscal, Nutrafol) are integrated into treatment plans where appropriate. The practice is located at 150 East 56th Street in Midtown Manhattan, accessible by subway from all main lines.
