Services
Hair Transplant
Hair transplant procedures address hair loss through advanced techniques like FUE and FUT. Ideal for men and women seeking natural hair regrowth, this service includes body hair transplants and surgical hairline advancement. The practice offers personalized consultations to determine the best approach for each patient's unique needs.
Lip Lift
The Elelyft lip lift shortens the distance between the nose and upper lip, enhancing lip visibility and fullness. This in-office procedure provides permanent results, ideal for patients seeking subtle yet impactful facial rejuvenation without fillers. Dr. Linkov's technique prioritizes natural contours and symmetry.
Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty reshapes the nose for cosmetic or functional improvements. Dr. Linkov specializes in both aesthetic enhancements and structural corrections to improve airflow. The procedure addresses congenital defects, trauma, or age-related changes while maintaining facial harmony.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma therapy stimulates hair growth through concentrated growth factors from the patient's blood. This non-surgical option treats early hair loss and complements surgical procedures. Sessions require minimal downtime with progressive results over several months.
Lip Reduction
Lip reduction surgery decreases lip size for facial balance. The procedure removes excess tissue while preserving sensation and function. Ideal for patients with congenital or filler-induced lip disproportion, offering permanent, natural-looking results with discreet scarring.

I am VERY happy with my results so far! This summer I received an upper lip lift surgery from Dr. Linkov and it has been healing beautifully. The surgery was super easy and I was able to continue working that entire week (remotely) without any issues. The lip will swell a lot the first 2-3 days but was a breeze after that. Highly reccomend this vs to having to get fillers every few months!

My hair transplant procedure was 24 hours agoI had 2,500 grafts, then caught a flight home to Phoenix this morning. I am the type to do a ton of research before committing, yet still was nervous the morning of my appointmentperhaps because I had travelled solo. I felt at ease with Dr. Linkov and his team seeing their comforting chemistry, meticulous nature, and a common goal to do their best. I was literally brought to tears when I saw my results. I feel like somehow my smile has changed. As far as today wentI appreciated Dr. Linkovs call first thing in the morning to see how Im

Where do I begin? From the beginning I had the most amazing experience with his support team. Then I met Dr. Linkov and knew he was the surgeon for me. I had my lip lift 4 weeks ago and to say I am thrilled is an understatement. I can't believe how my scar looks already. People don't even notice it unless I point it out. His attention to detail truly is incredible. From moment I met him I felt comfortable and that I could trust him. He is quite popular and worth the wait. I am glad I didn't settle for anyone else. Thank you Dr. Linkov and also to your team. You truly have an amazing team. 100 out

Absolutely extraordinary, talented, doctor. Dr Linkov is truly a magician. His attention to detail is exquisite. He CARES about the outcome of his surgeries to the utmost detail - and it shows: his reputation for flawless stitching is well merited: having just had a lip lift 9 days ago I can honestly say one would have to look very, very closely to notice anything had been done at all. From my first consultation to the follow up after surgery I felt cared for. The practice is run by gorgeous, sweet and very patient Bianca (who kindly replied to all my incessant emails and questions week after week

I had an eyebrow transplant procedure with Dr. Linkov in 2/2021. I had a very wonderful experience with him and his staff. Prior to the procedure, Dr. Linkov and I met virtually for consultation to examine if I am a right candidate for the procedure and addressed any concerns/questions. The procedure went smoothly with minor pain. The toughest part is post-surgery that I need to let the wound healed. The transplanted hair grew out within 5-6 months and I say goodbye to my eyebrow pencil.

A++ ! There are not enough great things I can say about my experience. I had a non surgical nose rhinoplasty/filler done a year ago, and the results were fantastic. Exactly what I had hoped for. Dr. Gary Linkov was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. He was very patient and was extremely thorough and detailed during the consultation, making sure I was aware of everything I needed to know before the procedure. He really listens to his patients. I would 100% recommend Dr. Linkov to anyone looking for a treatment. Make a call for a consultation, and his extremely attentive and helpful staff
