At times it seems that everyone is willing to lie, cheat and steal to get ahead. The false advertising/shameless misrepresentation and straight up lies these types of people are getting away with on social media is why I follow people like Dr.Gary. Thank you for going against the grain Dr. Lenkov. 👏❤️
There's a Bruce Willis movie called surrogates. Where it is a world where people will live life through an ai robot to live a safer life instead going out in real bodies. Scary how it's heading that way. People being comfy behind videos and photos of filters and ai face tuning. Yikes.
You forgot to tell about people like me, who got in a car accident and my face changed after that. I really hoped and prayed for my face to be back to normal after what happened. I couldn't even smile for 6 months. But after antibiotics , long therapy and a little scar removals it's all good now. I'm happy 👾. But back into that time it was really scary how I looked. It really has affected me mentally.
Thanks for making this Dr Gary. I feel sorry for new generations. I am a millennial, 39. I thought we had it tough! Initially with reality TV, magazines touting the body ideal. Then the dawn of the internet happened Re: social media etc and unattainable beauty standards just snowballed from there. It certainly affected me as a teen in the early 000's, never felt good enough in my own skin. I look back now and just wish I could have appreciated the younger me, perfectly imperfect, we all are. Alas it is blessing to age so I won't complain. With AI setting new beauty standards it really concerns me how this will affect Gen z going onward pertaining to said on unattainable beauty standards and of course the knock on effect to mental health. Sad times we live in. Appreciate your content. ✌🏻
I just want to say that whenever I look back at all of my friends & myself, our mid 30s to mid 40s were the times that our appearance was the most attractive. I was also the happiest with my appearance at age 45 & stopped wearing any eye makeup & stopped screwing with my hair so much.
You know Gen X’ers and Boomers went through this too right? Every generation thinks they are special and the elders just cannot understand. That’s why that “ok, Boomer” condescension pisses us off.
As a teen I would constantly pinch my hips and never wear a bikini cause of what people would critique. At 30 years old I was telling myself how fat I am now and how I would wear baggy clothes. At 50 years, I realise that I was perfectly right and healthy at every age except for the bad habits I developed due my fears of being fat/ugly/old and it was exhausting to spend so much time being concerned and hiding. While it might be nice to look slimmer, healthy, strong, I do not want any more angst of youth.
I've used that face app that turns you younger or older, and the young version they show me does NOT look like i did when i was a teenager/young adult - I'm 59, my bone structure has changed due to age and - in my case - gingivitis and tooth loss. So the young me may look great, but it's based on my current bone structure - and it's the same when they de-age 70 year old actors in tv and movies - they look younger, but different than they actually did at that age.
I’ve used the filter that makes you look older and it was strangely therapeutic and emotional 🙂 I looked jarringly like my mom, but I still had that twinkle in my eye 🤍 It was kind of exciting to think I might grow into that lady, she seemed like a nice old lady to be!!
This love for the "plastic surgery look" and fake faces is a 1st world thing and if you go to places where people don't normally do this, everyone will be looking at your face, and not in a good way. I am Argentinian and I don't think I've ever come across a person in my country, who thinks people with Botox, face lifts or fillers look good. Everybody can tell because people are used to natural faces and in-person socializing (no filters), so almost nobody seems to like this inflated, balloon-like look people are obsessed with here.
I live in the US & stopped watching tv 15 years ago. Three months of no tv, & I walk into a waiting room with a Hollywood gossip show playing, the host didn’t even look real. I asked the people watching if anyone on there looked real to them, & an older gentleman said, “It’s high definition tv, they have to use an extraordinary amount of makeup so that they don’t look washed out.”. There was much more than makeup going on there.
My hairstylist told me that two of her friends had a facelift. One in Canada ,paid $50 000 and another in Turkey paid $20 000. And results are like day and night. Canadian facelift looks so natural no scars. Turkey,they butchered her face
Imagine walking around thinking that you look like the enhanced imagery that you put on social media and then wondering why people don't react to you in the same way. How sad.
Literally i think this is why so many people feel cognitive dissonance looking into the real mirror. Our phone cameras already have a filter like preinstalled, and you dont even need snapchat or insta for the filter. So they take a selfie from their FILTERED phone, then filter it again(!!!) AND then post it. They almost only see themselves from their phone screen, so when they see the actual cheeks, jaw, chin, lips, eyes, they freak out because it isnt the same.
It’s because they convince themselves they look like what they do on social media. They have no touch of reality when it comes to that. I feel bad. Social media either gives people body dismorphia or this, the opposite.
So true. I saw a lady in her 70's with a face-lift for sure. I thought "oh what a well kept woman". I scanned her body and was shocked to see wrinkled bony hands, poor posture, wrinkled, dried out chest, sun spots all over her thin arms. It was scarey for sure. Yet she had this pretty, youthful face. Really hard to see.
😂 This is what I always say. How could you possibly make it all match up? No face lifts in my future. Not to mention the risks you’re taking and the money you gotta part with. 😛
It’s actually pretty easy to see why people go to such lengths to look youthful when you read what you’ve written here. Your description of her body sounds like some kind of evil crone. And then you say it’s “sad” to see that her face looks youthful. Women cannot win. We either look “old, wrinkled, bony and dried out” or we have work done and then people say “what a well kept woman…wait! She’s old, wrinkled, bony and dried out! Sad”. She’s not sad. She’s a woman who has lived her life as time has passed. That’s it. Gawd I hate it here.
Would you be happy if some random stranger scrutinized the way you look while you're just walking around? That's just creepy and sad. Mind your own business. You'll get wrinkles too and you won't be happy about it. Maybe you'll wish you could have a face lift. Stop shaming people for getting old
I definitely was relatively the same in my 30s & 40s. People thought I was 20-odd something for a long time. I am 1.70m, so quite tall and I dress pretty young (jeans/shirt) and that makes a difference as well. Late 40s, early 50s (going to be 52 next month/very recent profile picture) is when I started to look "older". My smile lines became somewhat more defined as well; before that, my face was quite youthful looking. Anyway, IMO it is amazing what HA, Vit.C and Retinol can do as well as moisturizing your face really well. It helps!
Love you Doc. Gary. I am 45 and I have no intention on getting work done. (If anything maybe just a nice facelift at 60) but I love your style. I love how you remind us all that aging can be beautiful and your emphasis on people keeping the things in their face that make us beautiful and unique is a wonderful message I think more youngsters need to hear this message.
A lot would be, in addition to the facelift: fat grafting, upper blepharoplasty, brow lift, cheek/chin implants, lip lift, and necklift. . People who get this whole package (like Dr Karam's patients) look not only 20 years younger, but beautified as well in relation to their younger selves. Whereas someone who only got a lower facelift will just look refreshed, but not different or spectacularly younger. Yes, a facelift is major surgery on its own, but you can definitely speak of getting "just a facelift."
My daughter is 8. Starting around age 7, I started speaking to her, in very simple terms, about people changing their face/body and how she doesn't need to do any of that. She's beautiful how she is. I think everyone should be having that conversation with their child.
Make her listen to "everybody's fool" by Evanescence, that song hit me hard as a kid and still does, the lyrics really predicted the social media climate.
18:50. I said the same thing, Dr Linkov, but also including the dating apps and dating environment there is now. So glad I found my husband in 2011 before dating apps! I cant inagine trying to navigate it all and dealing with the environment that dating has become...no thank you!!
Being a 57 year black women who has enjoyed excellent health all my life and is managing to age like fine wine,take it from me a good exercise regime works, wonders.🍷
That and genetics. If you’re genetically destined to age more slowly diet and exercise is super helpful. If you’re not so gifted all of the potions and work and everything else won’t do all that much.
@@codename495so true. Any back person who takes care of themselves will age slowly, and graciously because of their blessed melanin. However environmental and sociopolitical factors sometimes wipe out the advantages of melanin. Poverty, the psychological effects of systemic and structural prejudice and discrimination, lead many black people to an early grave, sadly.
I think at a certain point using the filters and even some extreme plastic surgeries people are lying to themselves as well as others... I'm a 50-year-old man and I have some crow's feet and a few wrinkles but in my opinion I've earned every wrinkle and deserved every scar, the only thing I've started doing was a skin care treatment nothing extreme just facial and moisturizers type stuff I have noticed a slight Improvement but overall I'm happy with the way I am... What's the point of using a filter if you actually meet somebody in person and they see that you're not who you are in your picture never makes sense to me
That's what I don't understand. Who are people trying to fool with the filters? And why? Is the validation of strangers who think they're attractive that important to them? And if it is, how sad. I'm 61, have always taken care of my skin, and always use sunscreen. I'm perfectly happy with the way I look. I think I look good, without looking like I'm trying to look younger. Again, what would be the point? Everyone who knows me knows how old I am.
I blame the Kardashians for this heavy reliance on changing into plastic doll ratios. Aging or not it has caused some body dysmorphia with many young women who follow them or their influence on society.
My daughter is like Elizabeth Taylor ... born beautiful. Beauty has a dark side I never knew about until my daughter came along. Elementary school kids would tell her, "You should be a model!" and the next day, they gang up as a group and bully her. Her supposed best friend slapped her out of nowhere, and she forgave her. Then they became teenagers and suddenly, all the boys paid all the attention to my daughter, but her friends became jealous and wanted to "curb stomp" my child. You wind up a very lonely girl. So, she aimed to please these "friends", and they used her (money, car, etc.). But then, yet another queen of jealousy got on the internet and bullied her some more, saying such hurtful things, I wanted to call the FBI and report her for internet bullying. And, all these supposed "friends" joined in the bullying again! Finally, high school is over! Ya think it's over? Nah! 50 year old women at work began doing the same thing! Men? Nearly all of them want to bed her. Even a teacher stalked her. We'd go to a restaurant and the waitress hands her a note with a phone number from a man sitting somewhere in the restaurant inviting her to call him. Other times, we'd find notes on our car. She'd get harassed at work by some dude who couldn't take no for an answer. As her mother, I'm appalled and fearful for her.
Beauty is definitely a a double edged sword.... u should check out Malena played by Monica Bellucci it's an Italian movie about beauty and how its a blessing and a curse
My mother-in-law was beautiful very early in life and stayed that way into middle age. It limited her life in so many ways, and she never felt comfortable in the world. I wish your daughter the best, hope she has true friends and loved ones, and so much more. Beauty can be a curse.
MY MOM ME AND ALL MY SISTER'S MY AUNTS 2 WOMEN JUMPED MY MOM ONCE BECAUSE THAT B*TCH THOUGHT SHE WAS BETTER SHE WAS PREGNANT AND MISCARRIED TWINS MY DAD WAS CRAZED WITH HER I WON'T GET INTO BUT ALWAYS AFRAID SOME GUY WAS LOOKING
For some reason I don't feel MUCH sympathy for y'all and your "hot people problems". I mean, as a human I have SOME human empathy... but as an ugly middle-aged man, I really don't feel much of it in this context. Despite the inconvenience and minor harassment, Hot People have OPTIONS that regular people do not.
That remind me the movie The Irish , where they d-aged the whole cast to make them look 30 years younger and the effect was good but they continue to move like older men, so it cause that uncanny valley anyway, is like in the old days when women used to do moisturise and care for their faces and forgetting the neck, so the face end up much younger than the neck lol
I used to find those that had lots of work looking pretty good but strangely now my appreciation of beauty is towards more of a unique look. I don’t know why. That being said I’m currently glad to be healing from a breast reduction/balancing surgery one year post lumpectomy. It really put pep in my step!
I sometimes experience fear when I see certain people's faces. My guess is that something within me is registering something's not right/natural. (In a couple of instances of this I later found out they had been using botox for years).
I remember over 40 years ago in school our class watching a video on robots. It showed the synthetic skin and how they talked and moved. I remember the last statement of that movie. The statement was pretty soon you won't know who's real and who's a robot. That really stuck in my head and now to hear these same words over 40 years later and seeing the reality of it is amazing!😊
I had a VERY negative opinion about plastic surgery growing up in the 90s, as people like Jocelyn Wildenstein, Michael Jackson, Joan Rivers and Mickey Rourke were constantly talked about on TV. I had never seen, plastic surgery look.... Good. It was all either 'Melted-Face' or 'No-Expression-Eyebrows' or people with abnormally sharp and pointy breasts or just, features blown out of proportion. (Or the ever classic BOTCHED shows) You've single-handedly, opened my eyes to a whole new world that I never saw before. The world where it's done right and you often never know because it looks natural. I was taught as a young kid to love myself and my appearance, whether I was a pimple-faced teenager or an adult with crooked teeth. I was taught to love my insecurities so I never saw the other side of people who were perhaps not taught that - or, who were taught that but understood what you're trying to teach so many people. You've opened my eyes to what you do and why people want plastic surgery or even need it in some cases, squashing my ignorance on the topic and with it any judgemental thoughts I used to have. I've been fortunate so far to not have any deforming accidents, or a feature that stands out so much that people treat me differently. But when aging hits me and I look in the mirror and feel like the person looking back isn't me anymore, I will likely look into plastic options without the guilt and judgement and ignorance of feeling like, wanting to do something good for me is somehow wrong. I think balance in all things is very important. I don't think AI and filters are better than plastic surgery, because it's teaching you to hide your insecurities - rather than be comfortable in your own skin. I think that plastic surgery, can help you be comfortable but if someone is going in for a permanent alteration - I would hope they're told everything that you teach people here. They don't need a procedure to be valuable or worthy, but that it's okay, to do things to make yourself feel good - just make sure you're doing stuff for you, for the right reasons.
You used to be right… it is a bad thing. Nobody needs plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. Nobody debates it for birth defects or deforming accidents… but building a world where everyone wants to look the same and everyone is afraid to age is not positive. I don’t understand why people can’t find a happy medium. Yes it should be ok for people WHO ACTUALLY NEED IT. Not people who simply don’t wanna age or wanna look like celebrities. You should allow yourself to age gracefully btw. Please don’t alter your face. Everyone should love themselves for who they are. For their differences. That’s what we should be striving for. You were raised properly, don’t change that.
Agree. I saw a video of a young woman who had a lot of work done, and a comment under one video that got a ton of likes said that she never needed surgery and simply needed to learn how to do contour. This was strange to me. Why is painting the face with camouflage to fool people preferable? Contour only looks good in selfies. I see the stripes on noses and jawlines in sunlight. If some people don't want to do it then that is fine for them. It won't fix underlying emotional problems or be a substitute for therapy. But the right surgery performed by the right surgeon is life-changing.
@@SocialExperiment232 I appreciate your perspective and your kind words! My mom was able to age gracefully, so I have high hopes. Whenever I look back on my past I'm able to understand things now I wasn't able to understand then and I guess I always want to leave room going forward that I may not be able to understand now how I'll feel in the future, especially if society and technology is nothing like it is now. I agree that the ultimate goal, is to always be comfortable in your own skin.
How much of this is a fear of dying, an attempt to stop the inevitable? At some point your body starts breaking down and you're still trying to look twenty years younger.. What does that say about how you feel about your ethnicity when you no longer look like anyone in your family? I have my father's bump on my nose showing my Italian heritage and I would never change that.
I think people should just assume anyone online is using all available tools to look their best including not really existing lol. Also the line for me is looking unnatural/ like I'm not myself. But the line for everyone else should be what makes them happy/surgeon agrees is safe etc.
@en2336 Not sure. But there are many actresses who are not conventionally attractive (anymore) but who look interesting and really do a good job in their roles. How about that woman who played Eric Foreman's mom in "That 70s Show", and who was also a house guest in Disney-Marvel's "WandaVision"? I forgot her name. And frankly she's still kind of pretty (to me) for an older lady...
It's weird. Ever since my back pain got markedly worse (and because of that I move like I'm in pain), people often now think I'm a senior citizen. I'm only 56.... Until I was in my 40s I regularly looked ten years younger than my age. In my 40s I started to look my age. Now I look older than my age.
@@ChineduOpara Yes, that makes sense. I never really thought of it that way. I've been stressed and depressed all my life. It just didn't show as age when I was younger.
Hey Dr, just wanted to see that I love your content and I think that you are a fantastic person with such a humble attitude and I really appreciate it.
A fun experiment with light wavelengths, three low power lasers, one red, one green, and one blue, all in a dark room onto a phosphorescent surface. The blue and green activate it, while the red takes away the glowing. I suspect the red light takes away the excess energy from the cellular proteins too.
I used to have a flat nose that went across half my face and everybody would ask me if I was albino... Used to have a really fat wide face and wide jaw... Aging has caused my face to sag a little bit which has given me more of a oval face with v-jaw... My nose is no longer flat and half of my face... Age has absolutely changed my face and honestly I like it better
Girl you’re so pretty don’t pay no mind. I was same way, esp being Asian w flat nose and wide face… I use to cry in the mirror and vowed to myself as a 15 yr old girl I’d get everythint to my face done… from my nose to my jaw line to my eyes etc.. as I got older, well… you can see my pfp here. Idk perhaps I just grew into my face and more confidence , or maybe as we age our face does change? Have you ever heard of Mewing? Apparently you can naturally change the shape of your jawline/profile if you were to practice this certain exercise that includes your tongue placement in mouth. Crazy right???
I'm actually very happy with what my 30s are doing to my face. I've finally outgrown my teens/early-20s awkward duckling phase and it's nice to see myself settling into my full adult look. It's kinda sad that so many people don't allow themselves to feel this way because of how much media has made people fear aging. Sure, applying liquid eyeliner has gotten trickier now that my eyelids aren't so smooth anymore, and I can no longer sleep like a pretzel without my back complaining for a week straight, but getting older has still been a net positive so far.
Wow. Ugly duckling phase for me was early adolescence, 12-13. Young adulthood (18-22) was my best time. Still looked nice in my 30s, even 40s, but young adulthood was peak beauty. I can't imagine ever considering my 18-20 year old self as an ugly duckling!
@@dammar117 Not an ugly duckling, an awkward duckling. Maybe it's because I had pimples and braces at the age of 18-20, but I would not consider that age to be my personal peak. I guess I'm a late bloomer
We seriously need to normalise being an ugly duckling and drop the myth that you reach your life's peak in your late teens. Puberty hits hard on the body and it often takes years to level out, and all the "hot teenagers" in Hollywood movies are played by actors in their 20s for a reason.
@@blondbraid7986 Late teens is not puberty. Puberty (the early stage of adolescence) is long over by then. Not sure what "hot teenagers" means, since "teenage" only means an age ending with the suffix "teen." You can be an adolescent teenager (most of the time), hence an awkward duckling, but you can also be a young adult teenager if you're a female of 18-19. And if a 19-year-old character is played by a 20-year-old actress, well, that's perfectly normal.
I draw the line for myself at any procedure, but if it was for a medical reason of any kind I would jump at the chance to have my old face back. I feel that our 'fantasy' idea of ourselves should stay in games and that reality is reality and we need to work on our emotions, not our faces.
I have a dumb question : is it safe to travel by plane after this amount of surgery (I'm around minute 13). I feel like if you're very swollen, the pressure... I don't know 😅
Maybe a risk of blood clots like dvt...Just google travelling after surgery maybe. Keeping hydrated, getting up to move and compression socks help that sort of thing if it's long haul. It's weird though, the pressurised cabin seems to affect me. Everytime I go on a flight I get a massive toothache, like one of my back teeth are about to pop out. I even had a back molar break just after I got off a flight. Might be something to do with the inner ear, altitude and pressure? Who's knows? I've never looked into it 😅
@@tinekejoldersmaWell, I still feel the difference in pressure in my eardrums, I can imagine even small changes to be painful if you are swollen and has all kinds of post-surgery complications.
@@blondbraid7986 Read into the Eustachian tube; it's a slow-working organ that gives different feelings of discomfort in the ear. The post-operation discomfort is not tied to her question. Nobody should fly after an operation but closely be monitored. The reason why these people wanted to fly after the operation was tied to their visa.
I’m 75 and I don’t have the money to have plastic surgery so the only thing I can do is eat healthy, do intermittent fasting half the month, exercise every day and meditate! So far it has helped me to stay in shape and look and act a lot younger than I am even though my skin is getting wrinkly but it’s the way you present yourself that’s counteracting age!
This is very sad.... People will do anything to get views, likes and approval. All thanks to crappy social media. I guess you can't stop it's but there's going to be a lot of mentally tortured people in the future. Thank God He keeps me sane ❤
Yeah, I definitively blame social media, because people feeling ugly has always existed, but they weren't pushed to compare themselves to thousands of perfectly edited faces daily before.
I entered 40 recently and I realized i was blind when I was younger thinking that I’m ugly! Bc I didn’t love myself until Jesus saved me and started to heal my soul ❤️🩹 and delivered from lies. And now I just want to be like me again when I was younger and look nice ❤ By the way dr. Your skin is beautiful 🤍 and thank you for the discussion God bless you
Late 30s mom here. I don't really use social media. I have FB account I buy and sell with. The picture is our cow. I learned years ago that it was absolutely shocking and basically unheard of to recognize the person that came to my house to pick something up from their Facebook photo. I cannot count, literally cannot count the number of times I assumed a teenage girl or young woman was coming to pick something up. And it was a very overweight 30s 40s women. I don't care either way, but for security I do check out who is coming to my house. 😂😅 The short answer, a women way older and way fatter than the half filter images in their pictures.
I know that people with money would pay anything to look youthful. But nothing lasts forever, even plastic surgeries. I have met some people who have learned how to age gracefully. They carry their wrinkles like a badge of courage and wisdom. I think people who use filters suffer from low self-esteem. People will love you for yourself if you accept your flaws and all. No one is truly perfect.
Hey! I have an idea. Can you do a video on Susan Lucci? She swears she hasn't had surgery, but she looks so damn good for her age. But, she also looks natural to me. Please?!
She looks natural to me. My mum is 67 and looks about 40 and she has had no surgery she just eats incredibly well and exercises well and had a healthy lifestyle always.
Ok, so if Brazilian butt lifts can kill you with the fat seepage for a not doctor term. Will adding fat to your face to fill it out be horrendously dangerous considering the blood supply to the face is so close to the brain??
The swollen lips/blow up love doll look I just can't comprehend... I want to go all the way and get my scramble suite ala A Scanner Darkly.... That would be fun...
I don't buy the "if it makes you feel more confident, then do it." No, go to the gym. Go to therapy. Go meditate. Go cultivate some self-awareness. Go do something with your life that doesn't revolve around your looks. Learn to just accept your lot in life. Work with what you have. Everything I said takes work, I know, but nothing genuine and lasting comes from a quick fix.
Well said. It’s clearly evident that one “enhancement” leads to another, as we’ve seen with the so called celebrities. It’s not even about money, as the British royal family, and aristocracy don’t appear to have cosmetic surgery. They’re clearly happy with the way they look.
Yes I always say we all gonna look like crap when we get old so workout while your young so when it’s time to start aging u wanna give the reaper of beauty a fight for it’s money when u start hitting 50
I workout, I've been in therapy for many years, I've meditated for going on 5 years now. I engage in self-aware retrospection very frequently. You know what my therapist said when I told her I want a rhinoplasty? She told me to do it, because it would make me feel more confident. I ran it by my psych and GP, who were both nothing but supportive. You may not "BuY iT", but it's a perfectly valid option for a lot of people and people like you would do well to stop judging. You're not better than anyone that gets cosmetic surgery. Honestly, you're probably a worse person due to the judgmental, 'holier than thou' attitude you have.
@@Exclusive1011111111 Working out won't give a mom that's had five children a tummy tuck, working out won't reduce the size of someone's nose, working out won't give someone a face lift, working out won't give a breast cancer patient who's had a double mastectomy new breasts that make her feel like a human being again. Fuck the judgmental attitude you two have.
*here’s something to consider, my identical twin sister and I looked 10 years apart. She always tanned in our younger years, smoked a little.(not much) and didn’t manage her stress well whereas I’ve always avoided the sun, didn’t smoke or a drink(still don’t), and don’t stress about things that are out of my control. I also set things up for “just in case“ moments, such as the pandemic.* I always felt awful for her when she would introduce me to her friends or in-laws and they thought I was her younger sister. They were going to do studies on us, but unfortunately, I lost her due to medical malpractice. I like knowing approximately what she would still look like if she were still here simply by looking at myself.*
After my facial plastic surgery I was locked out of my phone since it no longer recognized my face and I was in a foreign country with Stolen Device Protection on. I didn’t have any issues with immigration though 😮💨
Pre-covid when fish lips and shiny foreheads were just beginning to trend, I would serve many women of all ages who obviously had the procedure done and it would activate my inner cringe as they looked like monsters - especially the older women. 😬
Doctor Gary Linkov! Don't you read the comments! We've already told you the younger man didn't have a plastic surgery with the doctor, never met. He is suing the doctor for using his photo. Before and After aren't related. They're 2 different people. Older man is a photo from the USA, younger man a photo from Turkiye. Both never met the doctor or have been to the clinic. No, the USA is more lenient. In Turkiye, they're not allowed even show such photoes as proof of a good surgeon. Turkish doctors can't sel products or sponser a company, product unlike the USA. However, those photoes were directed outside of Turkiye. Turkish people wouldn't have seen it in Turkiye. Infact, the USA is very lenient even with skin creams etc.
I agree: it's not always so easy to say. My own feeling, with makeup specifically, is that makeup that is intended to look as if the wearer has no makeup on at all is questionably ethical.

You forgot to tell about people like me, who got in a car accident and my face changed after that. I really hoped and prayed for my face to be back to normal after what happened. I couldn't even smile for 6 months. But after antibiotics , long therapy and a little scar removals it's all good now. I'm happy 👾. But back into that time it was really scary how I looked. It really has affected me mentally.
I’m so sorry you had to go through that 🕊️
Thanks for making this Dr Gary. I feel sorry for new generations. I am a millennial, 39. I thought we had it tough! Initially with reality TV, magazines touting the body ideal. Then the dawn of the internet happened Re: social media etc and unattainable beauty standards just snowballed from there. It certainly affected me as a teen in the early 000's, never felt good enough in my own skin. I look back now and just wish I could have appreciated the younger me, perfectly imperfect, we all are. Alas it is blessing to age so I won't complain.
With AI setting new beauty standards it really concerns me how this will affect Gen z going onward pertaining to said on unattainable beauty standards and of course the knock on effect to mental health. Sad times we live in. Appreciate your content. ✌🏻
I just want to say that whenever I look back at all of my friends & myself, our mid 30s to mid 40s were the times that our appearance was the most attractive. I was also the happiest with my appearance at age 45 & stopped wearing any eye makeup & stopped screwing with my hair so much.
You know Gen X’ers and Boomers went through this too right? Every generation thinks they are special and the elders just cannot understand. That’s why that “ok, Boomer” condescension pisses us off.
Gen Z is old by now. It's gen Alpha who will suffer most
As a teen I would constantly pinch my hips and never wear a bikini cause of what people would critique. At 30 years old I was telling myself how fat I am now and how I would wear baggy clothes. At 50 years, I realise that I was perfectly right and healthy at every age except for the bad habits I developed due my fears of being fat/ugly/old and it was exhausting to spend so much time being concerned and hiding. While it might be nice to look slimmer, healthy, strong, I do not want any more angst of youth.
Thanks Doc Gary Linkov. I came for your voice 😊 it somehow calm my soul ❤.
I've used that face app that turns you younger or older, and the young version they show me does NOT look like i did when i was a teenager/young adult - I'm 59, my bone structure has changed due to age and - in my case - gingivitis and tooth loss. So the young me may look great, but it's based on my current bone structure - and it's the same when they de-age 70 year old actors in tv and movies - they look younger, but different than they actually did at that age.
I am Hispanic and the young app makes me asian , like really extremely asian like douyin type of deal , is hilarious
I did it too. I also did the old lady version of me and a man . They are fun
I’ve used the filter that makes you look older and it was strangely therapeutic and emotional 🙂 I looked jarringly like my mom, but I still had that twinkle in my eye 🤍
It was kind of exciting to think I might grow into that lady, she seemed like a nice old lady to be!!
The young filter gives me unnaturally big eyes, tiiiny chin and tiny mouth. I look like an alien 😂
Ok, I need to find this app ya’ll speak of and see my experience. What is the name of it?
I LOVE Edvasian and Dr. Linkov. This is the best creation since ice and cream.
This love for the "plastic surgery look" and fake faces is a 1st world thing and if you go to places where people don't normally do this, everyone will be looking at your face, and not in a good way. I am Argentinian and I don't think I've ever come across a person in my country, who thinks people with Botox, face lifts or fillers look good. Everybody can tell because people are used to natural faces and in-person socializing (no filters), so almost nobody seems to like this inflated, balloon-like look people are obsessed with here.
I live in the US & stopped watching tv 15 years ago. Three months of no tv, & I walk into a waiting room with a Hollywood gossip show playing, the host didn’t even look real. I asked the people watching if anyone on there looked real to them, & an older gentleman said, “It’s high definition tv, they have to use an extraordinary amount of makeup so that they don’t look washed out.”. There was much more than makeup going on there.
Though PS was really big in South America!! Like Brazil and Argentina, loads of them! Latinas really like it.
16:00 it's actually nice hearing this. Our flaws are what make us human so for someone to prefer a fake entity over something that's real imo is odd
My hairstylist told me that two of her friends had a facelift. One in Canada ,paid $50 000 and another in Turkey paid $20 000. And results are like day and night. Canadian facelift looks so natural no scars. Turkey,they butchered her face
Imagine walking around thinking that you look like the enhanced imagery that you put on social media and then wondering why people don't react to you in the same way. How sad.
That's why I've never done it. I m too honest.
Literally i think this is why so many people feel cognitive dissonance looking into the real mirror. Our phone cameras already have a filter like preinstalled, and you dont even need snapchat or insta for the filter. So they take a selfie from their FILTERED phone, then filter it again(!!!) AND then post it. They almost only see themselves from their phone screen, so when they see the actual cheeks, jaw, chin, lips, eyes, they freak out because it isnt the same.
@@breannathompson9094 The day that someone invents a bathroom mirror with a filter people will be truly screwed !
It’s because they convince themselves they look like what they do on social media. They have no touch of reality when it comes to that. I feel bad. Social media either gives people body dismorphia or this, the opposite.
I don't post it but I run my photos through Faceapp just so I can feel good about myself. 😂
I had to get a new ID when I cut my hair and dyed it. I couldn't get into bars because no one believed it was me!
I had a doctor with the face of a 20 year old and the body of a senior. She looked good but it was uncanny.
Yeah I never understand that, people are obsessed with their face but their bodies give it all away 😂
So true. I saw a lady in her 70's with a face-lift for sure. I thought "oh what a well kept woman". I scanned her body and was shocked to see wrinkled bony hands, poor posture, wrinkled, dried out chest, sun spots all over her thin arms. It was scarey for sure. Yet she had this pretty, youthful face. Really hard to see.
😂 This is what I always say. How could you possibly make it all match up? No face lifts in my future. Not to mention the risks you’re taking and the money you gotta part with. 😛
It’s actually pretty easy to see why people go to such lengths to look youthful when you read what you’ve written here. Your description of her body sounds like some kind of evil crone. And then you say it’s “sad” to see that her face looks youthful. Women cannot win. We either look “old, wrinkled, bony and dried out” or we have work done and then people say “what a well kept woman…wait! She’s old, wrinkled, bony and dried out! Sad”.
She’s not sad. She’s a woman who has lived her life as time has passed. That’s it. Gawd I hate it here.
Reminds of an episode off of Night gallery.. I think it was off that lol
@@InspiredGrateful I remember Wendy williams advising older woman not to go under anesthesia even though she was not against surgery
Would you be happy if some random stranger scrutinized the way you look while you're just walking around? That's just creepy and sad. Mind your own business. You'll get wrinkles too and you won't be happy about it. Maybe you'll wish you could have a face lift. Stop shaming people for getting old
Most refreshing display of ethical medical professionnalism. Kudos!
Doctor Linkov is amazing. He tells the truth. If I wanted surgery I would only go to him.
I definitely was relatively the same in my 30s & 40s. People thought I was 20-odd something for a long time. I am 1.70m, so quite tall and I dress pretty young (jeans/shirt) and that makes a difference as well. Late 40s, early 50s (going to be 52 next month/very recent profile picture) is when I started to look "older". My smile lines became somewhat more defined as well; before that, my face was quite youthful looking. Anyway, IMO it is amazing what HA, Vit.C and Retinol can do as well as moisturizing your face really well. It helps!
I really appreciate Dr. Linkov's series regarding the risks and expectations of surgery. I'm apprehensive about the future of appearance.
Love you Doc. Gary. I am 45 and I have no intention on getting work done. (If anything maybe just a nice facelift at 60) but I love your style. I love how you remind us all that aging can be beautiful and your emphasis on people keeping the things in their face that make us beautiful and unique is a wonderful message I think more youngsters need to hear this message.
Just a facelift at 60? It's still quite a lot!
So, im wondering what would seem like a lot to you?
A lot would be, in addition to the facelift: fat grafting, upper blepharoplasty, brow lift, cheek/chin implants, lip lift, and necklift. . People who get this whole package (like Dr Karam's patients) look not only 20 years younger, but beautified as well in relation to their younger selves. Whereas someone who only got a lower facelift will just look refreshed, but not different or spectacularly younger. Yes, a facelift is major surgery on its own, but you can definitely speak of getting "just a facelift."
@@dammar117 ok
I really enjoy your show, and the clinically thoroughness you achieve in delivery thank you
My daughter is 8. Starting around age 7, I started speaking to her, in very simple terms, about people changing their face/body and how she doesn't need to do any of that. She's beautiful how she is. I think everyone should be having that conversation with their child.
Make her listen to "everybody's fool" by Evanescence, that song hit me hard as a kid and still does, the lyrics really predicted the social media climate.
@@blondbraid7986 thank you
18:50. I said the same thing, Dr Linkov, but also including the dating apps and dating environment there is now. So glad I found my husband in 2011 before dating apps! I cant inagine trying to navigate it all and dealing with the environment that dating has become...no thank you!!
It's a dumpster fire nightmare these days. You got lucky.
Being a 57 year black women who has enjoyed excellent health all my life and is managing to age like fine wine,take it from me a good exercise regime works, wonders.🍷
Thank you ❤❤❤
Black people generally age well, especially if they're taking care of themselves. Thank you melanin 🤸🏿
Many black folk age better in general cause their skin
That and genetics. If you’re genetically destined to age more slowly diet and exercise is super helpful. If you’re not so gifted all of the potions and work and everything else won’t do all that much.
@@codename495so true. Any back person who takes care of themselves will age slowly, and graciously because of their blessed melanin.
However environmental and sociopolitical factors sometimes wipe out the advantages of melanin. Poverty, the psychological effects of systemic and structural prejudice and discrimination, lead many black people to an early grave, sadly.
I think at a certain point using the filters and even some extreme plastic surgeries people are lying to themselves as well as others...
I'm a 50-year-old man and I have some crow's feet and a few wrinkles but in my opinion I've earned every wrinkle and deserved every scar, the only thing I've started doing was a skin care treatment nothing extreme just facial and moisturizers type stuff I have noticed a slight Improvement but overall I'm happy with the way I am...
What's the point of using a filter if you actually meet somebody in person and they see that you're not who you are in your picture never makes sense to me
That's what I don't understand. Who are people trying to fool with the filters? And why? Is the validation of strangers who think they're attractive that important to them? And if it is, how sad.
I'm 61, have always taken care of my skin, and always use sunscreen. I'm perfectly happy with the way I look. I think I look good, without looking like I'm trying to look younger. Again, what would be the point? Everyone who knows me knows how old I am.
I blame the Kardashians for this heavy reliance on changing into plastic doll ratios. Aging or not it has caused some body dysmorphia with many young women who follow them or their influence on society.
Whaaaat! Edvasian crossover! Love it.
My daughter is like Elizabeth Taylor ... born beautiful.
Beauty has a dark side I never knew about until my daughter came along.
Elementary school kids would tell her, "You should be a model!" and the next day, they gang up as a group and bully her. Her supposed best friend slapped her out of nowhere, and she forgave her. Then they became teenagers and suddenly, all the boys paid all the attention to my daughter, but her friends became jealous and wanted to "curb stomp" my child. You wind up a very lonely girl. So, she aimed to please these "friends", and they used her (money, car, etc.). But then, yet another queen of jealousy got on the internet and bullied her some more, saying such hurtful things, I wanted to call the FBI and report her for internet bullying. And, all these supposed "friends" joined in the bullying again! Finally, high school is over! Ya think it's over? Nah! 50 year old women at work began doing the same thing!
Men? Nearly all of them want to bed her. Even a teacher stalked her. We'd go to a restaurant and the waitress hands her a note with a phone number from a man sitting somewhere in the restaurant inviting her to call him. Other times, we'd find notes on our car. She'd get harassed at work by some dude who couldn't take no for an answer.
As her mother, I'm appalled and fearful for her.
Beauty is definitely a a double edged sword.... u should check out Malena played by Monica Bellucci it's an Italian movie about beauty and how its a blessing and a curse
My mother-in-law was beautiful very early in life and stayed that way into middle age. It limited her life in so many ways, and she never felt comfortable in the world. I wish your daughter the best, hope she has true friends and loved ones, and so much more. Beauty can be a curse.
It's not a flex either. My niece has the same problem and she's very nice with a huge heart
MY MOM ME AND ALL MY SISTER'S MY AUNTS 2 WOMEN JUMPED MY MOM ONCE BECAUSE THAT B*TCH THOUGHT SHE WAS BETTER SHE WAS PREGNANT AND MISCARRIED TWINS MY DAD WAS CRAZED WITH HER I WON'T GET INTO BUT ALWAYS AFRAID SOME GUY WAS LOOKING
For some reason I don't feel MUCH sympathy for y'all and your "hot people problems". I mean, as a human I have SOME human empathy... but as an ugly middle-aged man, I really don't feel much of it in this context. Despite the inconvenience and minor harassment, Hot People have OPTIONS that regular people do not.
I thought I was crazy that it's harder to use an eyelash curler easily now- the eyes really do sink back!!
That remind me the movie The Irish , where they d-aged the whole cast to make them look 30 years younger and the effect was good but they continue to move like older men, so it cause that uncanny valley anyway, is like in the old days when women used to do moisturise and care for their faces and forgetting the neck, so the face end up much younger than the neck lol
"The Irishman". Fantastic movie. I watched it TWICE in one year.
Somehow I still feel very uneasy looking at "enhanced faces" and even the photos taken by phones coz they're so much distorted. 😂
I've come to find faces repulsive.
I used to find those that had lots of work looking pretty good but strangely now my appreciation of beauty is towards more of a unique look. I don’t know why.
That being said I’m currently glad to be healing from a breast reduction/balancing surgery one year post lumpectomy. It really put pep in my step!
The choice of thumbnail is killing me 😝
why ?
Same 😂
That's why I clicked!!!!
I sometimes experience fear when I see certain people's faces. My guess is that something within me is registering something's not right/natural. (In a couple of instances of this I later found out they had been using botox for years).
It's cuz you're experiencing a real-life version of "uncanny valley"
These Botoxed people are ruining our psychopath who doesn't really smile for real filters
I remember over 40 years ago in school our class watching a video on robots. It showed the synthetic skin and how they talked and moved. I remember the last statement of that movie. The statement was pretty soon you won't know who's real and who's a robot. That really stuck in my head and now to hear these same words over 40 years later and seeing the reality of it is amazing!😊
Doctor Gary, you need your own Netflex content on plastic surgery on the do's and don'ts,etc.
I had a VERY negative opinion about plastic surgery growing up in the 90s, as people like Jocelyn Wildenstein, Michael Jackson, Joan Rivers and Mickey Rourke were constantly talked about on TV. I had never seen, plastic surgery look.... Good. It was all either 'Melted-Face' or 'No-Expression-Eyebrows' or people with abnormally sharp and pointy breasts or just, features blown out of proportion. (Or the ever classic BOTCHED shows) You've single-handedly, opened my eyes to a whole new world that I never saw before. The world where it's done right and you often never know because it looks natural. I was taught as a young kid to love myself and my appearance, whether I was a pimple-faced teenager or an adult with crooked teeth. I was taught to love my insecurities so I never saw the other side of people who were perhaps not taught that - or, who were taught that but understood what you're trying to teach so many people. You've opened my eyes to what you do and why people want plastic surgery or even need it in some cases, squashing my ignorance on the topic and with it any judgemental thoughts I used to have. I've been fortunate so far to not have any deforming accidents, or a feature that stands out so much that people treat me differently. But when aging hits me and I look in the mirror and feel like the person looking back isn't me anymore, I will likely look into plastic options without the guilt and judgement and ignorance of feeling like, wanting to do something good for me is somehow wrong.
I think balance in all things is very important. I don't think AI and filters are better than plastic surgery, because it's teaching you to hide your insecurities - rather than be comfortable in your own skin. I think that plastic surgery, can help you be comfortable but if someone is going in for a permanent alteration - I would hope they're told everything that you teach people here. They don't need a procedure to be valuable or worthy, but that it's okay, to do things to make yourself feel good - just make sure you're doing stuff for you, for the right reasons.
❤❤ 💯
You used to be right… it is a bad thing. Nobody needs plastic surgery for cosmetic reasons. Nobody debates it for birth defects or deforming accidents… but building a world where everyone wants to look the same and everyone is afraid to age is not positive. I don’t understand why people can’t find a happy medium. Yes it should be ok for people WHO ACTUALLY NEED IT. Not people who simply don’t wanna age or wanna look like celebrities. You should allow yourself to age gracefully btw. Please don’t alter your face. Everyone should love themselves for who they are. For their differences. That’s what we should be striving for. You were raised properly, don’t change that.
Agree. I saw a video of a young woman who had a lot of work done, and a comment under one video that got a ton of likes said that she never needed surgery and simply needed to learn how to do contour. This was strange to me. Why is painting the face with camouflage to fool people preferable? Contour only looks good in selfies. I see the stripes on noses and jawlines in sunlight. If some people don't want to do it then that is fine for them. It won't fix underlying emotional problems or be a substitute for therapy. But the right surgery performed by the right surgeon is life-changing.
@@SocialExperiment232 I appreciate your perspective and your kind words! My mom was able to age gracefully, so I have high hopes. Whenever I look back on my past I'm able to understand things now I wasn't able to understand then and I guess I always want to leave room going forward that I may not be able to understand now how I'll feel in the future, especially if society and technology is nothing like it is now. I agree that the ultimate goal, is to always be comfortable in your own skin.
This hit me right in the feel 🥺❤️
The Floptropica and Jiafei mention at 19.31 😂
How much of this is a fear of dying, an attempt to stop the inevitable? At some point your body starts breaking down and you're still trying to look twenty years younger.. What does that say about how you feel about your ethnicity when you no longer look like anyone in your family? I have my father's bump on my nose showing my Italian heritage and I would never change that.
Eyyy! Ohhh! You gon' talk 'bout yer fadda like dat? FuhGETaboutiiii...!
😂
I’m so here for your take on Edvasian 😆
I think people should just assume anyone online is using all available tools to look their best including not really existing lol. Also the line for me is looking unnatural/ like I'm not myself. But the line for everyone else should be what makes them happy/surgeon agrees is safe etc.
I just know that when I watch movies, I can’t tell many of the young pretty people apart, so I definitely find character faces more interesting.

@@ChineduOpara who is the female hollywood version of him?
@en2336 Not sure. But there are many actresses who are not conventionally attractive (anymore) but who look interesting and really do a good job in their roles. How about that woman who played Eric Foreman's mom in "That 70s Show", and who was also a house guest in Disney-Marvel's "WandaVision"? I forgot her name. And frankly she's still kind of pretty (to me) for an older lady...
It's weird. Ever since my back pain got markedly worse (and because of that I move like I'm in pain), people often now think I'm a senior citizen. I'm only 56.... Until I was in my 40s I regularly looked ten years younger than my age. In my 40s I started to look my age. Now I look older than my age.
Me too. It's stress and depression that help our faces "catch up" to our chronological ages
55 is when you qualify for senior citizen housing, discounts.
@@ChineduOpara Yes, that makes sense. I never really thought of it that way. I've been stressed and depressed all my life. It just didn't show as age when I was younger.
@Someone-kg8qf Well, I was thinking about the places that counted over age 64 as being "senior". That's why it suprised me.
@@donnaknudson7296It is usually considered at age 62, more so than 55 or 64.
Your facial expressions are everything 😂😂
I don't use heavy filters, if at all. Especially on a dating site. They're gonna know the real you eventually!!🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Hey Dr, just wanted to see that I love your content and I think that you are a fantastic person with such a humble attitude and I really appreciate it.
A fun experiment with light wavelengths, three low power lasers, one red, one green, and one blue, all in a dark room onto a phosphorescent surface. The blue and green activate it, while the red takes away the glowing. I suspect the red light takes away the excess energy from the cellular proteins too.
Your videos always fasinate me, thanks for the knowledge!
Thank you for your videos I appreciate your integrity!!!
Surprised the thumbnail wasn't a pic of a heavily filtered Dr Gary 😆
This film is awesome, Doctor Gary❤
I used to have a flat nose that went across half my face and everybody would ask me if I was albino... Used to have a really fat wide face and wide jaw... Aging has caused my face to sag a little bit which has given me more of a oval face with v-jaw... My nose is no longer flat and half of my face... Age has absolutely changed my face and honestly I like it better
Girl you’re so pretty don’t pay no mind. I was same way, esp being Asian w flat nose and wide face… I use to cry in the mirror and vowed to myself as a 15 yr old girl I’d get everythint to my face done… from my nose to my jaw line to my eyes etc.. as I got older, well… you can see my pfp here. Idk perhaps I just grew into my face and more confidence , or maybe as we age our face does change? Have you ever heard of
Mewing? Apparently you can naturally change the shape of your jawline/profile if you were to practice this certain exercise that includes your tongue placement in mouth. Crazy right???
Dr.gary u are so kind, handsome,and genuine . giving your opinion without bashing ❤❤
In my opinion, this is your best video. Thank you. Who are we trying to look like and why?
I'm actually very happy with what my 30s are doing to my face. I've finally outgrown my teens/early-20s awkward duckling phase and it's nice to see myself settling into my full adult look. It's kinda sad that so many people don't allow themselves to feel this way because of how much media has made people fear aging.
Sure, applying liquid eyeliner has gotten trickier now that my eyelids aren't so smooth anymore, and I can no longer sleep like a pretzel without my back complaining for a week straight, but getting older has still been a net positive so far.
Wow. Ugly duckling phase for me was early adolescence, 12-13. Young adulthood (18-22) was my best time. Still looked nice in my 30s, even 40s, but young adulthood was peak beauty. I can't imagine ever considering my 18-20 year old self as an ugly duckling!
@@dammar117 Not an ugly duckling, an awkward duckling. Maybe it's because I had pimples and braces at the age of 18-20, but I would not consider that age to be my personal peak. I guess I'm a late bloomer
We seriously need to normalise being an ugly duckling and drop the myth that you reach your life's peak in your late teens. Puberty hits hard on the body and it often takes years to level out, and all the "hot teenagers" in Hollywood movies are played by actors in their 20s for a reason.
@@blondbraid7986 Late teens is not puberty. Puberty (the early stage of adolescence) is long over by then. Not sure what "hot teenagers" means, since "teenage" only means an age ending with the suffix "teen." You can be an adolescent teenager (most of the time), hence an awkward duckling, but you can also be a young adult teenager if you're a female of 18-19. And if a 19-year-old character is played by a 20-year-old actress, well, that's perfectly normal.
I draw the line for myself at any procedure, but if it was for a medical reason of any kind I would jump at the chance to have my old face back. I feel that our 'fantasy' idea of ourselves should stay in games and that reality is reality and we need to work on our emotions, not our faces.
I have a dumb question : is it safe to travel by plane after this amount of surgery (I'm around minute 13). I feel like if you're very swollen, the pressure... I don't know 😅
Never a dumb question. Cabins are pressurized so that wouldn't be a problem.
Maybe a risk of blood clots like dvt...Just google travelling after surgery maybe. Keeping hydrated, getting up to move and compression socks help that sort of thing if it's long haul. It's weird though, the pressurised cabin seems to affect me. Everytime I go on a flight I get a massive toothache, like one of my back teeth are about to pop out. I even had a back molar break just after I got off a flight. Might be something to do with the inner ear, altitude and pressure? Who's knows? I've never looked into it 😅
@@tinekejoldersmaWell, I still feel the difference in pressure in my eardrums, I can imagine even small changes to be painful if you are swollen and has all kinds of post-surgery complications.
@@blondbraid7986 Read into the Eustachian tube; it's a slow-working organ that gives different feelings of discomfort in the ear. The post-operation discomfort is not tied to her question. Nobody should fly after an operation but closely be monitored. The reason why these people wanted to fly after the operation was tied to their visa.
I don’t think I would allow them to get onto my plane if I was a pilot…I just don’t think it’s healthy just after an operation.🤨
Brilliant video - Great insights! ✌🏽
who is that asian guy ?
Ironically I don’t see many male plastic surgeons online going for perfection!
I’m 75 and I don’t have the money to have plastic surgery so the only thing I can do is eat healthy, do intermittent fasting half the month, exercise every day and meditate! So far it has helped me to stay in shape and look and act a lot younger than I am even though my skin is getting wrinkly but it’s the way you present yourself that’s counteracting age!
The airport guy looked so cute in the passport photo. why would he want to alter this beautiful face 😮
This is very sad.... People will do anything to get views, likes and approval. All thanks to crappy social media. I guess you can't stop it's but there's going to be a lot of mentally tortured people in the future. Thank God He keeps me sane ❤
Yeah, I definitively blame social media, because people feeling ugly has always existed, but they weren't pushed to compare themselves to thousands of perfectly edited faces daily before.
That girl at 19:49 doesn't look human. Thanks for linking to the original video.
I entered 40 recently and I realized i was blind when I was younger thinking that I’m ugly! Bc I didn’t love myself until Jesus saved me and started to heal my soul ❤️🩹 and delivered from lies. And now I just want to be like me again when I was younger and look nice ❤
By the way dr. Your skin is beautiful 🤍 and thank you for the discussion
God bless you
Late 30s mom here. I don't really use social media. I have FB account I buy and sell with. The picture is our cow. I learned years ago that it was absolutely shocking and basically unheard of to recognize the person that came to my house to pick something up from their Facebook photo. I cannot count, literally cannot count the number of times I assumed a teenage girl or young woman was coming to pick something up. And it was a very overweight 30s 40s women. I don't care either way, but for security I do check out who is coming to my house. 😂😅 The short answer, a women way older and way fatter than the half filter images in their pictures.
😂😂😂😂😂 True!!!!
Tell em doc! I hate people that think they know what they are talking about!
The line is: do what makes you happy. The world is cruel; you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
I know that people with money would pay anything to look youthful. But nothing lasts forever, even plastic surgeries. I have met some people who have learned how to age gracefully. They carry their wrinkles like a badge of courage and wisdom. I think people who use filters suffer from low self-esteem. People will love you for yourself if you accept your flaws and all. No one is truly perfect.
Hey! I have an idea. Can you do a video on Susan Lucci? She swears she hasn't had surgery, but she looks so damn good for her age. But, she also looks natural to me. Please?!
She looks natural to me. My mum is 67 and looks about 40 and she has had no surgery she just eats incredibly well and exercises well and had a healthy lifestyle always.
Oh and always wears good quality natural skincare and sun protection. She took good care of her skin and hair always.
Sometimes genetics plays a role too. I’m 30 but people often tell me I look 19-21. I know this must be due to my mum’s slow aging genes.
But yes I’d be very interested to see Dr Linkov’s analysis of her face too!
Ok, so if Brazilian butt lifts can kill you with the fat seepage for a not doctor term. Will adding fat to your face to fill it out be horrendously dangerous considering the blood supply to the face is so close to the brain??
YES. YES it can.
I’ve never had a desire to meet anyone online.
If do not make someone’s acquaintance in person, not interested.
LOVE YOU LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, DR.! YOU'RE SO SWEET AND RESPECTFUL 😊
I don’t use any filters. The most I will do is edit out a really bad pimple 😂 but now that I’m in my 30s I don’t really have to do that anymore
11:16 That's true. Do you have to get passport photos and stuff redone if you get surgery that changes your face?
Getting old is the most natural part of life, but we have been made to belive that we should fight the aging process.
Interpersonal communications will solve this. We need more face to face contact , not social media ?
In the West, People don't do that anymore ... too risky and problematic.
Remember how Ross said to Rachel about their daughter, what if she gets your real nose😊
The swollen lips/blow up love doll look I just can't comprehend... I want to go all the way and get my scramble suite ala A Scanner Darkly.... That would be fun...
Dr Gary (lol like my uncle Dr Gary Skaletsky Neurosurgeon) is probably the only doctor id let touch my face via surgery
I don't buy the "if it makes you feel more confident, then do it." No, go to the gym. Go to therapy. Go meditate. Go cultivate some self-awareness. Go do something with your life that doesn't revolve around your looks. Learn to just accept your lot in life. Work with what you have. Everything I said takes work, I know, but nothing genuine and lasting comes from a quick fix.
Well said. It’s clearly evident that one “enhancement” leads to another, as we’ve seen with the so called celebrities.
It’s not even about money, as the British royal family, and aristocracy don’t appear to have cosmetic surgery. They’re clearly happy with the way they look.
Yes I always say we all gonna look like crap when we get old so workout while your young so when it’s time to start aging u wanna give the reaper of beauty a fight for it’s money when u start hitting 50
I workout, I've been in therapy for many years, I've meditated for going on 5 years now. I engage in self-aware retrospection very frequently. You know what my therapist said when I told her I want a rhinoplasty? She told me to do it, because it would make me feel more confident. I ran it by my psych and GP, who were both nothing but supportive. You may not "BuY iT", but it's a perfectly valid option for a lot of people and people like you would do well to stop judging. You're not better than anyone that gets cosmetic surgery. Honestly, you're probably a worse person due to the judgmental, 'holier than thou' attitude you have.
@@Exclusive1011111111 Working out won't give a mom that's had five children a tummy tuck, working out won't reduce the size of someone's nose, working out won't give someone a face lift, working out won't give a breast cancer patient who's had a double mastectomy new breasts that make her feel like a human being again. Fuck the judgmental attitude you two have.
@@Ash-ow5yc right.... I'm a bad person cause you don't agree with me. Okay.
*here’s something to consider, my identical twin sister and I looked 10 years apart. She always tanned in our younger years, smoked a little.(not much) and didn’t manage her stress well whereas I’ve always avoided the sun, didn’t smoke or a drink(still don’t), and don’t stress about things that are out of my control. I also set things up for “just in case“ moments, such as the pandemic.*
I always felt awful for her when she would introduce me to her friends or in-laws and they thought I was her younger sister. They were going to do studies on us, but unfortunately, I lost her due to medical malpractice. I like knowing approximately what she would still look like if she were still here simply by looking at myself.*
Your face when he says some really *ahem* problematic things. lolol
Aint gonna lie, thumbnail is working
After my facial plastic surgery I was locked out of my phone since it no longer recognized my face and I was in a foreign country with Stolen Device Protection on. I didn’t have any issues with immigration though 😮💨
Your videos are just too addictive
This is so fascinating
Pre-covid when fish lips and shiny foreheads were just beginning to trend, I would serve many women of all ages who obviously had the procedure done and it would activate my inner cringe as they looked like monsters - especially the older women. 😬
Did you do an update on your hair-back process? was it only partly successful? Please let us know if there's a video on it.
Doctor Linkov... have you done any videos on anti-wrinkle creams that actually work?
Doctor Gary Linkov! Don't you read the comments! We've already told you the younger man didn't have a plastic surgery with the doctor, never met. He is suing the doctor for using his photo. Before and After aren't related. They're 2 different people. Older man is a photo from the USA, younger man a photo from Turkiye. Both never met the doctor or have been to the clinic.
No, the USA is more lenient. In Turkiye, they're not allowed even show such photoes as proof of a good surgeon. Turkish doctors can't sel products or sponser a company, product unlike the USA. However, those photoes were directed outside of Turkiye. Turkish people wouldn't have seen it in Turkiye. Infact, the USA is very lenient even with skin creams etc.
I agree: it's not always so easy to say. My own feeling, with makeup specifically, is that makeup that is intended to look as if the wearer has no makeup on at all is questionably ethical.
Dr gary sounds like dr youn like he taken a chill pill.😊
Maybe Cali accent?
