Donald Trump’s iconic hairstyle has been a topic of discussion for years, and now a New York City-based cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Gary Linkov, has offered his expert insight into the former president’s evolving locks. In a recent YouTube video, Dr. Linkov suggested that Trump may have undergone five separate hair transplant surgeries, shedding light on the secrets behind the enigmatic hairdo.
Throughout his presidency, Trump’s blonde coiffure garnered nearly as much attention as his political decisions. Vanity Fair famously likened it to a “dead, furry lobster,” while the New York Post labeled it “bizarre.” Accusations of a secret combover and speculations about hair transplants swirled around him.
Dr. Linkov’s analysis delves into Trump’s hair journey, beginning with a photograph of the former president at the age of four in 1950, showing the natural part of his hair. The surgeon then traced Trump’s changing hairline through the years, highlighting shifts in parting, hair density, and forehead size.
The analysis suggests that Trump may have undergone different types of hair transplant procedures, including plug grafts, rotational flap surgeries, and follicular unit transplantation (FUT) or follicular unit extraction (FUE). Dr. Linkov believes that Trump’s hair journey likely involved a combination of these procedures to achieve his distinctive look.
While some viewers found humor in the analysis and shared jokes about Trump’s hair, others defended him, emphasizing the importance of focusing on more pressing issues. The video received significant attention on social media, sparking discussions on both sides of the spectrum.
Whether a matter of fascination or humor, Trump’s ever-changing mane continues to capture public interest, demonstrating the enduring curiosity surrounding the man who once occupied the highest office in the land.
