I'd have to agree. I've only recently begun to watch a couple of the most popular plastic surgery channels on this platform with Dr. Linkov's being the third and I quickly found that I much prefer Dr. Linkov's take on plastic surgery procedures. It's not just his empathy but concise layperson's explanation of what's involved balanced with possible outcomes and complications. That's crucial in my eyes because at that point a person's expectations, desires, fears and everything else not necessarily physically related can be addressed. I would feel utterly confident in his hands.

I know that in Korea the v-line surgery is very popular with both men and women. They want a slim face. When I visited Japan I have so many people compliment my "small face". So maybe that's why Eugene thinks his face is too large. I love his facial structure and it seems like most people also agree that his face is pretty much perfect.

@Flawlesslmperfection

I agree, I think Eugene has very nice facial structure. To add on to what you said, a v-line jaw is part of having a 'small face,' but it's also the ratio of the size of your head/face compared to the size of your body/height. At least that was how it was explained to me while I was living in Korea for 2 years (and I still don't understand exactly what the 'ratio' is supposed to be in order to have a 'small face').

Best decision, bullying stopped and my confidence has been great ever since. I feel that if something is very distracting in the face area it can destroy a persons confidence and even life.

I asked her why she would ever let her children go through all the bullying that she had and she said "but I don't want them to think they aren't perfect the way they were born". Trust me. They can see in the mirror that they aren't perfect.

So...when I was a teen (around 14-15 I'd say), I went to see this ENT doctor because I couldn't breathe properly through my nose. He said I needed a Turbinate Reduction, which was a horrible experience, but I went through with it. Long story short, it did not help at all, not even 1%. I went back to check in with the doctor and he said that I ACTUALLY need a septoplasty and since he's doing it he wants to "fix" the way my nose looks as well, because it's not "upturned enough". I was absolutely furious. I've always loved my nose. I think it has a nice shape that suits my face. I walked straight out of his office. It's horrible when someone tells you what you need to change about you to look pretty....especially when you don't ask for it.

I would love to see you go into the history of plastic surgery in Korea and their obsession with it. It's basically seen like getting braces here in the US, so I'm really curious.

I wasn't a fan of the doctor in their video. He seemed to be playing on their insecurities more than necessary even when you account for trying to make an entertaining video. It seemed like he was trying to make a sale and maybe it's because I'm British but I tend to think a doctor should never try and sell you anything. Even a plastic surgeon, one of the few fields in Britain that is mostly private, should only be helping you feel more confident, letting you know the options and helping you to make an informed decision based on their experience.

Urm Eugene has mentioned multiple times that his low confidence about his appearance is also due to how he was bullied for his looks IN America. For a long time now, Americans have been shaming Asian males. It’s only been pretty recent that america has become more open minded towards Asians in general. Those Asian boys that tend to have more prettier faces usually faced the worst of it when they came to the west, being ridiculed by westerners saying they don’t look “masculine” enough. They could not meet American standards which always leaned towards men having to look more masculine. Now because of kpop, there are more westerners who like that sort of “pretty boy” look. No matter how you look, there will be critics and compliments based on where you are and based on what their beauty standards are.

I was convinced Eugene had some kind of body dysmorphia. Everyone is insecure about something but he can not believe he has all this things "wrong" with his face.

I FOUND MYSELF APPRECIATING YOU EVEN MORE THAN I ALREADY DO DR. LINKOV, and with that same intensity, found myself feeling anger burn in me listening to that self-inflated other surgeon who effortlessly helped make those very nice looking young men feel inadequate or even ugly. The surgeon used some very childish negative words (far from professional) to describe features and I wish people wouldn't support him in his practice. As a teenager, I went to a plastic surgeon to have warts removed from the back of my hands and he incredibly asked me if I ever considered having my "puppet-mouth" fixed. WHAT?! I'm now in my mid 60s and have since had 2 lower facelifts. In all my years since that visit, I can't look at myself without seeing a "puppet-mouth" even though I had never even been aware of such a thing prior. And who has a "puppet-mouth" in their teens?! It's easy to label people's features with thoughtless and ridiculous labels, and grievously those comments stick with us --- most times robbing us of fully appreciating all the great things about us we do have. It takes a lot of work to erase words put over us, especially when those words have come from someone you would normally look up to. I find you Dr. Linkov, extremely meticulous in how you express things while sharing great insight. You have sensitivity and are shown to highly respect those who come to you. You're absolutely, wonderful!

This is a lovely, very compassionate, and intelligent talk on this subject. Thanks for the humanity

I have also always had flabbier arms for some reason that I didn’t like. To me, one looks slightly bigger than the other but I wasn’t searching for perfection anything is an improvement. Fat grafting will last you years! 🤍

I just wish i could help myself with that little work😝

I wish I could come visit Dr. Linkov's office not for a consultation but just to have a nice chat! Dude is so down to earth and a voice of reason!

I have marcus gunn syndrome so I have ptosis on one eye and it winks when I open my mouth. a doctor tried convincing my parents to give me a cosmetic surgery on my eye when I was a baby and I'm so glad they said no. I love having a unique eye and also surgery sounds painful and I would like to avoid it at all costs 😂 I still get stares and questions every time I go out and eat something.

A lot of people in Korea still subscribe to physiognomy to a degree, but honestly the main issue is that getting a job can be difficult since photos are required for a job application and suddenly that first impression matters, even just to get an interview. Additionally, because cosmetic procedures have become so common, after a certain point it became pretty normal. Some people will even pop in for a filler appointment during their lunch break.

That reminds me of these books I read in middle school I think it was called The Pretties or something

I love how natural your face looks like, Dr. Like you've had no surgery. I think that's beautiful ! ❤

I love how respectful you are. I'm not even into plastic surgery but you came up randomly and I can't stop watching you. I love the message that you're spreading.

you are so knowledgeable, and seem so poised and realistic for your age that youd be the first doctor id choose for surgery if i were in NYC and wanted to get sth done. Do you meditate? you sound very wise. And i ive read about what you say, too perfect a symmetry makes faces look almost unhuman and the eye doesnt consider that really beautiful, but it does if its a little asymmetric but proportioned instead! Keep it up, you look so handsome, too!

Definitely glad i found this channel. Subscribed yesterday and I’ve already watched most of the top videos. 😂

I loved this video. I never thought this was something I'd love.

Loved this! So important to feel comfortable in ones own body. Not only comfortable but thankful. 💖

I've watched this video before (the Try Guys one) but now that I'm looking at it with your perspective I'm a little worried that that dr is power tripping.

I would be interesting to understand if those with black, and brown skin would be suitable candidates for the various types of plastic surgeries you show in your videos. This relates to keloid formation, pigmentation and cultural/ethic issues that (nose shape for instance) arise with darker skin individuals. Thank You

Great point. I try to shine light on this throughout my social media channels when the opportunity arises. Recently posted an ethic lip lift on Insta.

That's so interesting about the Asian guy being called ugly!?! I definitely have a preference as a 44 yrold black woman but tbh I think he is VERY handsome! He makes me rethink what I like😍How you doin???

15:00 those ears are so cute though I would love to have them🥺 I also got bullied for my moles and kids called me witch and my father and other relatives said I should have them removed but now I absolutely love them and I am happy I didn’t do anything about them. I think parents shouldn’t make aesthetic decisions as harsh as surgery for their children. Kids are bullies that doesn’t mean I should’ve changed myself because they had to make dumb jokes they didn’t even think more than two seconds about.

Really like your opinions on this, super impartial and caring

From the age of 10 I was making lists detailing all the cosmetic surgery I believed I “needed.” Now, I’m 25 and I have a job that almost entirely revolves around my looks and figure. I always have to look like somebody that’s worth (eek) a large sum of money, and it’s a real onus. I’m naturally somebody to look after my appearance, but sometimes my career takes it to another level and it becomes painful. I’m agonizingly aware of my “flaws”: Slightly crooked and larger nose+deviated septum, slightly recessed chin, fuller cheeks… I try to comfort myself by also noticing my good features, like my eyes and my cheekbones etc. But still, I feel like I’m constantly obsessing. Your videos have really been helping me achieve a healthier perspective. I still intend on improving the parts of my appearance that I’m not fond of, but I no longer believe that I need to do some insane overhaul. It’s terrible to think about how hard on myself I’ve always been. Thank you for being so empathetic when it comes to the subjects of your videos, you’ve really improved my mindset :)

ive honestly never really wanted anything except an earlobe reduction, which i told someone once and they were like, wtf are you talking about lollll no one has ever said anything to me about my ears but im soo uncomfortable with them :/

self-love is tough when it comes to appearance. you tend to be your own biggest enemy in that aspect. you don’t have to love your appearance 100% , but i hope it brings you some relief in knowing that you will always be much more critical of your own appearance. we’re very harsh on ourselves as humans. those who see you on the outside won’t perceive you the same way you perceive yourself. there is beauty in all humans , we’re all different.

I bit into my lip real hard, I left the tissue back on. However, I went to see a plastic surgeon in the area and he cut off way too much causing my lip to crease and look irregular now anytime I speak or resting face. I'm looking forward to reaching it out see what you can do, thank you.

Got it. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I think the symmetrical studies show that people have a preference for asymmetrical faces partially due to the way the photo was taken and partially due to imperfections that were mirrored. For example, if a nose is crooked, it’s going to look worse mirrored. I think that if you were to adjust the features of a photo of a face instead of mirroring so that the features are more symmetrical, you’re going to find people prefer symmetrical faces, especially when the better features are the baseline.

I find your perspective consistently objective. Unlike many professionals in the industry, you are far more reasonable about what your goals are in meeting your patient's goal. I appreciate your genuine goodwill toward people. You avoid promising unrealistic results and I think it makes you credible and trustworthy.

The fact that I got an add for 75% off rhinoplasties in Mexico is ridiculous 😅

fascinating channel! your history of hair loss is especially interesting.

I love how you explained about beauty 👍👏

Whys this channel so underated ?

Eugene is effing perfect.

Im a female in my 20s who has had those balding peaks that men get my whole life. They have always been the same and never gotten worse but they were quite bald so I really didnt like them. I was seriously considering getting a hair transplant but then I tried minoxidil. It has worked WONDERS! I know that it doesn't work for everybody but it did for me. So I just want to throw that out there to all the people being selfconsious over some balding. Try it! It was not very expensive if you dont buy the name-brand, around 35 euros for 4-5 months use :)

Hahaha "OH and make sure to MOISTURIZE BOY!"

All of the potential clients look great just the way they are! And so are you Doc!

Love this channel - quality content! 😊

My ears stick out, and when I was very young our family doctor suggested otoplasty, a common procedure. My parents said no, and it was absolutely the wrong decision. I've accepted my ears now, but it was miserable growing up, especially as a teen/early 20s. I wouldn't wear a ponytail in front of people until my 30s. Even my parents regretted it. You're right, it can be a healthy choice for parents to make.

This ^ I was bullied for my ears too (they’re not so much large as they are at a weird angle that sticks out) and I hated them forever. Now I’m 29 and I’ve learned to live with them but I’d definitely rather have ears that don’t look huge from the front.

Is it possible to combine lipflip with an open approach rhinoplasty. Ergo, can you do both with the one scar under the nose?

another entertaining vid for me to get ready for bed thank u sir always 😌😌

I feel so bad the Korean guy critiqued his face so much. He's gorgeous and has a great distinct look ♥️

Gonna be real, the only difference I liked was when they all got stronger chins. I can't deny I thought that looked really good.

@zvezdoblyat

2 жыл бұрын

Weak chins aren’t attractive in general, that’s why

idk, id probably go even further and say you shouldnt make those decisions until your early to mid 20s, because it takes time in your maturity for your face to fully mature, i look back to what i looked like when i was 18 now being 21, and i look pretty different, no telling how different ill look when im 25, could look better than i am now

They are all so attractive in different ways. They need nothing!

"Oooh Make sure you moisturize, Boy!"

I love how you use a Mayo stand for your laptop. I've done this many times as well lol

I want masseter Botox for my tmj and clenching but I have a pretty narrow jaw to begin and think it would throw off the balance of my face, are there ways to minimize the shrinking of the muscle??

Hiya, will you do a critique on the plastic surgery that Toyah Wilcox had some 17 years back ? ( Diary of a facelift ) I thought it was the best it just took years off her face and she looked gorgeous. I love your vids very informative and enjoyable - thanks 🙋🏼‍♀️ 🤗 💐 🦩

I was so lucky with my nose surgery. I broke my nose at 9. Then 40 years later I REALLY broke it. Like in two places. First surgery went ok but the left side collapsed. I was so upset. Doc went in again with a open (he didn't tell me). 6 months out and I LOVE my nose now. First time in 40 years I'm not self conscious.

I laughed so hard when he thought he was getting a full face lift 🤣 and doc says he might have misunderstood the explanation..I feel like that would be me jumping to conclusions and being dead wrong haha

I can’t believe this guy still likes and replies after four months lol

You are so humble and sweet doctor sir !!

I'm literally VERY asymmetrical. To make you all feel better: i have obvious crooked teeth, a slightly bent nose bridge, a dog ear and no dog ear and one is bigger than the other, no jaw nor chin, rib cage asymmetry, two hallux valgus feet , one worse than the other, i got uneven hip bones, extremely long arms.... And no i don't have a disease or disorder that is that noticable or strange but all these things bother me plus i got bad body acne.... Most of this is for life btw....

When you're talking to a plastic surgeon about potential work and he basically tells you you're perfect then starts showing you his muscles lol.
