As reported by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), nearly a quarter million more cosmetic procedures were performed in 2018 than in 2017. While this is not a new trend, the consumer’s mindset is not necessarily about changing the way they look. Rather, it’s about becoming their best self—by looking the same, yet better.
In any case, when consumers choose a plastic surgeon, they want peace of mind regarding the provider’s medical standing. They want clarity on what procedures are offered and what procedures are most often performed. Moreover, they want confidence in the level of patient satisfaction and a commitment to transparency. These values represent the high consumer trust standards of the RealSelf Network, an exclusive members-only community of top-level doctors.
Recently, Dr. Gary Linkov of City Facial Plastics became RealSelf verified, joining the distinguished network that only 3% of doctors get to be part of. As a dual Ivy League educated facial plastic surgeon in New York City, Dr. Linkov’s philosophy is based on personalization and communication. Dr. Linkov’s core ideals have allowed him to connect with individuals and serve them with a deep understanding of their needs, hopes and desires. As such, Dr. Linkov has earned superior reviews from his patients, many of which highlight his thoughtfulness and ability to listen, along with his intelligence and extreme attention to aesthetic details.
Gary Linkov, MD, attended Cornell University, graduating as Salutatorian with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. He then obtained his medical degree from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, while also conducting advanced head and neck cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. He completed his residency training in Head & Neck Surgery at Temple Head and Neck Institute, serving as Chief Resident during his final year. Following residency, Dr. Linkov completed an accredited American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis.
Throughout his studies, Dr. Linkov pursued advanced art training in painting, sketching and sculpture. He volunteered as an art therapist and led a Smile Train chapter at his school to help children with cleft lips and palates. During his fellowship, he successfully ran a facial plastic surgery service where he performed reconstructive facial surgeries for veterans in need.
At the helm of City Facial Plastics, Dr. Linkov combines his artistic sense and intricate knowledge of anatomy to deliver exceptional patient care that’s consistent and safe.
