Justin Bieber sparks hair transplant rumors after showing fuller tresses on Instagram: A doctor shares his opinion
Linkov’s recent video has caught the attention of fans with two striking images, hinting at a possible transformation in Bieber’s hairline over the past two years.
Linkov speculated that the pop star may have undergone a hair transplant procedure as he has rarely been spotted without a hat or hood to hide his head in recent years. An image analyzed by Linkov, taken during the 2022 Super Bowl in Inglewood, California, showed ‘Peaches’ with a shaved head, showing a receding hairline and thinning hair.
However, another image posted by the artist himself on Instagram last week depicts a surprisingly full head of hair, with a straight and even hairline.
Linkov remarked: “When I look at his forehead, [the hairline is now] much flatter, it doesn’t have that recession and when the hair is wet, you can tell the regularity of it [hairline]so it looks like maybe he had a transplant.”

As mentionted with The Daily Mailanother expert gave his two cents about Bieber’s seemingly fuller new look.
Dr. Jim Harrisanother plastic surgeon from New York recently said, “There is no drug that will reverse the receding hairline. I think, based on [photos]I’d say he’s probably had hair restoration surgery.”
In his aforementioned new post, Linkov added:[Bieber] he started wearing all these hats [in 2022] and covers his hair so it’s hard to tell what’s going on. Remember, a hair transplant can take up to a year and a half to see the final results.”
Both Linkov and Harris have pointed out that Bieber often wears head coverings such as hats or hoods while performing in public. This practice, according to doctors, may have hidden any visible signs of hair growth resulting from a hair transplant procedure.

“In a photo from 2023 I notice that Justin’s hairline looks flatter,” Harris said. He continued: “A few years before this in 2018, she had a definite receding, very combed frontal hairline. [But] now it’s flatter on its forehead — much more linear.’
According to the surgeons, the “Yummy” artist most likely underwent a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) procedure to restore his lost hair, especially on the upper corners of his face. This technique involves extracting hair follicles from the back of the head and transplanting them to the front to replace the lost hair.
The procedure can also hide any scarring on the back of the head, making it difficult to detect if someone has had the procedure.
According to Linkov, it is estimated that Bieber may have undergone a transplant involving as many as 1,800 follicles, which is in the upper range of the typical number of 500 to 1,500.
