“Silvio” 1000 FUE to frontal hairline and temple reconstruction. Before and after results, side by side video comparison.
How many hours would something like this require? Can this be done all in 1 day?

Yes, it can be done in one day…However
The transecton rate and irreversible donor damage would be much greater.
The scalp shock to the temples and frontal hairline would be much greater.
The frontal hair angles would be erratic.
The yield and density would be less etc
If I were to present such a result and get away with it, I would need carefully cherry picked DARK , angled, combover “STILLS” , and shills repeadedly telling hypnotised viewers how wonderful it looks.
When these dubious and blatantly fudged results are shown, then, ACE, ask a question to the photographer such as " hey…BRA, don’t you have a HD VIDEO SAMSUNG/APPLE smartphone in your hip pocket…use that with another scientific breakthrough called a " COMB " and really show what the heck is going on …"
That said, a hairtransplant is an optional extra in life and is in no way guarenteed to enhance or improve your life, no more than owning a Ferrari…nice , but not essential
You have one head. Treat it with care and respect. Otherwise, don’t rush procedures to save a buck. Accept baldness as natural and masculine. That is better than risking a negative result.
To answer the question, it took 2 consecutive days. There was no compromise. The patient looks great, he is ecstatic, and I am proud of my personal work.

Looks like great yield and a nice design. Well done.
It looks like a really nice result. If I could offer one simple suggestion, it would be to use a comb in your videos instead of your hand, a comb would not block so much of the patients head and would be far less distracting than seeing your hand envelop someones head.
Long time since online. Great work!

I have a "hands on habit "
I sometimes feel I can “muzz” up the hair better, and show more by using my fingers working through the hair . I also do it to conceal more of the patients face and forehead for anonymity.
I don’t think I was concealing the result, but all comments and critisicm is welcome as always.
I would like to know what you think of the many commonly shown dark, differently angled and combed over before and after “stills” seen all over this and other forums. If you want to see clever, and not so clever concealment, its right there and begging for open and unbiased comment. Sadly, people seem reluctant to critique that which is glaringly needing it the most.
I hope all is well Franklin. Get in touch .

Well, Ray, I think the lighting in your videos leaves much to be desired, and your videos are 480P. All videos in this day and age should be in high definition, 1080P. Furthermore, your “hands on” habit really is fine, but you should pick up a comb about halfway thru your videos and this would show the extent of your work (stellar, by the way) without interfering with the overall look.
Try it sometime, it’s friendly advice. I promise I am not part of any conspiracy.

I go to extraordinary lengths to keep lighting consistent in before and after video
More so than any other doctor on this or any other site, whose before and after , mainly stills, are , in my humble opinion, are misrepresentative to the point of being a joke. But people are desperate to believe, and that desperation is fed upon.
I appreciate your critisicm, I take on board the comb thing, but where is your important voice of dissent…which is the lifeblood of any forum, on the above said matters ???
I may add, sometimes a comb can conceal MORE than ruffling through with the hands.
You see the "LEADING EDGE " of a comb and and whats behind is concealed by the comb itself…I find muzzing up the hair with fingers , just as patients do themselves more revealing…but we can debate this minor point …so please, I anxiously wait to see your hollistic approach to forums before and after pics.
Its not about a conspiracy, its about even, unbiased consistent honest and fearless criticism across the board.
Dr Ray Woods
ps…save the conspiracy stuff for the extremely weird and contraversial comments made by this pope, who has reformist/protestant and atheist Americans alike in a trance…strange days friends
I am not aware that anyone here or elsewhere has ever offered higher quality video resolution than I do , but I will check out the 480p / 1080 resolution thing .
All patient video is shot with a 1080 HD sony HDV professional camera. It is edited on a computer and loaded to youtube, and my website.
I thought that is the best possible resolution , and as said, I havent seen better here or elswhere, so please feel free to offer advice, to me and the others.

When your video is playing, if it is in HD, it will be indicated in red over the Settings button on the bottom front of the video player. The two resolutions for HD are 720p and 1080p.
The video of Silvio is only 480p. At a minimum, I believe all videos posted by all doctors of their prospective patients should be 720p. Minimum. The best option, of course, is using 1080p as the standard for video.
I believe that low definition video of patient results is only slightly better than doctors using differing lighting levels to achieve the best possible appearance in photos.
As an aside, Pope Frank is the first Catholic Pope in my lifetime who genuinely believes in the word of scripture as it is intended to be understood by its respective author’s. If anyone finds anything strange or controversial about Pope Frank than there is a chasm of understanding of the interpretation of this mans teachings that I would never dare to bridge.
Thankyou for the tips. My video people say it has something to do with compression and things I dont understand.
I always provide close ups and resolution was never an issue, but if I can make it better, I will.
As for the videos , to say they are close to the obviously fudged, angled and lighting manipulated stills, is patently absurd …and if anyone believes that, then they need to see an eye specialist far more than they need a HT…as a public service, they should inform us when and where they are driving .
As for Frank, remember Pinochets “dirty war” in Argentina…guess what Frank was doing…but as they say, " dornt mention ze vwar "
Youtube his remarks sparking a massive controversy, such as a “personal relationship with Jesus is DANGEROUS…” , and personal salvation is only possible through him…and mother catholic church ???. He is even bringing back “indulgences”. Now, normally, I wouldnt give a rats about all this, but this messiah is coming to bro down with the other messiah, Obama…Research thoroughly the Jesuits. You will understand why his appointment was “contraversial”.
More importantly, if I can improve the resolution, I will. I am assuming what Wylie said is correct , but my video people are looking at it. Any positive tips are welcome

"Yes, it can be done in one day…However

Dr. Woods, are you saying this will happen because the doctor will have to rush to get the job done in 1 day and thus becomes negligent during the whole process?
Or is this something that will happen even if the surgery is done very carefully by an experienced surgeon due to some biophyiological reasons?
Thanks.

Most people reading this are in some kind of “business”, as owner, manager, or employee, and you all know one thing.
You can do it fast, cheap and reckless…and make fast easy cash …or do it right and to best “VERIFIABLE” standards possible. But this takes extra time effort ,training, resourses and money…houston, got a problem
And understand this. No one can do those crazy numbers in one day , without taking some very dangerous shortcuts…and in an unholy alliance with the legal system, the victim is the culprit and will be pursued by the hounds via the modern “globalised disclaimer” , and silenced.
And in the vast majority of clinics, the techs are doing most of the work. The doctor is too busy coordinating several procedures at once…and drumming up more business…fast easy money regardless of the results…to which most new arrivals are immune
Now, can we discuss the pope again ??..ive been through the above a million times
