I honestly can’t be sure about this but I am pretty confident that what you are about to see has not been done before, even by me. This blog, in it’s original form back in early 2002, was the first on the web to show you what a hair transplant looked like during the “in between” period. The only documentation that was available during that time was the typical before and after pics. This blog answered the question, “What happens in between the before and after?”

Now comes my friend Dave. Dave approached me a few years ago about having his own repair work with Dr. Wong. After we got to know each other a bit and we had a few discussions we came up with the idea of video taping, in it’s entirety, his journey to Vancouver, his thoughts before his arrival, the surgery, the post-op daily for the first week ,then monthly updates to the first year. He agreed and one year later I had all material I needed. What I didn’t count on was the amount of editing that was necessary to make any sense of it! So, unfortunately Dave’s videos sat and languished for a few years. Now I have the first few edited and I am sharing them with you now. There will be several videos altogether (I don’t know exactly how many) but you will eventually see Dave with his one year result as well as a hair cut by his stylist.

Dave has a great sense of humor that is dry and witty so hopefully you find this not only informative but enjoyable too.
