Shapiro Medical Group using lateral slits?

[Son of a Plug]

How long has the Shapiro Clinic, and all the affiliated Drs, been using the lateral slit technique?

Have all their Drs employed this technique as their exclusive method of creating recipient sites?

I ask because I seem to remember that they had not been convinced of the technique back in spring 2003.

Thanks!

Both Dr Shapiro and myself are using perpendicular incision (coronal) to varying extents.I am uncertain about the concept regarding the alignment of hairs in the adipose tissue since at the surface the hairs often exit in a clumped manner and then splay. I do think that providing a more acute angle does certainly provide an appearnce of more coverage.

 

I am also trying to mix the incisions perpendicular and parallel in an effort to provide optimal coverage form any viewing angle.
