Vertical or Lateral Incisions for Recipient Sites and Sutures or Staples for the Donor Area?

July 20, 2009 by Dr. Epstein

Do you use vertical or lateral slits in your hair transplant procedures. I have read on one surgeons’ website that lateral slits are superior? Also, are sutures or staples used to close the donor site? I have looked at your website. I saw what you did for the two children.

Very impressed.

I use a combination of lateral and vertical slits, depending upon the area of the hairline being worked upon. This without a doubt provides the most aesthetic and natural appearing (and fullest looking) results.

I usually use sutures- they are more difficult to apply properly, but typically result in a finer line scar as well as are much more comfortable. This is why the overwhelming majority of surgeons use sutures, and as a plastic surgeon, I prefer them.

Thanks for the compliment about my work on the children. It would be a pleasure to possibly have you as a patient.
