The concept is basically to rotate the blade's angle from a more sagittal to a more coronal position when making recipient sites. I've been using this technique for over five years, though I actually believe that the most natural appearance coupled with the greatest density is best achieved through a combination of the two. <p><img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="480" height="10"> </p> </p> <p>&nbsp; </p> </div></td><td width="140" rowspan="2" valign="top" background="/ImageNew/BackRight.gif" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" ><table width="120" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><img src="/images/1x1.gif" width="10" height="10"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><p>This comprehensive question and answer forum is brought to you by Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, one of only 30 <a href="http://www.foundhair.com/" target="_blank">hair transplant</a> surgeons worldwide... </p> <p><a href="http://www.foundhair.com/"><img src="/ImageNew/Hair-Transplant.gif" alt="hair transplant" width="120" height="118" border="0"></a></p></td> </tr> </table> <p align="center"><strong>Questions?</strong></p> <form onSubmit="return checkrequired(this)" name="ContactFormSmall" method="post" action="ContactSendSmall.asp"> <table border="0" width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td height="40" valign="top"> <p><span class="a12 style1"><span class="style2"> &nbsp;</span></span><span class="v9">Name</span><br> <input name="requiredFullName" type="text" id="requiredFullName" size="22" maxlength="60"> <br> <span class="a12 style1"><span class="style2">&nbsp;</span></span><span class="v9">Email </span><br> <input name="requiredEmail" type="text" id="requiredEmail" size="22" maxlength="60"> <br> <span class="a12 style1"><span class="style2">&nbsp;</span></span><span class="v9">Question </span><br> <textarea name="requiredQuestion" cols="12" rows="4" id="requiredQuestion"></textarea> <br> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"> <br> </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p align="center">&nbsp;</p> </form> <p align="center"><img src="/images/spacer.gif" width="140" height="10"><br> </p> <p> </p></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" background="/images/left_bg.jpg" height="100%" width="145"> <img src="/images/group1.jpg" border="0" width="131" height="16" alt=""> <div > <a href="/FAQMain.asp">View All FAQ's</a><br> &bull; <a href="/About-Hair-Loss.asp">About Hair Loss</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Grafts.asp">About the Grafts</a><br> &bull; <a href="/AdvancedHairLoss.asp">Advanced Hair Loss</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Age-Related.asp">Age-Related</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Hair-Transplant-alternatives.asp">Alternatives</a><br> &bull; <a href="/BestCandidates.asp">Are You a Candidate?</a><br> &bull; <a href="/BodyHair.asp">Body Hair</a><br> &bull; <a href="/Cloning.asp">Cloning/Synth.
