Abstract
The author presents his concept of a method of total harvesting of a given donor area, utilizing the smallest area for a maximum number of grafts. A layered suture closure is employed for an immediate and long‐term cosmetic improvement over older nonsuture techniques. The advantages and possible disadvantages of such a closure are discussed.Keywords
