Skin Grafting

What is Skin Grafting?

Skin grafting is a surgical procedure where healthy skin is taken from a donor site and transplanted to a damaged or missing area. It helps restore both function and appearance, particularly in burn injuries, trauma, or chronic wounds.

Common graft types include split-thickness, full-thickness, and composite grafts, chosen based on wound depth and location.

Recovery & Aftercare

• Keep graft and donor sites clean and protected
• Avoid strenuous activity that may dislodge graft
• Follow-up visits to monitor graft adherence and healing
• Use prescribed ointments, dressings, and physiotherapy if required

Frequently Asked Questions

Is skin grafting painful?

Local or general anesthesia ensures minimal pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort may persist during healing.

Will the grafted skin match my natural skin?

Color and texture may slightly differ, especially initially. Over time, the graft blends better with surrounding tissue.

How long does it take to heal?

Initial graft adherence occurs in 5–10 days; full maturation and cosmetic results may take several weeks.
