Skin Grafting

Skin grafting is a surgical procedure in which healthy skin is transplanted from one area of the body (donor site) to another area where skin has been lost or damaged. This procedure is commonly used to treat burns, traumatic injuries, chronic wounds, infections, surgical defects, and certain skin disorders. Skin grafting helps protect underlying tissues, promote healing, restore function, and improve appearance. Advances in surgical techniques and wound care have significantly improved success rates and cosmetic outcomes.

Through VivaVel Health, international patients can access advanced skin grafting procedures in India, performed by skilled plastic and reconstructive surgeons at modern, accredited hospitals.

Signs & Symptoms

 Skin grafting may be required when a patient experiences:

  • Extensive skin loss due to burns or trauma

  • Non-healing or chronic wounds

  • Large surgical wounds after tumour removal

  • Skin damage from infections

  • Exposure of underlying tissues such as muscles or bones

  • Poor wound healing despite conservative treatment
