Skin Graft Surgery in Maharashtra

Will the graft look like normal skin?

Grafted skin usually differs slightly in color and texture from surrounding skin, though it blends better over time, especially with full-thickness grafts on visible areas.

Is the donor site painful?

The donor site, commonly the thigh, can be more painful initially than the graft site itself, but it heals within 2-3 weeks with proper wound care.

Can a skin graft fail?

Yes, grafts can fail to take if there's infection, poor blood supply, or excessive movement at the site, sometimes requiring a repeat graft.

How long until I can return to normal activity?

Most patients return to routine activity within 3-6 weeks, though this depends on the size and location of the grafted area.

Will I need physiotherapy afterward?

If the graft is over a joint, physiotherapy helps prevent scar tightness (contracture) and preserve movement, and is often recommended.
