Skin Graft Reconstruction

Skin graft reconstruction is a surgical procedure used to repair and reconstruct areas of the skin that have been damaged, lost or removed due to injury, burns, surgery, infection or other medical conditions. During a skin graft procedure, a piece of healthy skin is taken from one area of the body and transplanted to the area that needs reconstruction.

How Long Will it Take to Recover?

Recovery from a skin graft procedure involves careful wound care, managing pain and preventing complications such as infection. Physical therapy and rehabilitation might be necessary for optimal functional and cosmetic outcomes, especially in cases involving extensive reconstruction.

The healing process can take some time, dependent on the size of the reconstruction. Your physical activities may need to be limited for the skin to heal.
