Skin grafting is a medical operation that includes taking skin from one part of the body and transplanting it to another part of the body. If a section of your body has lost its protective skin covering due to burns, accident, or sickness, this operation may be performed.
Skin transplants are done in a hospital setting. The majority of skin transplants are performed under general anesthesia, which means you’ll be asleep the entire time and won’t experience any pain.
A skin graft is used to replace skin that has been lost on a part of the body. The following are some of the most common reasons for a skin graft:
Deep Burns Treatment
A Skin Disease’s Lesions Are Removed
Wounds That Are Big And Open Are Being Closed
Treating Pressure Injuries, Bed Sores, And Other Skin Ulcers That Haven’t Healed Properly Skin Cancer Surgery
Split-thickness and full-thickness grafts are the two most common types of skin grafts.
A split-thickness transplant entails removing the epidermis, the top layer of the skin, as well as a portion of the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin.
The surgeon remove trusted source these layers from the donor site, which is the area where the healthy skin is located. Skin grafts from the front or outer thigh, abdomen, buttocks, or back are frequently used.
The epidermis and dermis from the donor location are removed completely in a full-thickness graft. Healthy skin is frequently taken from the abdomen, groin, forearm, or the area above the clavicle by surgeons (collarbone).
Because the surgeon often pulls together and heals the donor site in a straight-line incision with stitches or staples, the grafts are typically smaller portions of the skin.

I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Ashutosh Shah and the team at Elegance Clinic for the excellent care provided to my granddaughter after her glass injury. Dr. Shah explained everything clearly, including the primary suture process, and reassured us throughout. The results have been wonderful—her suture line has healed beautifully with no complications. It's a relief to see her recovering so well. Thank you, Dr. Shah, for your professionalism and compassion!"

The team was incredibly professional and took the time to explain the difference between HydraFacial and chemical peeling, helping me choose the right treatment plan. I ended up getting a combination of both — and the results were amazing! ✨ My skin now feels refreshed, smoother, and noticeably glowing. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Highly recommend Elegance Clinic for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin with real results. Thank you for bringing back my glow! 💆♀️🌸 Aisha D2025-09-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “I had surgery here for an accidental scar, and I’m very happy with my experience.
