What Is Skin Grafting?

Skin grafting is surgery performed to transplant healthy skin from one part of the body to another area where the skin is missing or damaged. Within a few days of surgery, the grafted skin begins to develop blood vessels and bond with the surrounding tissue.

Skin grafting is often used after surgery to remove skin cancer. It’s also useful in treating deep burns or to reconstruct skin that was removed during surgery, such as breast cancer surgery. People with a serious skin infection, ulcers and bone fractures that break the skin can also benefit from skin grafting.
