Advanced Skin Grafting Available at Pristyn Care in Delhi
In Delhi, Pristyn Care offers advanced skin grafting surgery to help restore damaged skin. Here are some of the grafting options available:
Autografting is a skin grafting technique in which doctors use your own skin to heal another part of your body. During this procedure, the doctor takes healthy skin, usually from a less visible area like the thigh or back, and moves it to the damaged spot. This self-to-self transplant ensures the best compatibility. The process involves removing only the top layers of the skin using a tool called a dermatome. This method can be further divided into sheet and meshed grafts. Sheet grafts are used for small wound areas, whereas meshed grafts are used for large wound areas. Autografting is extremely effective, blending well with the surrounding skin and promoting natural healing.
Allografting involves using skin from a donor, which is often cadaver skin. It serves as a temporary solution until your own skin can be grafted. This type of graft helps cover and protect large wound surfaces temporarily. It also helps stabilise the area and prepare it for a permanent solution using your own skin. Allografting is beneficial in acute situations where immediate coverage is necessary to prevent infections or further damage.
In this procedure, doctors remove the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) along with a thin part of the next layer (dermis) from the donor site (either the thigh or belly). A dermatone is typically used to do this. These grafts are great for covering large wounds because they can be stretched over a bigger area due to meshing, giving them more flexibility. The donor area heals in about two weeks. This type of graft helps in quick recovery and reduces hospital stay. However, the graft might look different from the surrounding skin and be more delicate, requiring careful handling after the procedure.
Full-thickness skin grafting involves taking both skin layers (epidermis and dermis) from the donor site. Unlike STSG, FTSF requires more care because the donor area cannot heal by itself and requires stitches or another covering. This procedure is ideal for smaller wound areas, especially on visible parts such as your face, where you want the result to look as natural as possible. FTSG offers better colour match and texture, ensuring a natural look post-surgery.

Skin grafting surgery is when doctors take healthy skin from one part of the body and use it to cover an area where skin is missing or damaged. This procedure is often considered for wounds, burn scar grafting, or after certain surgeries.
Skin for grafting is usually taken from body areas like the thighs, buttocks, or behind the collarbone and ears. These areas are chosen because they are less noticeable once healed.
The time needed for skin grafting surgery depends on the size of the graft and the severity of the injury. It can last from a few hours to several hours.
During the surgery, anaesthesia is given so that you don’t feel any pain. Afterwards, some pain and discomfort might be there; however, medications can help manage these symptoms.
Your hospital stay could range from a few days to two weeks, based on the complexity of the surgery and your recovery after the procedure. However, most people go home the same day.
After leaving the hospital, keep the area dry and use sterile dressings. Follow any physiotherapy programme if your doctor suggests it. Apply lotion to keep the new skin moist and avoid heavy activities.
At times, skin grafts may not heal completely or might not “take” to the surrounding skin. If that happens, another graft could be necessary.
Recovery can vary widely. It might take weeks for some and months for others. the recovery time depends on your health, the size of the graft, and where it was done.
The new skin might feel different as it may not have oil or sweat glands, causing dryness. It might also not grow hair and could feel different from other areas.
In Delhi, the cost of skin grafting surgery ranges from INR 20,000 to INR 34,000. The price differs based on factors such as the surgeon’s experience, hospital facilities, and the size of the area needing grafting.
Determining if you can undergo skin grafting surgery involves looking at various factors. Doctors will check your medical history and the condition of the wound. This helps ensure that the procedure will be safe and effective. Here are some key points:
