Skin Graft Surgery:
Repairing Defects With Thoughtful Coverage
Skin graft surgery used to restore coverage and protection in areas of tissue loss, planned to optimise healing, durability, and visual integration.
About Lavora’s Skin Graft Surgery
Skin graft surgery at Lavora is used to restore coverage and protection where tissue has been lost due to trauma, burns, or surgical removal. We strive to achieve stable healing and the best possible integration between graft and surrounding skin.
During planning, we consider graft type, donor site selection, blood supply, and how the area moves in everyday life. The technique is chosen to support durability, comfort, and, where achievable, a more harmonious colour and texture match.
Although grafted skin may never look identical to its surroundings, our intention is to provide reliable coverage that functions well and sits as quietly as possible within your overall appearance. Skin graft surgery often forms one part of a broader reconstructive journey, tailored around your needs and priorities.

Frequently Asked Skin Graft Surgery Questions
What is skin graft surgery?
Skin grafting transfers healthy skin from one area of the body to another to cover a wound, defect or burn where local tissue cannot close safely on its own.
When is a skin graft recommended?
Grafts are used when wounds are clean but too large or shallow to close directly, or when underlying structures such as tendon or bone require durable coverage.
What types of skin grafts are there?
Common types include split-thickness grafts, which take a thin layer of skin, and full-thickness grafts, which include the entire skin depth for more robust coverage.
Where is the donor skin taken from?
Donor sites are chosen for concealment and quality, often from the thigh, buttock or behind the ear, depending on the size and location of the graft.
Will the grafted area look completely normal?
Grafted skin may have a different colour or texture from the surrounding tissue; over time it often blends more naturally but rarely looks identical.
How long does a skin graft take to heal?
The graft usually “takes” over 5–10 days, during which it must remain still; remodelling and softening continue for several months.
What is recovery like at the donor site?
Donor sites may feel like a superficial graze or deeper wound depending on the graft type and usually heal within 1–3 weeks with appropriate care.
What are the risks of skin graft surgery?
Risks include graft loss or partial failure, infection, pigment change, contour irregularities, discomfort at donor and recipient sites and scarring.
Can a failed graft be replaced?
If a graft does not fully take, revision or repeat grafting may be needed once the wound bed is ready again for reconstruction.
How is long-term care managed after a skin graft?
Long-term care may include moisturising, sun protection, pressure garments or silicone therapy to support flexibility, comfort and the most refined appearance possible.
