Plastic surgery most times is permanent so it is important that come to a final decision whether you want it or not. Plastic surgery in Abu Dhabi uses skin graft as the main procedure but there are other techniques like flap surgery and tissue expansion used at times according to requirement.
Skin grafts
In skin graft health skin is removed from unblemished part of the body and used to cover damaged skin or lost skin. It is used in incidences like open fractures, large wounds and areas where skin has been removed before such as burns and cancer. Two main types of skin craft are used by plastic surgeon and they are partial or split thickness skin graft. Skin as thin as tissue paper is shaved from a part which heals quickly, example thigh. The area may look pinkish for sometime before it becomes an invisible scar. The scar will be hardly noticeable and it will depend on the skin tone.
Full thickness skin graft
Here the entire skin, top and bottom layer, is removed and the cut area closed by stitching. This type of skin graft is usually performed on areas like behind the ear, neck, upper arm or groin.
What happens in plastic surgery?
General anesthesia is given before procedure or local anesthesia depending on how big the affected area or location. Skin graft is held down by stitches, clips, staples or special adhesion. The skin grafted area is left covered by dressing till the skin gets connected to blood supply from surrounding skin. This may take about 5-7 days. The donor site or the place from where skin has been taken will be covered by dressing and it will take about 2 weeks for the area to heal.
