Vitiligo Surgery

A) What is a Vitiligo Surgery ?

Vitiligo is a skin disorder that results in patches of lost pigmentation. While there is no cure for vitiligo, there are various treatments available to help manage the condition. One treatment option is vitiligo surgery which involves transplanting melanocytes from healthy skin to the affected areas.

There are several types of vitiligo surgeries including

  • Punch grafting: Small pieces of skin containing melanocytes are removed from healthy skin and transplanted to the affected areas.
  • Suction blister grafting: Blisters are created on healthy skin using suction and the roof of the blister containing melanocytes is transplanted to the affected areas. Blister can be explained as a swelling or a pimple or hives.
  • Split-thickness skin grafting: A thin layer of skin containing melanocytes is removed from healthy skin and transplanted to the affected areas.
  • Micro-pigmentation: This involves implanting pigment into the affected areas to match the surrounding skin.

While vitiligo surgery can be effective in restoring pigmentation to the skin, it is not suitable for everyone. The success of the procedure depends on factors such as the location and extent of the vitiligo, the age of the person,overall health and the skill of the surgeon. Risks associated with vitiligo surgery include infection, scarring and poor cosmetic results.
