Vitiligo Surgery

Vitiligo surgery is often recommended for individuals with stable vitiligo, where the progression of depigmentation has ceased. Surgical options may include techniques such as punch grafting, suction blister grafting, split-thickness skin grafting, and melanocyte transplantation. These procedures aim to transplant melanocytes from unaffected areas of the body to depigmented patches, stimulating the production of melanin and restoring color to the skin.

The specific technique used in vitiligo surgery depends on factors such as the size and location of depigmented patches, as well as the patient's skin type and individual characteristics. The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia, and recovery time can vary depending on the extent of surgery and the body's response to treatment
