What is Vitiligo Surgery?
Vitiligo surgery is a surgical approach to restore pigmentation in areas affected by vitiligo. It involves transplanting healthy pigment-producing cells (melanocytes) from unaffected skin to the depigmented patches. This is only recommended for patients whose vitiligo has been stable for at least 6-12 months.
Vitiligo Surgery Techniques We Offer
- Punch Grafting: Small full-thickness skin grafts transferred to depigmented areas
- Split-Thickness Skin Grafting: Thin layer of skin transferred for larger patches
- Melanocyte Transfer: Cultured melanocytes applied to affected areas for widespread patches
Is Vitiligo Surgery Right for You?
Vitiligo surgery may be right for you if you have:
- Stable vitiligo (no new patches for 6+ months)
- Patches that haven’t responded to medical treatment
- Limited, localized areas of depigmentation
- Realistic expectations about gradual repigmentation
