Comprehensive Vitiligo Surgery Solutions
What is Vitiligo Surgery?

Vitiligo surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at restoring skin pigmentation and improving the appearance of areas affected by vitiligo, a condition characterized by the loss of skin color due to the destruction of pigment-producing cells. At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we offer state-of-the-art techniques tailored to your individual needs, helping you achieve a more even skin tone and renewed confidence.


Why Consider Vitiligo Surgery?

Vitiligo surgery can provide numerous benefits, including:

  • Restored Skin Color: Reintroduce pigment to depigmented areas, leading to a more uniform skin tone.
  • Enhanced Appearance: Improve the overall appearance of your skin and boost self-esteem.
  • Customized Solutions: Tailored treatment plans to address different types and extents of vitiligo.
  • Improved Quality of Life: Achieve a more natural look that enhances comfort in daily activities and social interactions.

Vitiligo Surgery Techniques We Offer

At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we offer a range of advanced vitiligo surgery techniques to suit your specific needs:

  • Skin Grafting: This technique involves transferring healthy skin from one area of your body to the affected areas. Skin grafting is effective for larger vitiligo patches and aims to blend the grafted skin with the surrounding areas.
  • Blister Grafting: Blister grafting involves creating blisters on healthy skin, then using the epidermal (top layer of skin) to cover vitiligo patches. This method promotes the growth of new pigment cells in the affected areas.
  • Cell Transplantation: This procedure involves harvesting melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) from your healthy skin, culturing them, and then transplanting them to the vitiligo-affected areas to restore pigmentation.
  • Excimer Laser Therapy: This advanced laser technique targets specific areas of the skin with UVB light to stimulate pigment production and improve the appearance of vitiligo patches.
  • Depigmentation Therapy: For cases where vitiligo affects large areas, this therapy involves lightening the remaining pigmented skin to match the depigmented areas, creating a more uniform appearance.
The Vitiligo Surgery Process

1.Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where we will:

  • Discuss your goals and concerns about vitiligo treatment.
  • Assess the extent and type of vitiligo affecting your skin.
  • Review your medical history and determine the most appropriate surgical options.
  • Develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2.Pre-Operative Instructions

To ensure the best results, follow these pre-operative guidelines:

  • Adhere to dietary and medication instructions provided by our team.
  • Avoid certain medications and supplements that could affect the surgery.
  • Prepare your home and arrange for post-surgery assistance if needed.
  • Undergo any required tests to confirm your suitability for the chosen procedure.

3.The Surgical Procedure

Vitiligo surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the technique and extent of treatment. The procedure typically involves:

  • Performing the selected surgical technique, such as skin grafting or laser therapy.
  • Carefully addressing the vitiligo-affected areas to restore pigmentation.
  • Closing any incisions or applying treatments to promote healing.

4.Post-Operative Care

After the surgery, you will receive comprehensive care instructions, including:

  • How to care for the treated areas and manage any discomfort.
  • Recommendations for resuming regular activities and avoiding potential complications.
  • Follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and assess the effectiveness of the surgery.

What to Expect During and After Recovery
  • Immediate Post-Operative Period: Expect some swelling, redness, and discomfort in the treated areas. These symptoms can be managed with prescribed medications and proper care.
  • First Few Weeks: You may experience gradual improvement as the skin begins to heal and pigmentation starts to return. Adhere to post-operative care guidelines to support optimal healing.
  • Full Recovery: The final results of vitiligo surgery become visible over several months as the skin continues to adjust and pigmentation improves.
