Techniques involved in Plastic surgery

Skin Grafts

Here, a healthy part of the skin is resected to cover the wounded area. A minimal surgical procedure, skin grafts can be divided into autografts, allografts, and xenografts. Autografts are skin tissues taken from the body while allografts are grafts taken from any recipient. Meanwhile, xenografts are tissues of recipients that belongs to different species.

Tissue Expansion

During this process, a balloon-like device is inserted under the skin to treat the wound. Since salt water is filled in that balloon, it constantly expands and as a result, the skin surface gets stretched and enlarges.

Flap surgery

Under this method, body tissues are transferred along with blood vessels. And the blood vessels are connected through microsurgery.
