I was worried about looking 'frozen,' but the results were incredibly natural. My friends noticed I looked more refreshed but couldn't pinpoint why.

The facelift treatment at SK Clinics was a game-changer. The doctors are skilled and attentive. I look years younger and the results don't look artificial at all.

Everything you'll need to know about Skin Grafting in Panama

What does a Skin Grafting Procedure Involve?

Skin grafting is performed under a general anaesthetic, which means you will be asleep and will not feel any pain during the procedure. In some cases, local anaesthetic may be used instead.

Your surgeon begins the surgery by removing skin from the donor site. For split-thickness grafts, the skin will be removed from an area of the body that is usually hidden by clothing, such as the outside of your thigh or the hip. For full-thickness graft, the skin is taken from the abdomen, forearm, groin, or an area above the collarbone.

After your surgeon removes the skin from the donor site, it will be placed carefully over the transplant area and secured with surgical dressing, stitches, or staples. If the transplant area is especially large, the skin from the donor site may be meshed in order to stretch it into a larger patch.

How Long Should I Stay in Panama for a Skin Grafting Procedure?

For a split-thickness graft, you may need to stay in the hospital for a few days to ensure that the graft and the donor site are healing correctly. A full-thickness graft may require one to a two-week hospital stay. After you are discharged from the hospital, plan to stay in Panama for at least 10 to 14 for more days for scheduled follow-up checkups where your doctor changes your dressing.

What's the Recovery Time for Skin Grafting Procedures in Panama?

The donor site generally takes anywhere from several days to a week to heal. You need to avoid doing any activities that could injure or stretch the graft site, including exercise, for at least three to four weeks. Your surgeon will give you a detailed recovery timeline and tell you when it is safe to resume your normal activities.

What sort of Aftercare is Required for Skin Grafting Procedures in Panama?

Your surgeon will give you an instruction, which may include how to care for the dressing and area around it, medicines to take, and restrictions. If possible, try to elevate the wound while sitting or lying down to reduce swelling. You should also avoid hitting or bumping the area. In some cases, your surgeon may recommend physical therapy.

What's the Success Rate of Skin Grafting Procedures in Panama?

Skin grafting is highly successful, and the reason for your surgery determines the result. However, some skin grafts do not heal well, and you may need a second graft. Skin grafting also carries some risks, including allergic reaction to the anaesthesia, problems with breathing, bleeding, infection, blood clots, infection, loss of grafted skin, chronic pain, reduced or lost skin sensation, scarring, skin discolouration, increased sensitivity, and uneven skin surface.

Are there Alternatives to Skin Grafting Procedures in Panama?

If you cannot or do not want to undergo skin grafting, the alternatives you can consider are:

  • Letting the skin heal on its own – burns or wounds may heal without a skin graft. However, if you have a deep burn or wound that needs a full-thickness graft, scar tissue may form and prevent normal movement around the area.
  • Bioengineered skin – skin grown in a lab, as well as skin from animals or cadavers, can be used instead of your own skin. Depending on the brand, bioengineered skin may be created using different materials. Some may be made of tendons from cows and shark cartilage, while others are made of human cells and a silicone mesh-like material.
  • Negative pressure wound therapy – this type of treatment can help heal acute and chronic wounds, as well as severe first- and second-degree burns by applying a special dressing to the affected area and using negative atmospheric pressure.
