What is vitiligo surgery & grafting?

Vitiligo surgery moves healthy pigment cells from normal skin to stable white patches — by punch grafting, blister grafting or melanocyte cell transfer — to restore colour where medicines have not worked.

For vitiligo patches that have been stable for at least a year and have not responded to medical therapy, surgical grafting transplants pigment cells from normal skin to the white patch.

Options include mini-punch grafting, suction blister epidermal grafting and non-cultured epidermal cell suspension (melanocyte–keratinocyte transplant), which can cover larger areas from a small donor site.

How the treatment works

  1. Stability check — No new or enlarging patches for at least a year.
  2. Test grafting — Mini test grafts to confirm response.
  3. Recipient preparation — Dermabrasion or laser to prepare the white patch.
  4. Graft & phototherapy — Cells or grafts applied; phototherapy speeds spread.

Frequently asked questions

Am I a candidate?

Only if your vitiligo is stable. Grafting active vitiligo usually fails.

Will the donor site scar?

Donor sites are small and usually heal with minimal marks.

Is the colour a perfect match?

Match is generally good and continues to improve with phototherapy over months.
