Vitiligo surgery

Vitiligo surgery

Vitiligo surgery at The Skin Story Clinic begins with a medical assessment of the lesion or concern, its location, size, symptoms, duration and any previous treatment. Dr. Tejasvi Patel explains whether a minor surgical approach is appropriate, whether further evaluation is needed and what outcome can reasonably be expected, including the possibility and appearance of a scar.

When Vitiligo surgery is advised, the procedure, anaesthesia or comfort measures, preparation, estimated recovery and potential risks are explained before consent. The treatment is planned with attention to sterile technique, precise tissue handling and the functional as well as cosmetic importance of the area. You have the opportunity to ask questions before deciding to proceed.

Written aftercare covers wound cleaning, dressings, medicines, activity precautions and signs that need prompt attention. Healing varies with the procedure, site and individual health, so follow-up is an important part of care rather than an optional extra. Review visits allow healing to be monitored, sutures to be managed when relevant and scar-care guidance to be introduced at the right time.
