This service is provided by Dr. Bharat Saxena, a leading plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Mumbai, at Nanavati Hospital and Saxena Aesthetics, Vile Parle.

What is Skin Grafting for Burns?
Skin grafting is a surgical technique where healthy skin is transplanted to areas with damaged or lost skin due to burns. It helps close large wounds, reduces infection risk, and promotes faster healing. The procedure is essential when burns are too deep to heal on their own. This advanced treatment is part of comprehensive burn care and reconstruction, offered by experienced hands using the latest surgical methods.
