Under the guidance of Dr. Shantanu Choudhary and Dr. Swati Mogra, our specialized team excels in performing Vitiligo Surgery, offering tailored solutions for skin repigmentation.
Understanding Vitiligo Surgery
Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by depigmentation, resulting in white patches on the skin. Vitiligo Surgery involves various techniques aimed at repigmenting these areas by transplanting melanocytes (pigment-producing cells) to the affected skin areas.

Surgical Techniques: Employing advanced surgical methods such as autologous melanocyte transplantation, suction blister grafting, or other precise techniques based on individual needs.

Post-Surgical Care: Providing detailed post-operative instructions to promote proper healing and optimal repigmentation.

What Sets Our Vitiligo Surgery Apart
Stability Assessment Before Surgery:
Surgery is only offered once your vitiligo has been medically confirmed as stable for at least 6-12 months, since operating on active, spreading patches risks poor graft take.
Multiple Grafting Techniques Available: We select from suction blister grafting, punch grafting, or melanocyte transplantation based on the size and location of your patches, rather than offering a single one-size-fits-all method.
Combined Medical and Surgical Planning: Surgical repigmentation is often paired with phototherapy or topical treatment to support graft survival and even out color match over time.
Realistic Outcome Counselling: We discuss expected color match, possible touch-up sessions, and areas that respond better to surgery (like stable, segmental vitiligo) before you commit to the procedure.
