Do Skin Grafts Leave Scars? Consultant-Led Aftercare and What to Expect

Worried about scarring after minor skin surgery or a graft? You’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions our consultant hears.

What to expect: 

  • Modern, specialist techniques greatly reduce scarring, even in visible areas 
  • Careful planning and precision mean wounds are closed with minimal tension, improving healing 
  • Personalised aftercare advice is provided, including wound care, scar minimising tips, and consultant review appointments 

 

How long does it take to heal?
Most scars fade significantly over the first 6–12 months. Our consultant will explain realistic expectations before any procedure. 

 

Does every patient need a graft?
No, many lesions can be closed with simple stitches. If a graft is needed (for larger or facial lesions), you’ll receive full support at every stage.
