Vitiligo Surgery

Vitiligo Surgery is a set of advanced procedures designed to restore pigment to white or depigmented patches of skin in people with stable vitiligo. When topical or medical treatments no longer show improvement, surgical techniques can help repigment affected areas, blend skin tone, and improve confidence.

About Vitiligo Surgery

At Dr. Nidhi Patel’s Cosmedics, we offer a full spectrum of vitiligo surgeries tailored to each individual’s needs. Procedure begin with a detailed evaluation of the stability of your vitiligo, the size and location of the patches, and your overall skin health. Depending on the findings, we may recommend punch grafting, suction blister grafting, thin split-thickness skin grafting, or cellular grafting techniques such as non-cultured melanocyte transfer. All procedures are performed under local anaesthesia in a sterile, comfortable environment. Our focus is on achieving natural-looking pigment restoration with minimal downtime and scarring.

Procedure for Vitiligo Surgery

Comprehensive Assessment

Stability of vitiligo is checked (generally stable for 6–12 months) before recommending surgery.

Anaesthesia & Preparation

The donor and recipient sites are cleaned and numbed with local anaesthesia.

Harvesting Pigment Cells or Grafts

Depending on the technique, tiny skin grafts or melanocyte-rich tissue is taken from a donor area.

Transplanting to Depigmented Patches

The prepared graft or cell suspension is carefully applied to the vitiligo patch.

Dressing & Healing

The area is dressed to protect it and promote pigment cell take-up; follow-up is scheduled.

Candidates for Vitiligo Surgery

  • Individuals with stable vitiligo (no new patches or expansion for at least 6–12 months)
  • Those whose vitiligo has not improved with medical therapy
  • People with small to medium patches suitable for grafting
  • Men and women looking for a longer-lasting repigmentation solution

Vitiligo surgery at Dr. Nidhi Patel’s Cosmedics is ideal for patients seeking safe and effective restoration of skin colour when other treatments haven’t worked.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vitiligo Surgery

Is everyone with vitiligo a candidate for surgery?

No. Surgery is recommended only for patients with stable vitiligo who are not responding to medical treatment. Our specialists will assess your eligibility.

Is the procedure painful?

Local anaesthesia makes the procedure virtually painless. You may experience mild discomfort during healing.

How long does it take to see results?

Initial pigmentation may start appearing within 4–6 weeks, with gradual improvement over several months.

Will the patches return?

When vitiligo is truly stable, recurrence in the treated patch is uncommon. However, new patches can still appear elsewhere on the body.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the size and number of patches. Some patients need only one session per area; others may require staged procedures.
