Q about hand transplants, is it possible to get a hand that is different color skin than your hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but why?: Transplants are designed to match the original as much as possible and that is true for major transplants like hands. Hopefully this question is theoretical and not because you need a hand transplant.
