Can you get cosmetic correction for graft sites?

Not really: I take it you're talking about skin graft donor sites or grafted sites. If very small, perhaps they can be excised later, but usually, nothing significant can be done to improve their appearance.

Several Options: Graft donor and recipient sites can be unsightly and may even cause functional restrictions. Multiple options can be available including treatment using co2 fractionated ablative laser or pulse dye laser, surgical correction through local or expanded flaps or regrafting of specific regions. Signficant research is on-going and more additional options may be available in the future.
