A member asked:
What is the healing time for a skin graph on the back of a thigh ? its the donor site.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-4 weeks: After 1-2 weeks, it shouldn't need a bandage. After 6-8 weeks, it should be about 90% healed. The final 10% is mostly collagen remodeling, takes place over about 12 months. Ask you surgeon about the care of the donor site however, even after banged removal. Everyone has slightly different instructions. Hope this helps!
