About SSG
Split-Thickness Skin Grafting (SSG) is a surgical procedure where a thin layer of healthy skin is removed from one part of the body (donor site) and transplanted to cover areas that have lost skin due to burns, trauma, ulcers, or surgical removal of lesions. This method is one of the most effective ways to restore the skin’s protective barrier and promote healing in large or complex wounds.
At Dr. Prem Anand’s Clinic in Bangalore, we perform advanced SSG procedures using precision techniques to ensure faster healing, reduced scarring, and improved long-term outcomes for patients.

How SSG Works in Bangalore
Advanced Grafting Techniques for Healing
The procedure begins by harvesting a thin layer of healthy skin from a donor site (usually the thigh or buttock). This graft is carefully placed on the wound area and secured. Over time, the graft attaches to the wound bed and new blood vessels grow, ensuring proper healing.
At Dr. Prem Anand’s Clinic, we use modern equipment and surgical precision to maximize graft success, minimize discomfort, and promote faster recovery.
