What Is

Skin Grafting & Flap Surgeries

Skin grafting and flap surgeries are procedures used to repair areas where skin and underlying tissues are damaged or missing due to burns, accidents, infections, or surgeries. At KosmoPlus, we use advanced techniques to restore both appearance and function, ensuring faster healing and improved quality of life.

It includes split-thickness skin grafts, full-thickness grafts, local flap and free flap surgeries for deeper reconstruction.
