An acute wound measuring approximately 6 × 8 cm (width × length) with exposed muscle fascia, subcutaneous fat, and dermal tissue (a). (b) After suturing and transplantation. (c) Silicone dressing in place on the top of grafts. (d) Eight days posttransplantation with evidence of graft take seen as lighter colored epithelial islands. (e) Follow-up 6 weeks postgrafting showing a spotty pattern of the skin grafts separated by red scar tissue without any hypotrophy. (f) The donor site (approximately 2 × 2 cm) at 6 weeks also showing typical redness but no hypertrophic scarring. This redness usually disappears within a year.
