ABSTRACT
Suction blister grafting (SBG) is a procedure wherein epidermis is harvested from the donor site, i.e., the thigh, in the form of a suction blister and then transferred to the dermabraded vitiliginous area (white patches). In SBG, cleavage occurs between the basal cells and the basal lamina of the basement membrane zone, and only the epidermal portion of the donor area is grafted. Hence, the graft generally acquires the characteristics of the recipient site, thus leading to a better color match and cosmetic outcome.
