Result of simultaneous open and closed dressing in suction blister epidermal grafting

Suction blister epidermal grafting (SBEG) is a time-tested surgical treatment to correct small patches of stable vitiligo on any part of the body. The cosmetic result, especially on the lips, is highly satisfying. The most difficult part of this procedure is graft retention on the dermabraded lip. In this article, we present our observation of open and closed dressing in the same patient who underwent SBEG on the lip and chin simultaneously. We find that the results of the open dressing are equally good as the closed dressing area.
