An add-on service for placing more full-thickness skin, taken from the patient's own body, to cover an area beyond what the first section already covered on sites such as the face, neck, underarms, genital area, hands, feet, or fingers and toes. It is provided in addition to the main grafting procedure for each extra section of area covered, and includes closing the site where the skin was taken. It is used when a wound in these areas is larger than a single standard-sized graft can cover.
