Surgical repair, reconstruction, or grafting of skin tissue, a procedure used to treat burns, scars, or other skin damage.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) + 'plasty' (surgical shaping), a medical term established in the 1800s for skin surgery techniques.
Dermatoplasty has evolved from simple skin grafts to incredibly complex procedures—surgeons now grow skin in labs and even 3D-print artificial skin for severe burn victims.
