Necrosis of frontal recipient area
The skin has already come off, and two soppy holes are full of pus. This patient needs local wound care, debridement of the wound, and patience until the wounds close. It might take a few months. It will be replaced by tough scar tissue. This area can be transplanted again sometime well after everything has calmed down. In the thousands of cases either I or a group of my fellow doctors, we have never seen this type of complication.
