Question Plastic Surgery For KP?
Is there anytime of plastic surgery procedure that can get rid of KP or cover it up? What about Skin Resurfacing?

From what I understand, the only kind of surgery that is effective is skin grafting because of how deep the effects of KP goes.

and aesthetically it wouldn't look nice and you have to consider, where would you take the skin from? your back? stomach?

even with the scarring that would be present with a graft, with someone elses skin you would need to be on immunosuppresents and it would be exactly the same skin tone as your own
