Most people who have skin graft surgery done need to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 weeks so that they can recover from the skin graft and so that the doctors and nurses can keep an eye out for any complications.
After 1 to 2 weeks you should be able to be discharged from the hospital after the skin graft surgery is done.
So when you go in for a skin graft be prepared to stay in the hospital for at least 2 weeks.
As long as no complications with the skin graft occur you should be discharged within a week to two weeks.
After you're discharged from the hospital you need to wear a dressing for at least 2 weeks to protect the skin graft.
Follow the doctors instructions and take it easy for awhile to avoid tearing any of the skin.
If you notice any complications at home or your skin graft starts to bleed then go to the emergency room.
