I visited a doctor today for vitiligo treatment and they mentioned blister grafting works better on the lips while melanocyte transplantation is more suitable for other parts of the face. Is blister grafting really more successful for lip areas compared to other treatments?

Yes, suction blister grafting (SBG) is often considered a preferred treatment for lip vitiligo due to its effectiveness and ease of application in these areas. While melanocyte transplantation can be an option for other facial areas, SBG has shown to be particularly successful and convenient for lip vitiligo.
