Concise answer
Some redness can occur while the donor and recipient skin heal, but duration varies with skin type, procedure extent and aftercare. A fixed online timeline cannot confirm normal healing for one patient.
Redness should generally settle rather than become hotter, more painful or more swollen over time.
Sun exposure, scratching and unapproved products can irritate healing skin and make recovery harder to interpret.
When evaluation may help
Contact the operating clinic promptly for worsening redness, discharge, fever, increasing pain, marked swelling or any recovery change outside the written plan.
