Skin graphs are generally taken from the thigh.

It depends on the hair patterns, obviously hairy areas would not be suitable for facial transplants. So we often use the buttocks, or thighs but sometimes the abdomen.

Butt skin!
don't they usually use adjacent skin and flop it over so that the skin still remains as connected tissue...
i'm not a dr... but I usually just use Butt skin...
