Is it possible to use skin grafting for a large area (e.g. back of knees, buttocks), to remove the old skin with stretch marks?

Asked By:Beauty geek in Gurugram, Haryana, India

I'm a 25 year old Indian woman who weights 46 kg and is 5.3" tall. No underlying condition besides Hypothyroid that has been detected, for which I take Eltroxin 25 mcg daily. I've tried laser and peels unsuccessfully. I was told that skin grafting is used to remove scars but is it practiced for large areas for stretch marks?
