The integumentary system is an essential organ system, separating the external environment from the internal environment of the
human body. As such, this system protects the body from the invasion of harmful substances, helping to maintain homeostasis. There are many medical procedures that affect the integumentary system, including hair transplants, lipoplasty, rhytidectomy, chemical peels, and collagen injections. Pick an integumentary procedure, either from the list above or from another procedure of your choice, and describe it. Describe the reasons an individual would undergo the procedure and any possible complications. Explain the direct and indirect effects the procedure has on the integumentary system.
Take the hair transplant for example, a hair transplant involves surgically removing a strip if hair from the back of the head and dividing that strip into tiny hair grafts, then they are surgically inserted into the top/front of the top of the scalp. A person might want to get this surgery because they might be going bald.
Possible affects

- Pain at the spots were the hair was taken and were it was inserted
