  If there is no xeongrafts  there how come it looks the same as it did when I was little? the grafts look exectaly the same? and how does your body absorbes them ?  I read that your body would fight them until they are removed?

The body replaces the graft with scar. There is constant turnover of scar and normal epithelium. The body does fight to replace foreign material and that is why I am telling you there is no xenograft left now, just contracted scar tissue.
