Post Burn Reconstruction is a procedure used to correct deformities and dysfunction related to burn injuries. The surgery is generally performed after the initial burn wounds are healed.
The goal of the procedure is to restore the normal appearance and improve the function of the burn scars. It is used to rebuild damaged structures such like noses, lips, and eyelids.
If not properly treated, even the minor ones can lead to serious complications.
Depending on the location and size of the scar and desired results, your surgeon may use various procedures to treat your burns including skin flaps, skin rearrangement or skin grafts.
Non-surgical treatment for scars includes laser therapy and cortisone injections.
At AH Plastic Surgery, we treat a wide variety of burn injuries, ranging from mild, to very serious.
