What Is Burn Reconstruction Surgery?
Burn Reconstruction Surgery is a specialised field of plastic surgery focused on improving the function and aesthetic appearance of skin and tissue damaged by burns.
​
The primary goal is to correct disfigurement, release tight skin (contractures) that restrict joint movement, and minimize the visibility of scars.
​
These procedures can be performed at any stage after the burn has healed, providing a lasting solution for both old and new scars.
Key Issues Addressed by Burn Reconstruction
Burn reconstruction surgery can address a wide range of issues, including:
Burn Scars
Reducing the appearance of hypertrophic (raised) and keloid scars.
Contractures
Releasing tight scar tissue that limits the movement of joints, such as the neck, hands, elbows, or knees.
Disfigurement
Restoring facial features, eyelids, lips, or nose that have been affected by burns.
Restoration of Hands and Digits
Reconstructing hands, fingers, and toes to improve function and grip.
Tissue Damage
Repairing deep tissue damage using advanced techniques like tissue expansion and flap surgery.
Our Compassionate and Comprehensive Approach
Your journey with us begins with a personalized consultation where Dr. Nair will carefully evaluate your condition, listen to your concerns, and discuss your goals. He will then create a tailored treatment plan that may involve a combination of surgical techniques, such as:
🗹 Skin Grafting: Using healthy skin from another part of the body to cover the burn area.
🗹 Tissue Expansion: A procedure to grow extra skin in a nearby area to cover the scarred region.
🗹 Flap Surgery: A more complex technique where skin, fat, and muscle are moved from a healthy part of the body to the affected area, preserving its own blood supply.
We prioritize your well-being throughout the entire process, ensuring you receive not only expert surgical care but also compassionate support at every step of your recovery.
