FAQs

When should I consult a plastic and reconstructive surgeon after a burn?

You should seek specialist evaluation for deep or extensive burns, burns involving the face, hands, feet or joints, wounds that are not healing, significant scarring, or scars that restrict movement. Large, deep, chemical and electrical burns require urgent medical attention.

What is a skin graft?

A skin graft is a surgical procedure in which healthy skin is taken from one part of the patient's body and placed over an area where skin has been damaged or lost. It may be recommended for certain deeper burns and other wounds that cannot heal adequately on their own.

Can burn scars affect movement?

Yes. As deeper burns heal, scar tissue can become tight and contract, particularly around joints. This may restrict movement and can lead to a condition called contracture. Exercises, positioning, splinting, scar management and, when necessary, surgery may help improve function.

Can old burn scars or contractures be treated?

In many cases, old scars and contractures can be evaluated for treatment. Depending on their severity and location, treatment may include scar management, physiotherapy, contracture release, skin grafting or other reconstructive procedures.

Is reconstructive surgery only for improving appearance?

No. Reconstructive surgery aims to restore function as well as appearance. It may help cover damaged or missing tissue, improve movement, support wound healing and address functional problems caused by burns, trauma or other conditions.
