Aesthetic Medicine: Burns and Scarring

A scar from a burn or wound can have a severe impact physically and emotionally on a patient. Many patients who have suffered a burn or other scarring seek out a plastic surgeon who specializes in scar reconstruction to improve their appearance and self-esteem. Reconstructive cosmetic procedures for burns or scarring include skin grafting, using silicon gel sheets to soften scars and tissue expanders to stretch the skin.
