Burn reconstruction surgery is a specialized procedure designed to restore both the function and appearance of skin affected by severe burns. This surgery aims to repair damaged tissue, minimize scarring, and improve mobility, helping patients regain their confidence and quality of life. Contractures, the abnormal tightening and shortening of skin and underlying tissues, can restrict movement and cause joint deformities, significantly impacting both function and appearance. Utilizing advanced techniques like skin grafts, tissue flaps, and scar revision, burn reconstruction addresses these physical and emotional challenges. The goal is to provide a natural-looking, functional outcome that supports healing and enhances overall well-being.
