Burn Complications

Burn complications can result in scarring, contractures, pigmentation changes, and functional impairments. Treatments vary depending on the severity of the burn and the specific complications that arise. The goal is to restore function, improve skin texture, and enhance appearance.

This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing:

Hypertrophic or keloid scars that are thick, raised, or discolored.
Contractures that restrict movement due to tight scar tissue.
Skin discoloration or uneven texture resulting from burn injuries.
Pain, discomfort, or sensitivity in the affected area.

Treatment options may include scar revision surgery, skin grafting, laser therapy, fat grafting, or tissue expansion to restore flexibility and improve aesthetics. Each approach is tailored to the patient’s condition to achieve the best functional and cosmetic outcome.

Contracture

Contracture occurs when the skin, muscles, or tendons become tight and restrict movement, often due to burns, injuries, or surgical scars. Contracture release surgery helps restore flexibility and function by releasing or reconstructing the affected tissue.

This procedure is ideal for individuals experiencing:

Limited range of motion due to tight, hardened scar tissue.
Burn contractures causing skin tightening and deformity.
Post-surgical or traumatic scarring that restricts movement.

Treatment options may include scar excision, skin grafting, Z-plasty, tissue expansion, or tendon release, depending on the severity of the contracture. The goal is to improve mobility, relieve discomfort, and enhance the appearance of the affected area.
