Scarring and tissue damage after a burn injury can often be improved by cosmetic (plastic) surgery, but not all patients are candidates for plastic surgery, and surgery may not always restore the original appearance.
Scarring from burns due to connective tissue growth, combined with the condition of the burned skin and the individual’s skin type, can be improved by a doctor who can develop an appropriate medical approach that can alleviate the severity of the burns and repair the damaged skin tissue.
If the burns are not particularly serious and the skin is not scarred, cosmetic surgery, such as laser scar removal, fillers, skin grafts, flap grafts, etc., can be performed to improve the appearance, but the results of the surgery are related to the severity of the condition and may not necessarily restore the original appearance.
If you have a scarred body, or the damage is too large, poor general condition, it is not recommended to carry out plastic surgery, because the surgical operation will also cause further damage to the local skin tissues, and after the operation will also increase the scope of scarring, damage or difficult to heal, resulting in unstable vital signs, further affecting the aesthetic and the patient’s physical health.
Whether or not to carry out cosmetic surgery after burns and the specific program to the regular medical institutions to consult, in order to protect the results and reduce the risk.
