About Burn Reconstruction
Burn reconstruction surgery restores function and appearance to areas affected by burn injuries. Our team provides comprehensive care from acute burn management through long-term reconstructive procedures to improve both function and aesthetics.
Burn reconstruction is a specialized field of plastic surgery that restores function and appearance after burn injuries. At Aestique Clinic, our surgeons are experienced in the full spectrum of burn reconstruction, from early acute management to late revision surgery for established burn scars and contractures.
Burns can cause devastating physical and psychological effects, including scar contractures that limit movement, disfiguring scarring, and chronic pain. Our comprehensive approach addresses both functional restoration and aesthetic improvement, helping patients regain quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should burn reconstruction be performed?
Acute burn reconstruction may begin during initial treatment. Elective scar revision is best performed 12-18 months after the burn, once scars have matured.
Can burn scars be completely removed?
Complete scar removal is not possible, but significant improvement in appearance and function is achievable. Multiple techniques can reduce scar visibility by 50-80%.
How many surgeries will I need?
This depends on the extent and location of the burn. Some patients require a single procedure; others benefit from staged reconstruction over several surgeries.
