Burns and Plastic Surgery

Burns are injuries to the skin and underlying tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation. Plastic surgery is a medical specialty focused on repairing, reconstructing, or improving the body’s appearance and function. In burn care, plastic surgeons treat wounds, restore skin, and improve mobility or appearance after severe injuries. They use techniques like skin grafts, tissue reconstruction, and scar management to promote healing and restore form and function. Overall, plastic surgery plays a vital role in helping burn victims recover both physically and emotionally.
