Plastic and Burn Surgery
Plastic and burn surgery is a specialized field of surgery that focuses on the restoration, reconstruction, and enhancement of physical appearance and function through surgical interventions. This field encompasses a variety of procedures, including those to repair injuries, correct congenital deformities, and improve the aesthetic appearance of patients. Burn surgery specifically addresses the treatment of patients with severe burns and aims to minimize the damage, restore skin integrity, and improve quality of life.
Plastic and burn surgery involves both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures aimed at restoring appearance and function. Some of the common surgeries include:
Burn Reconstruction: Surgery to repair and restore the skin and underlying tissues after severe burns, including skin grafts, tissue expansion, and flap surgery.
Facial Reconstruction: Procedures to correct facial deformities or injuries, including those caused by trauma, cancer surgery, or congenital conditions such as cleft lip and palate.
Skin Grafting: A surgical technique used to treat severe burn injuries or chronic wounds by transplanting healthy skin from one area of the body to another to promote healing.
Cosmetic Surgery: A broad category of procedures aimed at enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the body, such as breast augmentation, facelifts, rhinoplasty, and liposuction.
