Reconstruction of post-burn deformities is a specialized area within plastic and reconstructive surgery focused on restoring both form and function to areas of the body affected by burns. Burn injuries can result in significant tissue damage, scarring, and functional impairments, leading to deformities that can impact a person's appearance, mobility, and quality of life. Reconstruction of post-burn deformities typically involves a combination of surgical techniques aimed at improving the appearance and function of the affected areas. This may include scar revision, tissue expansion, skin grafting, flap reconstruction, and other advanced procedures tailored to each individual's unique needs. The goal of reconstruction is to minimize the appearance of scars, restore flexibility and range of motion, and improve overall aesthetics and function. Multidisciplinary teams, including plastic surgeons, burn specialists, physical therapists, and psychologists, often collaborate to provide comprehensive care for patients with post-burn deformities, addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of their recovery.
