Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Restoring form and function after burns, trauma and deformity
Overview
Reconstructive surgery repairs tissue damaged by burns, accidents, infection or congenital deformity. The aim is to restore normal function first and appearance alongside it.
Techniques include skin grafting, flap cover and scar revision, often staged over several procedures with wound care and physiotherapy in between.

Frequently asked questions
How soon should a burn be treated?
Immediately. Early cooling and specialist dressing greatly reduce the depth of injury and later scarring.
Can scars be removed completely?
Scars can be made much less noticeable and more supple, but no scar can be erased entirely.
Is reconstruction done in one operation?
Often not. Complex reconstruction is planned in stages with healing time between each.
