Burn & Scar Surgery
Burn injuries and scars can limit movement, cause discomfort, and affect confidence—but precise surgical care can restore function and appearance. At AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre, we provide comprehensive Burn & Scar Surgery in Lahore under the care of Dr. Zameer Abbas Mir (FCPS, Plastic Surgery), using modern techniques like skin grafts, flaps, contracture release, tissue expansion, and laser-assisted scar revision for durable, natural results.
Our goal is simple: release restrictions, resurface damaged areas, and refine scars for functional recovery and aesthetic harmony.
What Is Burn & Scar Surgery?
Burn & Scar Surgery addresses acute and long-term effects of burns, including tight scar bands (contractures), discolored or thick scars, and contour deformities. Treatments range from minor scar revisions to complex reconstructions with grafts and flaps to restore motion, comfort, and appearance. Care plans are individualized, often staged, and may combine surgery with therapies like pressure garments, silicone, splinting, and lasers.
Burn & Scar Procedures We Offer
Contracture Release
Surgical release of tight scar bands that restrict movement (neck, shoulder, elbow, hand, knee, ankle).
Often combined with Z‑plasty, skin grafts, or flap coverage to restore range of motion.
Skin Grafting
Split- or full-thickness skin grafts to resurface areas after scar release or excision.
Used for stable coverage, improved texture, and better contour.
Z‑Plasty and Scar Rearrangement
Geometric tissue rearrangement to lengthen tight scars, reorient lines, and improve mobility and appearance.
Useful around joints, eyelids, lips, and web-spaces.
Flap Surgery (Local, Regional, Free)
Vascularized tissue transfer to replace deficient skin and soft tissue.
Provides durable coverage, improved pliability, and better aesthetics in complex defects.
Tissue Expansion
Gradual expansion of nearby normal skin to replace scarred areas with similar color and texture.
Especially useful on scalp, face, and trunk for improved cosmetic match.
Laser & Adjunctive Scar Therapy
Laser for hypertrophic scars, redness, and texture; silicone, pressure garments, steroid injections, and microneedling as adjuncts.
Often combined with surgery for optimal results.
The Burn & Scar Surgery Process
Our process ensures comfort, safety, and precision at every step:
- Consultation: You’ll meet Dr. Zameer Abbas to assess scar type, restriction, and goals, including function and appearance.
- Preparation: Preoperative planning may include therapy, splints, pressure garments, and imaging where needed.
- Procedure: The selected technique (release, graft, flap, Z‑plasty, tissue expansion, or laser) is performed to restore movement and refine appearance.
- Restoration: Functional restoration (range of motion, eyelid/lip closure, hand use) and scar aesthetics are prioritized together.
- Recovery: You’ll receive detailed wound care, splinting/garment, and exercise instructions to protect results.
Most patients notice functional improvement within 2–4 weeks, with scar maturation and refinement continuing for 3–12 months depending on treatment.
Recovery & Aftercare
After surgery, swelling, tightness, or sensitivity are expected and managed with dressings, medication, and therapy.
We provide comprehensive aftercare:
Wound care, dressing changes, and graft/flap protection
Splinting and physiotherapy to maintain motion gains
Pressure garments/silicone for scar modulation
Scheduled follow-ups and scar care coaching
Return to desk work often occurs within 1–2 weeks; therapy may continue for several weeks to secure lasting functional gains.
Burn & Scar Surgery Results
Effective reconstruction can be life-changing. Patients typically experience:
Restored movement and reduced tightness
Smoother contours and softer, flatter scars over time
Improved comfort, function, and confidence
Each procedure at AIMS Aesthetic & Medical Centre is performed with precision to ensure results that are reliable, functional, and aesthetically refined.
