Burn Surgery
Severe burns can leave not only physical scars but also emotional ones. Whether caused by accidents, heat, chemicals, or electricity, burn injuries often affect both appearance and function. At Dr. Zameer’s Aims Aesthetic & Medical Centre in Lahore, we provide specialized burn treatment and reconstructive surgery designed to restore both form and confidence.
Dr. Zameer, an experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeon, has extensive expertise in burn management, scar revision, and skin grafting procedures. His goal is to help patients recover from burn injuries through advanced surgical and non-surgical methods that promote healing, restore mobility, and improve cosmetic appearance.
Types of Burn Treatments
Depending on the severity and area of the burn, treatment may involve one or more surgical techniques. Dr. Zameer carefully evaluates each case to recommend the most effective approach for optimal results.
1. Skin Grafts
In cases where the skin has been severely damaged, skin grafting may be necessary. This procedure involves removing healthy skin from one part of the body (donor site) and transplanting it to the burned area.
Skin grafts help:
-
Cover large wounds or deep burns
-
Reduce infection risk
-
Improve healing and mobility
-
Enhance the appearance of scarred skin
There are two main types of grafts:
-
Split-thickness grafts, which include the outer layers of the skin and are used for larger wounds.
-
Full-thickness grafts, which include all layers of the skin and are ideal for smaller, more visible areas like the face or hands.
2. Microsurgery
For patients who have lost parts of fingers, ears, lips, or other critical structures, microsurgery offers a highly specialized reconstructive option.
This technique involves reattaching or reconstructing small tissues, nerves, and blood vessels under a microscope.
Microsurgery can help:
-
Reattach severed body parts such as a finger or ear
-
Restore blood circulation and nerve function
-
Improve overall appearance and functionality after severe burns
3. Scar Revision and Reconstructive Procedures
After burn wounds heal, many patients are left with thick scars, contractures, or skin irregularities. Dr. Zameer performs scar revision surgeries to improve flexibility, skin texture, and appearance.
These procedures may include:
-
Z-plasty or W-plasty to release tight scar tissue
-
Laser resurfacing to smooth and lighten scars
-
Fat grafting or fillers to correct skin irregularities
The goal is to enhance both function and aesthetics, helping patients regain natural movement and self-confidence.
