Burn injuries are among the most complex and traumatic wounds the body can suffer. Whether caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation, burns can damage the skin, underlying tissue, muscles, and even bones. Timely and appropriate management is essential not only to save life and prevent infection, but also to restore function and appearance.
Dr. Ravi Saroha, a senior plastic and reconstructive surgeon in Delhi, offers expert care for acute burn injuries and post-burn reconstruction, combining life-saving treatment with aesthetic and functional rehabilitation.
Dr. Saroha provides a comprehensive range of services for burn patients, including:
Acute Burn ManagementYes. Plastic surgery techniques such as scar revision, skin grafting, flap surgery, and fat grafting can significantly improve the appearance and functionality of post-burn scars.
Skin grafting involves taking healthy skin from one part of the body and placing it over a burn wound. It’s typically used for deep second-degree or third-degree burns where natural healing is not possible or would result in severe scarring.
Recovery depends on the severity of the burn, the area involved, and the patient’s health. Minor burns may heal in 7–10 days, while deep burns with surgery may take weeks to months, followed by rehabilitation.
Most moderate to severe burns do leave some form of scar. However, with early intervention, expert wound closure, and proper follow-up, visible scarring can be minimized or treated surgically over time.
