Burn scars can develop after the skin heals from a burn injury and may cause changes in skin texture, colour, flexibility, or appearance. Some scars can also become tight and restrict movement, particularly when they form around joints, the neck, face, or hands. At Bombay Hospital Jaipur, burn scar treatment is tailored to the type, location, severity, and functional impact of the scar.
Types of Burn Scar Concerns
Burn scars may appear as:
Raised or thickened scars Tight or contracted scars Changes in skin pigmentation Uneven skin texture Scars that restrict movement Visible scars affecting facial or body appearance
A specialist assessment helps determine whether the scar is primarily a cosmetic concern or is affecting movement and function.
Treatment depends on the maturity and characteristics of the scar. Depending on the individual case, options may include scar revision, contracture release, skin grafting, or flap reconstruction. Non-surgical scar management may also be recommended in suitable cases.
For scars that cause functional limitations, reconstructive surgery may help release tight tissue and improve movement. When surgery is required, the approach is planned carefully to preserve healthy surrounding tissue and achieve appropriate coverage.
Not every burn scar requires surgery. Your plastic surgeon will evaluate the scar, skin quality, previous treatment, symptoms, and functional limitations before recommending an appropriate treatment approach.
Burn scar treatment may sometimes require more than one procedure, particularly when extensive scarring or contractures are present. Follow-up is important to monitor healing and scar maturation, and additional scar-care measures may be recommended during recovery.
