PAMF Burn Repair Services

Scars from severe burns can interfere with your mobility and make you feel self conscious about your appearance. Plastic surgeons at Palo Alto Medical Foundation can reduce scarring to improve your quality of life.

Skilled Scar Reduction

Severe burns from fire, chemicals, electricity or heat can leave you with deep and painful scars. While surgery and therapeutic procedures can’t remove burn scars entirely, plastic surgeons in the Sutter Health network can reduce the physical appearance of scars.

We offer a wide variety of scar reduction procedures, including scar revision surgery, dermabrasion, skin grafts, and skin flaps. For scars that cause restricted movement of your muscles, joints and tendons, scar release surgery is available. Depending on the location of your constraining scar, skin grafts, scar revision surgery and skin flaps might be used to replace the scar tissue removed during the release procedure.

Highly trained plastic surgeons in the Sutter Health network are certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, and many are members of the California Society of Plastic Surgeons.
