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, skin
flaps and laser
skin surgery. 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.
