Two related problems — a scar that has healed badly, a burn that has contracted — each asking a different kind of reconstruction.
Scar revision and keloid management aim to change how a scar matures, not simply to cut it out; tension across a healing wound is often what made it thick in the first place, so the plan usually addresses that as much as the scar itself.
Burn reconstruction deals with what a healed burn leaves behind — contracture limiting movement, loss of tissue, altered surface — through release, grafting and flap reconstruction. [SCAR AND BURN CASES ACCEPTED — e.g. time since injury, referral route].

Candidacy for any procedure is determined at an in-person consultation. Not every procedure suits every patient.
