Abstract

Facial burns represent a challenge to all multidisciplinary burn teams. Face is an anatomic area that involves aesthetics, emotional and social interaction, function and sensorium. Acute burns to the face and post-burn deformity causes significant psychological and physical discomfort to the victim. Full support from the whole burn team is necessary to abrogate their effects. All the armamentarium of plastic surgery, from simple topical wound care to vascularised composite allotransplantation, should be implemented to obtain a complete recovery.
