Burn injuries can happen in many ways—house fires, firecrackers, industrial accidents, electrical burns, chemical spills (like acid), or even something as simple as a hot tea or oil spill, especially in children. No matter the cause, timely and expert care is crucial to minimize complications and promote healing.
Dr. Kaustubh Prabhune, a highly experienced Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeon in Pune, offers specialized treatment for burns and post-burn deformities, focusing on rapid recovery and minimal scarring.
Acute Burn Care
In the early stages, Dr. Prabhune uses advanced techniques and specialized dressing materials like collagen to help burn wounds heal faster, with the aim of preventing long-term scars or deformities. This expert approach ensures that the skin heals smoothly and function is preserved as much as possible.
Managing Late Presentations & Deformities
Sometimes, patients may seek help later, after the burns have healed, but leave behind deformities or restricted movement (contractures) in the neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or fingers. In such cases, surgical release procedures are performed, often using skin grafts or flaps, to restore mobility and improve appearance.
Scar Management
For those suffering from hypertrophic scars, additional treatments such as pressure garments are used to flatten and soften the scar tissue, improving both comfort and cosmetic outcome.
Restoring Mobility and Quality of Life
The ultimate goal is not just healing but also restoring function and confidence. Whether it’s regaining movement in a joint or reducing the appearance of scars, Dr. Prabhune's patient-centric approach helps individuals return to normal life with dignity and ease.
If you or a loved one is dealing with burns or post-burn complications, don’t delay seeking expert care.
