Yawar Nissar, Lenah Bashir, Umar Farooq Baba, Khawar Nissar.


Abstract
Face is a core central feature of an individual. Facial burns are not uncommon and can be emergent conditions when associated with an inhalational component. Respiratory complications pose a challenge in initial resuscitation and ICU care. Inhalational burns increase mortality in all age groups. In our retrospective study we found that facial burns dominated in male gender, scald burns are the most common causes of facial burns followed by electric burns and superficial burns were common than deep burns. We came to the conclusion in our study that if mixed degree facial burns don’t heal within 3 weeks, they should be skin grafted to prevent ugly contractures and hasten recovery.

Key words: facial burns, deep burns,conservative management, skin graft, aesthetic outcome
