Burns & Trauma

Dr Weyers specialises in cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery for burns & trauma procedures, helping patients across South Africa. Plastic surgery procedures assist in both the function and the cosmetic appearance of burn scars and are focused on and improved on.

Is Reconstructive Plastic Surgery For Me?

Dr Deon Weyers can help those who have severe burns or have been affected by other traumatic situations. Facial scarring that leads to problems with the eyelids, lips, nose, or hair loss can also be helped with reconstructive burn surgery. Scars that are abnormally thick, wide, or discolored might also be improved by a variety of operative and non-operative methods.

How is Reconstructive Plastic Surgery Performed?

This procedure involves altering scar tissue, with both non-invasive and surgical treatment. Surgery will not be able to remove the burn scars entirely, but it will help improve basic functions and make scars less noticeable. Scarring can limit the normal motion of the neck, shoulder, hands, or legs. Often surgery to help release this contracture can help a patient regain range of motion.

Healing and Recovery

Healing and recovery are dependent on the type of procedure and extent of treatment.
