Burns and Reconstructive Surgery: Key Numbers
Burns are a major reason for reconstructive plastic surgery in India. The Directorate General of Health Services estimates 6 to 7 million burn injuries in India every year, with over 10 lakh people moderately or severely burnt, and about 1.4 lakh deaths. These figures are estimates, as India has no national burn registry.
Plastic surgeons also treat hand injuries, diabetic foot wounds, breast reconstruction after cancer and birth defects such as cleft lip and palate, as well as cosmetic surgery. Choosing a surgeon with recognised plastic surgery training is the most important safety step.
Burn First Aid: Do and Don’t
| Do | Don’t |
|---|---|
| Cool the burn under running tap water for 20 minutes | Apply ice, toothpaste, oil or butter |
| Remove rings and tight items near the burn | Burst blisters |
| Cover loosely with clean cling film or cloth | Use cotton wool directly on the burn |
| Go to hospital for large, deep, facial, hand, genital, electrical or chemical burns | Delay care for burns in children or older adults |
What to Expect at Your First Visit
- Consultation: your concern, goals, medical history, smoking and medicines.
- Examination: the area to be treated and photographs with consent.
- Options: surgical and non-surgical choices, expected results, scars and risks.
- Planning: tests, anaesthesia review and a clear total cost.
- Recovery: dressings, garments, follow-up visits and scar care.
How to Choose the Right Plastic Surgeon in Manikonda
- Check the qualification: look for an MCh or DNB in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Be cautious of cosmetic procedures done by doctors without this training.
- Match the need: cosmetic surgery, burns and scar reconstruction, hand surgery, breast reconstruction after cancer and diabetic foot care are often handled by surgeons with different interests.
- Look at the set-up: major procedures such as liposuction or tummy tuck should be done in a hospital with an anaesthetist and ICU back-up.
- Bring your records: photos, earlier operation notes, a list of medicines and any diabetes, heart or smoking history help planning.
- Ask about realistic results: ask what result to expect, the recovery time, possible scars and the total cost, and take time before deciding.
