Burns can be devastating injuries. I am sorry for your suffering. Burn reconstruction is principally for healing of open burn wounds and then relief of any functional issues that might be caused by flexion contractures that make it difficult for burn patients to move their arms/legs/hands/neck normally. Facial burns frequently require complex reconstuction of the nose, mouth and eyelids. The surgical specialty that deals with the bulk of these issues is plastic surgery. Reconstructive plastic surgery to restore form and function is our principal mission. Best wishes to you and I hope that you can find a plastic surgeon to help you recover.

I would need to see photos of what you are concerned about. The area could be excised or you may need a tissue expander which provides unburned skin.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your burn severity. I would recommend seeking out burn surgery specialists in your area to discuss reconstructive options through layering and skin rearrangement surgeries. Hope this helps.
