Basic techniques for optimizing burn wound healing: insights from clinical practice

Figure 12. A patient with 31% third-degree burns to his entire head, face, arms, hands, and legs nearly 10 years ago. He underwent sheet grafts on his hands [Figure 5] and face, with meshed grafts in the other areas. He had a “wrap-around” face graft (A, B, and C), with some areas of loss to the right side of the face (B). He had a recent right neck contracture release with a graft under the angle of the jaw (B). The “wrap-around” face graft leads to an acceptable outcome despite requiring separate grafts to most of the scalp. The seam is seen coursing inferiorly from the right commissure when looking straight at (A). There are no seams on his left side (C). The patient provided consent for the use of the picture.
