About Burns at Kayakriti

Burns range from superficial sunburns to deep injuries that destroy skin, fat, muscle and even bone. Causes include flame, scald, hot surfaces, chemicals and electricity. Early burn wound care focuses on stopping the burning process, fluid resuscitation when needed, infection control and timely debridement. Our team manages outpatient burns and coordinates inpatient care for more extensive injuries.

Depth assessment guides treatment. Superficial and partial-thickness burns often heal with dressings and moisturisers. Deeper partial and full-thickness burns require skin grafting, where healthy skin from another body part is used to cover the wound. Burn surgery decisions are based on burn depth, location, age and medical fitness, and are explained clearly before any procedure is planned.

Once the acute phase is over, attention shifts to scars and function. Hypertrophic scars, keloids, contractures and pigmentation changes can affect appearance, comfort and movement. Burn reconstruction at Kayakriti combines pressure garments, silicone, intralesional injections, laser sessions and surgery as needed. The plan is tailored to age, scar maturity and the area involved, and is reviewed regularly.

Specific scar problems are addressed in dedicated sub-pages: contractures, keloid and white-patch scars, hair loss on burn scars, facial burn scars, chemical burns and electric burns. Each requires a slightly different strategy, but all share principles of careful planning, conservative early measures and well-timed surgery. Our team takes time to explain options so patients can make informed choices.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

When should I see a plastic surgeon after a burn?
See a plastic surgeon as soon as possible for any burn that blisters, is larger than your palm, involves the face, hands, feet, joints or genitals, or is caused by chemicals or electricity. Early review reduces complications, supports healing and helps plan scar management before problems become difficult to reverse.
Will all burns leave scars?
Superficial burns usually heal without significant scars. Deeper burns commonly leave hypertrophic scars, keloids or contractures. Early skin grafting, structured pressure therapy, silicone and laser treatments reduce the impact significantly. We tailor the plan to depth, location, age and individual healing patterns to give the best long-term result.
How long does burn reconstruction take overall?
Acute burns heal over weeks, while scar maturation continues for one to two years. Reconstructive procedures are usually staged across this period to match scar maturity. Patients commonly need a combination of surgery, laser sessions and rehabilitation. We map the journey at the first consultation so you know what to expect.
Who leads burn treatment at Kayakriti?
Dr. Amit Agarwal, FRCS Edinburgh and American Board of Plastic Surgery, leads burn care at Kayakriti, supported by a dedicated nursing and physiotherapy team. He has extensive experience with skin grafting, flap reconstruction and complex scar revision, and personally oversees each patient's plan from acute care through long-term follow-up.
Is burn treatment in Lucknow expensive?
Costs vary with burn size, depth, treatment type and length of stay. Outpatient dressings cost far less than admission for surgery. Many insurers cover acute burn care and reconstruction. Our team provides a clear, itemised estimate after consultation so families understand surgery, dressings and follow-up costs in advance.
