Abstract
Hypertrophic scars and contractures are the result of the contraction of healing burns, giving a rigid mask-like, expressionless appearance of the face. Skin replacement should be done in stages, successively in the various regional entities of the face. The treatment of the burn-scarred skin of the face includes various methods of pedicles flaps, splitt- and full-thickness grafts, hair-bearing grafts to restore eyebrow etc. These alternatives are shown in this paper and illustrated by case reports from our clinic.
