Burn injuries can affect both physical function and emotional well-being. At The Plastic Surgery Group at City Centre, our board-certified plastic surgeons work alongside multidisciplinary medical teams to help patients recover from burn trauma and restore both form and function whenever possible.

Causes of Burns

Burn injuries can occur in many ways, ranging from household accidents to more severe traumatic events. Common causes of burns include:

  • Scald injuries from hot liquids
  • Contact burns from hot surfaces such as stoves or appliances
  • Electrical injuries
  • Flame burns from fires, campfires, or household accidents
  • Chemical burns from exposure to corrosive substances

The severity of a burn depends on factors such as temperature, duration of exposure, and the area of the body involved.

Surgical Care for Burns

More serious burns may require hospital admission and specialized surgical treatment, including procedures such as skin grafting to replace damaged tissue and promote healing.

Many patients can receive treatment close to home. However, individuals with severe injuries—such as electrical burns, lightning strikes, smoke inhalation, or complex burns involving the hands or feet—may be referred to specialized burn centers for advanced care.

In British Columbia, major burn units are located at Vancouver General Hospital and BC Children’s Hospital. These facilities provide specialized expertise and resources for the treatment of complex burn injuries. Organizations such as the BC Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund also play an important role in supporting burn care, prevention initiatives, and research that improves outcomes for burn survivors.

Burn Treatment and Recovery

The treatment approach for a burn injury depends on the depth, size, and location of the burn. Minor burns are often managed on an outpatient basis with specialized dressings, wound care, and close follow-up until the area has healed.

More severe burns may require surgical procedures, rehabilitation, and long-term scar management. Throughout treatment, the focus is not only on healing the injury but also on preserving function and achieving the best possible aesthetic outcome.

Your surgeon will discuss the most appropriate treatment plan based on the nature of your injury and your overall health, ensuring that care is tailored to your individual recovery needs.
