May. 2021The face is a central aspect of identity and one of our most expressive means of communication. These and other functi-ons can be compromised as a result of a facial burn. Despite major improvements in burn care in the 20th century, scar formation remains a problematic con-sequence of burns and may be a factor that influences psychosocial adjustment, especially in the case of facial scarring. This thesis contains an extensive overview of the trajectory of facial burns, including the epidemiology, treatment and psycho-social impact of facial burns.
