Restoring Function. Renewing Confidence.

Burn injuries and traumatic accidents can leave lasting physical and emotional scars. At Dr. Sannia Salim’s practice, we combine advanced surgical techniques with deep compassion to help patients reclaim their appearance, function, and quality of life.

Scar Revision & Contracture Release

Scars from burns or injuries can restrict movement, cause discomfort, or affect self-esteem. Scar revision and contracture release surgery is aimed at improving both appearance and mobility. Depending on the severity, Dr. Sannia may use techniques such as skin grafts, Z-plasty, or flap surgery to release tight skin and smoothen irregular scar tissue.

Whether it’s a small scar on the hand or a large contracture affecting joint movement, we develop personalized surgical plans to restore freedom of motion and enhance confidence.

Facial Feature Reconstruction (Eyelid, Nose, Lip, Ear)

Facial trauma and burns can distort delicate structures like the eyelids, nose, lips, or ears—areas that are essential for both appearance and function. With expertise in reconstructive microsurgery and aesthetic restoration, Dr. Sannia offers precise reconstruction of facial features, carefully balancing form and functionality.

Whether correcting a post-burn deformity, restoring facial symmetry, or rebuilding soft tissue damage, our goal is to help you look and feel like yourself again.

Aesthetic & Functional Rehabilitation

Recovery doesn’t stop at wound closure. Full rehabilitation includes restoring the natural appearance and normal function of affected areas. Dr. Sannia focuses on both aesthetic finesse and functional integrity—ensuring patients can move, express, and live without limitations or self-consciousness.

Each reconstructive journey is tailored to your unique needs, combining medical precision with artistic sensibility.

Downtime, Results & Safety

Burn and post-traumatic reconstruction procedures aim to restore both form and function—helping patients regain confidence, mobility, and quality of life. Recovery timelines can vary based on the extent and location of the injury, as well as the specific reconstructive techniques used:
Hospital stay (if required): Typically 2–7 days, depending on the complexity of surgery
Light activity or work: Resume within 2–4 weeks, depending on healing progress
Strenuous activity: Resume after 6–8 weeks or as advised
Visible improvement: Begins as swelling reduces and healing progresses over 6–12 weeks
Scarring: Managed through specialized techniques; may improve over time with therapy and further refinement procedures
All reconstructive surgeries are performed in a fully equipped, accredited surgical facility.
Dr. Sannia utilizes advanced microsurgical and reconstructive protocols to ensure patient safety, reduce complications, and support optimal healing outcomes. In some cases, staged procedures or additional therapies (e.g., physiotherapy, scar management) may be recommended as part of comprehensive recovery.
