Can a burn be corrected by skin grafting?
I want to know if the skin can be corrected if a person had a burn and the burn left a scar on the person's body. Is there a hospital in Nigeria that does the plastic surgery of correcting the skin to remove the scars and get the skin back or at leas
Yes, the scar can be corrected and skin resurfaced with a skin graft. Any plastic surgeon can do that for you.
kindly check the list of plastic surgeons registered on this website and find one that is closest to your locality.
Thank you
