RESUMO
The study involved 152 patients with facial burns consequences (including 118 patients with burns of the mouth). Specific post-burn deformities were revealed: I type - deformity of the anatomical unit caused by scar tissue traction from adjacent regions (the unit itself preserved); II type - distortion caused by single scars without significant tissue defect; III type - post-burn deformities with total or subtotal skin scarring; IV type - tissue defects characterized by loss of anatomical unit with deep anatomical structures down to the bone and possible exposition of the paranasal sinuses and face cavities. Such classification based on the amount of tissue loss dictates the choice of surgical technique, allowing optimal functional and aesthetic treatment results.
