BURN RECONSTRUCTION: Burn reconstruction is the term for reconstructive surgery performed on abnormal anatomy of the body caused by trauma or injury. This surgery can improve physical function and restore normal appearance. The reconstruction process often requires several operations, depending on the severity of the burns and the health of the patient.
Dr. DeWeese treats burn patients at Saint Francis Memorial Bothin Burn Unit in San Francisco. The Bothin Burn Unit is the only verified burn unit in the Bay Area.
