ObjectiveTo explore optimal methods of the management of deep facial burn, so as to prevent the development of facial scar hypertrophy and deformity.MethodsPartial tangential excision, delayed skin grafting, early relief of the eyelid eschar and immediate skin grafting were carried out in burn patients with deep facial burn during the early postburn stage.ResultsThe wounds in 12 cases had healed completely within 3 postburn weeks(PBW). Scar hypertrophy and facial deformity were not observed during the follow-up. All the patients could express natural facial expressions.ConclusionFacial deep burn wound could be managed as soon as possible with early partial tangential excision and delayed skin grafting. As a result, facial scar hypertrophy and deformity could be avoided.
