The picture above is that of an young unfortunate girl who suffered a flame burn in her childhood resulting in an unsightly scar over her right breast. She wanted to get the scar removed as she wished to get married. The scar was removed and a skin graft was applied. An immediate post operative picture is shown. The donor skin was taken from her lax lower abdomen and the defect was closed primarily. However one has to wait for a year to see how the final result will look like as the new skin applied has to 'take' and settle down. In this case miss A was quite satisfied with the results+
