title: [Esthetic reconstruction of the face in burnt patients].
abstract: All reconstruction should be aesthetic but in burned patient, everything combines to make a cosmetically satisfactory result more difficult to achieve. However the burns patients, deformed and disfigured has to confront the gaze of others in daily life. Three points are discussed by authors: skin quality can be improved or replaced by a full thickness pressure graft; surgical modification of the underlying structures; repair of peri-orificial areas and free edges.
