The effect of partial-thickness facial burns on social functioning.
The impact of partial-thickness facial burns on the behavior of adults was investigated. Burn injuries of the face often have a deleterious effect on the psychologic well-being of the patient. Even when no skin grafting is performed, there seems to be significant deterioration of the physical and emotional function of adults after they have incurred partial-thickness burns of the face.
