A burn needs two different kinds of care. Getting through the acute phase safely, and then dealing with the scar it leaves behind. Both are handled here.

Healed burns and old contractures are seen by appointment. Send photographs of the scar and a note of when the burn happened, because timing changes what is advised.

Dr. Ashutosh Shah is a Plastic, Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgeon (DNB) practising in Surat, Gujarat. The work covered by this site is reconstructive, which means restoring form and function after birth differences, burns, injury, cancer surgery, infection and chronic wounds.
Consultations are unhurried. You are told what the problem is, which options genuinely apply, what each involves, and what it will realistically achieve, including where an operation is not the right answer.
Acute burn costs depend on the area burned and the length of stay, so they are given as a written estimate as care proceeds. Planned reconstruction is quoted before admission.
Burn patients are referred from across Surat district and the neighbouring districts, often after initial treatment elsewhere.
Each page below covers one kind of work at the Surat clinic, with the questions patients ask about it, the cost band and how to reach the team.
These are the questions families ask most often after a burn. If yours is not here, send it on WhatsApp and the team will reply, usually the same day.
Ask your question →Cool the area under running tap water for about twenty minutes and keep the person warm otherwise. Avoid ice, toothpaste, oil and ointments, then cover loosely with a clean cloth and go to hospital.
Burns that are large, deep or blistered, and any burn involving the face, hands, feet, joints or genitals. Burns in small children and elderly people also need review even when they look modest.
Scars are usually allowed to mature before planned revision, unless a contracture is limiting a joint or affecting growth in a child. In that situation release is done sooner.
Grafted skin usually stays different in colour and texture, and it settles over many months. The first aim is safe closure and free movement, with appearance improved later where that is possible.
They can, particularly in children who are still growing. Splinting, therapy and pressure garments after surgery reduce that risk, and review continues as the child grows.
Burn admissions are generally covered under mediclaim policies subject to the terms, and scheme cover may apply. Pre authorisation is raised at admission wherever the situation allows.
It depends on the area burned, whether surgery is needed and how healing progresses, so it varies widely. The team gives a running estimate rather than a fixed figure at the start.
