The treatment of the sequelae of facial burns is still a controversial subject. The authors present a retrospective study of 1516 cases between 1967 and 1987. They suggest a more conservative approach of the therapy in purely aesthetic lesions. Therefore, they wait for the "softening" of the scars and start an operative treatment after the maturation of the collagen connective tissue. Functional sequelae have to be treated earlier according to their dimension and according to the aesthetic units affected.
