Yes. That's a common surgery done by plastic surgeons. You may want them treated because of their appearance or because they limit your function.
yes -- some Hand Plastic surgeons treat hand burns
It depends on the size and location of the burns. Burns on the backs of the hands are more likely to be able to be removed. Again it depends on the size and location of the burns as well as the condition of the surrounding tissue.
Check with a cosmetic dermatologist to consider laser treatments.
Certainly! Depending on the severity and location of burn scars there are a variety of treatment options. There will always be some scar with any surgery, but there are options to improve appearance of scars and increase hand range of motion and function when scars are restrictive.
In many cases, hand scars from burns can be surgically removed. However, this really depends upon the location and extent of the scar. I would recommend you consult either a hand surgeon or a plastic surgeon.
