Travis Barker Photos Plastic Surgery Before and After

DJ AM and Travis Barker Burned in Plane Crash

As you may have already heard, DJ AM and former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker were severely burned in a plane crash which killed four other people. According to CNN.com, they both suffered second and third degree burns, Barker to the torso and lower body, and DJ AM to the head and arm. They are currently at the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia.

I’ve worked in a Burn Unit several times during my plastic surgery training, and now occasionally take care of minor burns. Third degree burns are also known as full thickness burns, and necessitate skin grafting for the area to properly heal. Second degree burns (split thickness burns) are characterized by blistering. Depending on how they heal, second degree burns may or may not need skin grafting. Burns wounds, as you may guess, are extremely painful and often require a lengthy recovery. I don’t know their exact medical details, but it sounds to me that the burns they suffered are usually not fatal. Burns like what they reportedly have, though, usually require several weeks in the hospital and several months in physical therapy.

Travis Barker was injured/burned in a plane crash and required some not-so-glorious plastic surgery (skin grafting) afterward. Here we see a skin grafted area on his leg. He should really be keeping this out of the sun. Many plastic surgeons also recommend pressure garments with silicone inserts to minimize scarring. Skin grafts do not always look so great but work for large wounds where many other techniques don’t.
