Scar as Structural Variable
FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLE
In catastrophic reconstruction, scar is biomechanical.
Contracture may impair:
- Joint excursion
- Tendon mechanics
- Rehabilitation trajectory
- Long-term durability
Modulation preserves reconstructive integrity.
Cosmetic services are excluded.
Institutional Structure
The Laser Scar Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) entity deployed for scar modulation within defined reconstructive plans.
The Foundation operates within a Level I trauma system.
Professional billing and institutional charges remain unchanged.
Medical-legal, lien, and liability processes remain separate.
Administrative Separation
Foundation activity is independent of medical-legal consultation, contingent billing, liability adjudication, and standard reimbursement processes.
Foundation involvement establishes no precedent.
Institutional Context
Plastic Surgery Trauma Associates provides tertiary extremity salvage, burn reconstruction, and structural restoration within a Level I trauma environment.
