About This Episode
What happens when reconstructive surgery can’t fully restore an area affected by a burn injury, or when a survivor simply wants to understand what other options may exist?
In Episode 15 of the All About Burns Podcast, host Corey Halstead sits down with Sara Moslehi, Clinical Anaplastologist and Ocularist and founder of Art in Soul Prosthetics, for an important conversation about prosthetic rehabilitation and its role in burn recovery.
Sara has more than 18 years of experience creating highly customized facial, ocular, finger, toe, and other prostheses for people affected by burns, trauma, cancer, surgery, and congenital conditions.
In this episode, Corey and Sara explore what anaplastology is, the different types of prostheses available, how prosthetic rehabilitation can work alongside reconstructive surgery, and how individualized prostheses can help some people regain confidence and feel more like themselves.
They also discuss the emotional side of changes in appearance, realistic expectations, advances in silicone materials, digital scanning and 3D technology, and why the decision to pursue a prosthesis should always belong to the individual.
One of the most important messages from this conversation is simple: survivors deserve to know they have choices. Prosthetic rehabilitation isn't about hiding scars or replacing reconstructive surgery. It is another potential option within the larger journey of recovery.
