Top 4 Reconstructive & Burn Surgery Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Reconstructive and burn surgery is part of plastic surgery. It aims to restore the function and appearance of parts of the body affected by injury, burns, surgery, cancer treatment or conditions present from birth. Typical reasons people see a reconstructive surgeon include:

• Burns that are deep, large or slow to heal, and the scars or tight skin (contractures) that can follow them
• Raised, thick, painful or itchy scars, or scars that limit movement near a joint, the neck, the hands or the face
• Hand injuries and conditions affecting grip, movement or sensation
• Reconstruction after tumour removal, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy, or eyelid and facial reconstruction
• Congenital differences such as cleft lip and palate or prominent ears
• Wounds that have not healed after several weeks

It is worth booking a planned visit if a healed burn or scar is tightening, a scar is getting worse rather than settling, a wound keeps breaking down, or you are planning cancer surgery and want to understand reconstruction options early.

Burns: first aid and urgent warning signs

For a fresh burn, mainstream first-aid guidance is to stop the burning, remove jewellery and loose clothing that is not stuck to the skin, and cool the burn under cool running water for about 20 minutes. Do not use ice, butter, toothpaste or other home remedies. Afterwards, cover the burn loosely with cling film or a clean, non-fluffy dressing.

Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if:

• The burn is large, deep, white, leathery or charred, or painless in the centre
• It involves the face, eyes, hands, feet, genitals or a major joint, or goes all the way round a limb
• It is a chemical or electrical burn
• There is smoke inhalation, coughing, hoarseness or difficulty breathing
• The person is a baby, young child, older adult, pregnant, or has diabetes or another serious illness
• There are signs of infection, such as spreading redness, fever, increasing pain or pus

A clinic consultation is not a substitute for emergency care in these situations.

How to choose among the doctors here

All five surgeons list reconstructive and burn surgery among their sub-specialties, but their published services differ. Start from your actual problem:

Next, read the training on each profile and ask how often the surgeon treats cases like yours. Reconstruction often takes more than one stage, so ask about the overall plan. Check whether surgery would happen in a hospital and which one. Also consider practical factors: clinic area, opening hours that fit around work or school, and the language you are most comfortable in.

Remember that the order on this page reflects profile completeness only. It does not tell you who is right for your case.

What to expect at the first visit

A first reconstructive consultation is usually an assessment and a discussion, not treatment on the day. The surgeon will typically ask how the injury or condition happened, how it has healed and what it stops you doing. They will examine the area and may photograph it for your records. They may suggest non-surgical options such as scar care, pressure garments, splints or physiotherapy before or instead of surgery.

What to bring

• Your ID and any insurance card
• A list of your current medicines, allergies and medical conditions
• Reports from previous operations, burn care or cancer treatment, and any imaging
• Photos showing how a burn or wound looked over time, if you have them
• A relative or friend, if you would like support or help remembering details

Questions worth asking

• What are the realistic aims: better movement, comfort, appearance, or all three?
• How many stages might be needed, and over what time frame?
• What are the risks, and what does recovery involve for work, school or daily tasks?
• What should I do now to help the scar or wound while I decide?
• Who do I contact if a problem appears after the procedure?

No reputable surgeon can guarantee a result. Be cautious of any promise that a scar will disappear completely.

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Call the clinic before you book and ask:

• What the consultation fee is and whether follow-up visits are charged separately
• Whether they accept your insurer, and whether reconstructive surgery needs pre-approval
• Whether the treatment counts as reconstructive or cosmetic for insurance purposes, since cover often differs
• Where any operation would take place, and whether hospital, anaesthesia and dressing costs are quoted separately
• Whether you need a referral letter, particularly for appointments within a large centre such as King Hussein Cancer Center

Some practices arrange consultations in advance, so book early if your timing matters, for example before planned cancer surgery.

Getting there

Check the exact address and map location on each profile before you set off. If you are coming from Khalda, Dabouq, Sweifieh, Tla' Al-Ali or the Gardens, allow extra time for parking at busy medical buildings. For any burn emergency, do not travel to a clinic. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department, for example at Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital or King Hussein Medical Center.

Checklist before you book

• Confirm the surgeon's published services match your problem (burns, scars, hands, cleft, or post-cancer reconstruction)
• Read the training listed on the profile
• Check the confirmed hours and clinic location
• Ask about the consultation fee and insurance acceptance by phone
• Gather previous reports, imaging and photos of the injury
• Write down your medicines and allergies
• Prepare your questions about stages, risks and recovery
• For a fresh or severe burn, skip booking and call 911
