This is a person with a face graft that is mature, about two years after the injury. The skin graft is done healing. The skin is mature when it is soft, flat and light in color. Some burn centers recommend using a fabric face mask. The fabric masks are made from the same tight elastic fabric as compression garments.
The masks are made out of neoprene, an industrial latex compound that cures to a slightly flexible state. The mask holds its form like a leather mask and is equivalent in weight. The advantage to a neoprene mask is that it is an affordable way of achieving an incredibly durable and professional product.
