Overview

Brief Summary

The investigators hope to learn if taking a nutrition drink for a short time after surgery for an elective reconstructive burn injury improves donor site healing, muscle mass and scar maturation time (the point at which the redness, height and firmness of the wound has faded, flattened and softened, and no longer changes in appearance).
