Dr. Peter Grossman of the Grossman Burn Center in West Hills says Leno has undergone one surgery so far to treat burns he suffered in a fire at his Burbank vintage-car garage over the weekend.
Comedian Jay Leno should make a full recovery from the burn injuries he suffered to his hands, face and chest in a fire that erupted, his doctor said today, although his recovery may not happen as quickly as the former “Tonight Show” host originally thought.
Leno was injured over the weekend when a gasoline fire erupted at his Burbank vintage-car garage. Grossman said Leno was underneath a car when the fire began, and he suffered “pretty significant burns to his face and hands.” He has also been undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy designed to stimulate oxygen circulation in the blood stream to hasten the healing process. Grossman described the burns as “deep second-degree burns, and possibly some third-degree burns,” noting that their severity can change over time.
