Reply to comment by hopper75 in Jay Leno looks great considering he had third degree burns all over his face by hopper75
Here's a press appearance by his doctor while he was being treated.

interesting that the doc mentions that it was mostly 2nd degree but some portions were 3rd degree but leno just refers to them as 3rd degree.
this isn't super important but does explain why Leno doesn't look turbo busted compared to other severe burn victims.

He needed two separate surgeries and could have had his pick of reconstructive surgeons. The important functional parts of his face were spared, but he needed some skin grafts and reconstruction. So he looks considerably better than the scarring he would have if he had received more basic treatment just to prevent infection. Whatever the level of burn, it was a serious injury that he was lucky wasn't much worse.

So the vast majority were "deep second-degree burns" and the doctors weren't sure there were any third-degree burns.
