Me & My Facial Disfigurement - 5STAR
Following three young people with facial disfigurements as they take on new challenges - getting tattooed, going to university, and performing at an open mic night
Three extraordinary women talk about living with a facial disfigurement. Yasmin, 25, (above) has a syndrome that affects the left side of her face.
Since she was seven Yasmin’s had many reconstructive surgeries and struggled with her self-confidence.
Raiche, 25, was trapped in a house fire when she was a baby.
She suffered burns to over 70 per cent of her body and has had more than 100 operations.
Finally, university student Chloe, 22, has a port wine stain that also affects her sight in one eye.
In a world obsessed with looks, it takes huge bravery to face the world when your face doesn’t look like anyone else’s.
