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.

Finally, university student Chloe, 22, has a port wine stain that also affects her sight in one eye.
