This is a full-life journey for these patients, i'm still learning from patients about what their life experience is and how it changes. Being born with a facial difference becomes a life journey that has a lot to do with acceptance. I've learned with patients who are burn survivors -- not victims, survivors -- initially their relationship with the prosthesis changes, too, throughout their lives ... What I try to tell them is, they've been through a lot already, it will also take adapting to the new way they look.
