A team from the Head and Neck Institute led
by Dr. Moni Abraham Kuriakose and Dr. Subramanya Iyer performed
four surgeries. They filled the hollow of her face, outlined
her eyebrow and attached a fibre to the corner of her mouth
to make her smile symmetrical. The highlight of the procedure
was the reconstruction of the eye, complete with new upper and
lower eyelids and eyelashes. The man behind Yan's new pair of
eyes was Dr. Jijo Paul. "We had to redo the creation of eye-socket
procedure a couple of times to get back to a normal shape,"
said Dr. Mony Abraham Kuriakose. |

Peter, Dr. Mohit Sharma and Dr. Sasidharan were also part
of the medical team from the Head and Neck Institute.
During her six months stay in Cochin, AIMS provided Ellen
and her mother with lodging facilities. Ellen is now free
of tumour as well as the stigma associated with facial
disfigurement. Yan Zhen, who once aspired to be a model,
hopes to get her former job in a hotel. She should; the
winner that she is - against the odds. |
