title: Cosmetic rehabilitation.
abstract: Appearance is one of the most powerful factors influencing social interactions with others. What patients with disfigurements experience from society on a daily basis is a very real stigma. Cosmetic rehabilitation is a system of cosmetic techniques devised for patients to use to assist themselves to cope constructively with the psychological and physical trauma of their disfigurements.
