Changing faces: two years on.
Reconstructive plastic surgery and medicine have made great strides in recent years. Advances mean that scarring, evidence of injury, and various abnormalities can be reduced in conspicuousness and sometimes even removed, for example, the use of laser treatment for port wine stains. Contrary to the Hollywood myth, however, in which people involved in horrific accidents are restored to their former glory, plastic surgery is not a 'miracle cure'. Disfigurement is rarely temporary: most are left disfigured for life.
