Phuong (Tumor Patient) After Surgery

Phuong after surgery
Originally uploaded by interplast.

This is Phuong (remember him?) immediately after surgery, still under anesthesia. Thanks to the doctors' courage and dedication, his face is immensely improved - he will actually be able to use his left eye again, which, though working, was enveloped by the tumor. What really moved us was the appreciation the local doctors and nurses expressed towards the Interplast team for giving Phuong, who had been denied so many times, a chance at a normal life.
