Before and after images of a 25-year-old woman who survived a catastrophic car accident.
The car crash left her face and skull shattered in a way surgeons described as "nearly incompatible with life". It was so bad that one eye had to be removed.
The 8-hour surgery required different doctors from different specialties for reconstruction, using plates, screws and mesh to reassemble her face.
Despite the complexity of the injury and difficult recovery period, she regained her facial appearance, began walking again and remained neurologically intact.
