Synopsis
SAVING FACE takes us into the world of the cranio-facial surgeon. These men and women are the carpenters and construction workers of the surgery world. For their patients, who suffer facial deformity, life can be cruel. Birth defects can cause not only a grotesque appearance, speech and eating can also be difficult, sometimes impossible. SAVING FACE shows how some of the world's leading cranio-facial surgeons give new faces and new lives to their patients.
