Abstract

Facial disfigurement is that abnormality of the face that tends to set the individual apart from other members of society. The sudden change in physical appearance, which often follows radical head and neck surgery, injury or burns to the face, can necessitate certain behaviour modifications. Eventually, the patient’s acceptance of himself is the result of his interactions with his environment. Relationships with hospital staff, family and friends, if supportive to a patient’s self-esteem, will help spur the patient on towards better adjustment and more efficient recovery and rehabilitation.
