Face to Face helps domestic violence survivors pick up the pieces.


n any case, domestic violence is a terrible thing to have to go through but when the abuse leaves a woman scarred -- just looking in the mirror becomes impossible. These courageous survivors have to work hard to reconstruct their lives but some are so badly beaten, even their faces don't look the same.

The wonderful folks at American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS) offer the program "Face to Face" -- which is helping these survivors reconstruct their faces, as well as their lives. The not-for-profit program offers complimentary consultations, surgery, counseling and support to those who have been beaten so badly -- they are unrecognizable.

Domestic violence is a terrible thing, but we applaud the efforts of this noble organization. If you or a loved one is going through something like this, please visit facetofacesurgery.org for more information or call 800-842-4546.
