Karan Shah, a 65-year-old retired school...
Karan Shah, a 65-year-old retired school principal, had a slow-growing, non-malignant tumor removed from his left cheek five years prior. The lifesaving surgery left a deep, sunken defect, causing his face to collapse inward. He felt disfigured and was often asked if he was ill or tired, which eroded his cheerful demeanor. His oncologist referred him for reconstructive evaluation. The plastic surgeon recommended a facial recontouring procedure using a custom-designed MEDPOR implant combined with a fat graft to fill the volume loss and create a smooth, natural transition. Karan was anxious but hopeful. The procedure was straightforward, and recovery was smoother than expected, with minor bruising. The outcome successfully restored facial symmetry and volume, erasing the 'sickly' appearance. Emotionally, Karan transitioned from feeling marked by his past illness and visibly vulnerable to feeling whole again. He regained his sociable spirit, no longer defined by the remnants of his cure.
