Doctors reconstruct face of woman disfigured by cancer treatments
June 24, 2014 22:16
A woman left disfigured by radiation treatments for a cancer she never had is undergoing reconstructive surgery in hopes of restoring her life, FoxNews reports.
Lessya Kotelevskaya could be in surgery up to 24 hours at University of Louisville Hospital.
The surgery on the 30-year-old woman began Monday. The surgical team is led by Dr. Jarrod Little, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon with UofL Physicians. The doctor is donating his time.
Kotelevskaya was misdiagnosed about a decade ago in Kazakhstan, a former Soviet republic. Her face was disfigured by radiation treatments, causing a hole in her cheek and making it difficult to eat and talk. She lost her husband, business and home.
