We return faces to victims of the war
Russia invaded Ukraine, causing a huge number of daily injures to all aspects of the population. Injuries to the face slow down psychological recovery in a way that people cannot recognize himself/herself in the mirror. The mission of the project “Ukrainian Face” to help people restore their faces and to recover psychologically from PTSD and other stressful conditions.
The face is the most visible part of any person, people look in to each other faces when they are communicating. Having visible deformities can lead to additional questions about the origin of them. The questions about changes of the face can act as triggers and constant reminders about the war causing adverse effect on people’s personality.
Men, women, children including the elderly whether they are soldiers or civilians, no matter what nationality or religion. Those who need the recovery to their face, who need plastic surgery to remove defects after trauma received in the war in Ukraine.
To return faces to Ukrainians who have been affected by war is becoming crucial for the future of these people. With no aesthetic recovery of the face the life of victims of the war is likely to have a psychological traumatic effect for the rest of their lives because the reminder of the war will be always with them…on their face.
Most of the people, after they have been injured in the war in Ukraine, underwent first stage of medical treatment in the critical front hospitals and their wound therapy was directed to life-saving goal but not for saving the appearance or beauty of the face. The next stages of the operations are considered as aesthetic treatment by the medical system in Ukraine and the costs for aesthetic face reconstruction are not covered by the government. At the same time asymmetry of the face, large scars, displacement to parts of the face etc are causing severe psychological posttraumatic disorders.
