Some patients go home after surgery and hide in the back room with the light off.
We teach students to give patients a little of what they ve lost their self-esteem. These technologists first make an impression of the area the patient has lost due to cancer, surgery or an accident. Similar to creating Hollywood-style effects, the impression is then poured into a mold. Next, the defect area is sculpted with wax or clay to smooth out any imperfection and approximate, as closely as possible, the patient s features. Once the flaws are corrected, a mold is made and a silicone substance is added to form a nose, cheek, ear or the entire central part of the patient s face.
