A 22-year-old young man, plastic surgeons removed a huge tumor from his face, which turned him into a monster. It took 10 years to collect money for this unique operation.
For 10 years, a resident of Idaho, Lucas McCully, had been waiting for him to save enough money to pay for plastic surgery to remove a dangerous large tumor on his face. The young man suffers from congenital lymphangiomas, and this tumor was removed last Tuesday by plastic surgeons in New York.
The operation required more than $ 112,000, and now Lucas's mother assures that he is doing fine. He is gradually recovering his health and thanks the people who sent him money through the crowdfunding platform on the Internet.
The young man found plastic surgeons thanks to a special TV program, which told about the victims of such deformations. Doctors from New York, having examined the unfortunate Lucas, almost immediately agreed to help him and said that they would make every effort to do this.
On his page on the Internet, Lucas admitted that he had to undergo 24 operations to treat his tumor in the first 10 years of his life. The 25th in a row was supposed to be the most ambitious, and it was she who was destined to change his face, returning him to his normal appearance.
As Lucas's mother said, the guy's dreams came true. The results of the operation turned out to be even better than the relatives and doctors had hoped.
Lymphangiomas are congenital tumors that develop on the head and neck. They sometimes obstruct the passage of air and cause chronic pain. Tumors invade various parts of the lymphatic system, which are critical for immunity.
