In these plastic surgery testimonials, you will hear from:

  • Matthew Warmerdam of Atlanta, who suffered severe burns over 55 percent of his body when the commercial jet that he was co-piloting crashed
  • Caitlin Sarubbi, of Brooklyn, who was born with an extremely rare congenital syndrome known as ablepharon-macrostomia where she was born without eyelids and absence of body hair
  • Mabel Wong, of San Francisco, who was attacked by 5 pit bulls for over thirty minutes and sustained such extensive injuries as the loss of her entire scalp, both ears, soft tissue of her face, and muscles and tendons in both arms
  • Kristy Adams-Ebel, of Charlotte, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 33

Because all of these reconstructive plastic surgery patients triumphed over their physical trauma and have given back to their community, they were all honored as ASPS Patients of Courage. Learn more about reconstructive procedures.
