Treatment and Other Issues

Since our inception in 1985, AboutFace has published hundreds of articles relating to issues about treatment ideas, options and experiences. We believe that sharing our personal experience about a particular condition or treatment is extremely valuable for others. It is a cornerstone of our foundation: peer to peer connections. This section is dedicated to providing stories and ideas about treatments and overall living with a facial difference.

AboutFace relies on the expertise of professionals to write its medically related materials and does not endorse or promote any doctor, treatment plan, or medical center. Our goal is to provide information and personal experiences for personal use only and should not be regarded as medical advice. We encourage you to share all treatment articles and stories that you find on this and other websites with your health care professional for a more accurate and complete discussion.
