Reconstructing a Human Face Thanks to 3D Printed Models

A young Canadian man who experienced a serious trauma to one side of his face four or five years ago persisted in trying to find a solution to end the pain he was in as well as repairing the disfigurement caused after his cheekbone and eye floor were crushed. In discussing his case with skilled and experienced surgeon, Dr. Daniel Borsuk, Alex pleaded for help.
