It’s amazing this option has been available for over 100 years. Anna Coleman Ladd was a popular maker of these devices after WWI. She was an American sculptor, who created facial prosthetics like these for soldiers with devastating injuries. The materials have changed over the years, but other than that, the pieces (many of which are now in museums) and lifelike results are the same.

The people who show us their prosthetics for our education are very brave and I wish them much health and love!

My oldest siblings are twin sisters. They both developed PAD below the knees, and both had one leg amputated within 2 years of each other. The first twin (my sister), to have a leg amputated, did well during the surgery,..but later a blood clot formed and broke off,..leading to her lungs, and she passed away suddenly. My other sister (the other twin), was amputated as well and survived. She got a prosthetic leg,..and had a “tattoo” put on it, in memory of her twin. It’s amazing how these prosthetics can totally help in such an amazing way. I wish that we wouldn’t have lost our one sister, and we miss her so much. ❤️

It's heartbreaking to see what these people had to go through. Some of these skin cancers were likely due to UV exposure. As a retired nurse who used to work in plastic surgery and a transplant recipient, my chances of getting skin cancer are 65% higher than the general population. I've seen firsthand how the sun ravages the skin and deforms faces. It terrifies me. Yet people still happily sunbathe and go on sunbeds. Sunbeds are banned where I live but somehow people still get hold of them and constantly fry themselves. It's insanity.

It’s so great that the business of prosthetics can do such amazing things for people who have lost parts of their face. ❤️ love it! Thanks again!

This is an art! They look so real and I can imagine how much happiness they've brought to all those people.

This is amazing! Didn't know that this was an option. Skin cancer can be scary and not always have good outcomes.

Wow! The talent that is used is remarkable! What a difference they make for these people. So interesting

I enjoyed this video as much as when you did the one about WWI injuries successfully being treated with plastic surgery. Without that terrible war, none of this would have happened.

I'm very happy that technology has evolved to this. I couldn't even notice it in some cases!

Anna Coleman and Frances Derwent were artist and helped veterans with covering facial injuries with Facial prosthetics.

I am in awe of the people who make these prosthetics. I am in greater awe of the ones who wear them.

The work done on these people makes a huge difference. Bless those who do this sort of work.

This is amazing! Wow how life changing! These ppl must feel so much more confident❤

It's amazing what the human body can survive.

Just speechless !! What wonderful skilled people giving these brave patients their lives back. I cannot think of a more rewarding career ! God Bless them !!

This is wonderful . Essentially giving people their lives back.

These type of things have always fascinated me.

Amazing and wonderful! I am so happy the prosthetics are available for people who need them.

These are absolutely amazing! These are highly skilled people helping those who otherwise would have no place to go. Very well done!

2:50 Gives a whole new meaning to “Let me put on my face first . . .”

WOW! JUST INCREDIBLE! These makers of missing parts are artists in their own right. ❤❤❤

That would be bittersweet. To be given a 2nd chance, then find out you're going to be permanently disfigured.

Has anyone heard of the genie pig club from WW2, in fact it was the first plastic surgery. It's actually quite an inspirational documentary, seeing these soldiers with various disfigurements & burns, but they prefer it that way, they wear they're burns or scares like a badge of honor, and that's what's inspirational seriously. They could also be parts of history, the birth of plastic surgery. Because you'd find it pretty interesting, especially a channel like yours. But tbh it's more optimistic for me.

the before and after is incredible. their smiles in the after pictures is so beautiful 🖤🖤🖤

The artistry is incredible.

I love learning new things, thanks!

Oh my goodness. What an amazing work this is

Janey Mack that is amazing. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

Thanks for another great upload

I do wonder why they made the one guy's eye closed. Just the advancements in eyes is amazing. When I was a kid, if someone had a fake eye, you knew it. It was glass

Always love your videos The amazing things that can be done.one i always remember.a girl in her teens.at a party.someone messing w a gun. She got her face eyes blown off. So sad.docs made a face for her. Just beautiful. Shes lovely.went on to finish school.got married. Very brave woman

This is a good video. No more words needed

What incredible work! Outstanding!

Bless them all for being soo brave 😊❤️👏🏽

I'm really glad that they are available to people like that. It seems to make them feel so much better! ✌🏼💜🧚🏻‍♀️

Thanks! 😘

Beautiful work!!

Whoa. Amazing and humbling really.

Your videos are amazing

Incredible work!

my great grand uncle Fred lost his nose in 1918 from a sniper bullet. They made a new plastic one. Had it replaced 5 times until his death in 1990 ... Hooah Fred..

That’s great!

Good job

They can do amazing things, nice video.

Absolutely amazing and wonderful. Your face is very important because it is the first thing that people notice about you. This such an important way to give someone their confidence back.

Lol I didnt even know this existed! Thanks for the info!

Always remember...there's a line!

Great video

God Bless these people

Outstanding works of Functional Art Amazing to look at and glad that it’s available for those That may need it.

This video is certain to be a crowd-pleaser!

Good grief, One day they will make a complete hologram of ‘you’ who can go out and do your thing, while ‘you’ remain at home with your specs on watching it all happen.

yay!! thank u for the upload, luv your content.. you're awesome! 😊❤💞💃👍🙏

Amazing post,LL.

I'm a dental lab tech by trade and I'd love to branch out into this!

as cool as this video is it doesn't really seem depressing. the music kinda makes me feel sad for ppl getting their lives improved lol. maybe next time on topics like this choose more upbeat music unless this is what you use all the time in which case ig its fine

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

YOU'RE ALWAYS AWESOME BLOSSOM 🏵️🌼🌻💐🌷🍀🌺

yayy new videooo

They did amazing with the realism and prosthetics. Art is always useful in different ways, though, if I had the prosthetic eye, people would notice me winking every minute. I also would have to match my makeup with the prosthetic every time I go out I’m guessing. Other than that, most of it would go unnoticed most definitely.

The air isn't the only thing he's stuck his fist in.

This is an uplifting video fir a change

Wow!!! Excellent subject and excellent work... thank you Luth. Cheers Ausgranny 🤶🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍👍👍👍

Wear sunscreen, everyone!

I am gobsmacked. Absolutely brilliant

Damn girl u post some faces of death content, I like it!! Been binge watching and do enjoy yr digging deep for the bizzare.🤙💕

Very interesting.

Wow, that's amazing

These look so realistic! I'm happy people are more confident with there bodies cuz of this

Wow wow wow

Wow amazing xx

Watching this before I got to bed

The music is fantastic, what is it please?

This is Amazing

Supergood jobs, guys!❤❤❤❤❤🙏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

it's depressing, but this stuff happens in real life. sad we go from valuing beauty and equating that with status, to potentially losing it all and being helplessly self conscious.

Fantastic x

That's Amazing God Gives The Doctors The Gift Too Help Other's

Scary but awesome

Excelent work thanks a kiss 😍

You can't even tell these parts are artificial. I wish Michael Jackson could have had better results.

APSOLUTELY WONDERFUL....THE AMAZING TALENT OV THESE PEOPLE THAT PUT CONFIDENCE BACK ON PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN TO HELL AND BACK, ,,IS BREATHTAKING,,,,,SALUTE YOU ALL,,,,AUSTRALIA🇦🇺

People are amazing

I love your channel 😍

Yo these are amazing so realistic

Whatever happen to growing body parts on the backs of mice and rats.I remember seeing this in the mid 90s.

Wow!

Inspirational and a great artistic achievement. I just wish they hadn't put the scary music in the background because it kinda killed the happy vibe😅

Wow 😮

Are all of these prosthesis permanently attached? Looking at what these people had to overcome makes me realize how vain I am when combing my hair to cover a bald spot at age 70.

Woah !!

Oh, I misread the title. I put an extra L in there and thought this was going to be a whole different kind of video

Imagine you fighting one of these people and you slap them and all that shit falls off lmao how would you feel?

Wow💝👌

I love you 😍

Wow! Amazing what modern medicine can do. After watching no mercy in Mexico, I needed something a lot more tame so came out here. Thanks for the awesome upload 💕

With all these advanced medical procedures is awesome for the people . but yet they can’t help people with conditions like ms or cerbal palsy or other brain disorders like that . maybe some day that may happen for people like that .

Why such music?
