Nothing hurts more, than seeing our own personal unsung heros suffer, and nothing is better than seeing this man get help. I hope his confidence comes back.

Reminds me of the artist who helped the WW1 soldiers who suffered traumatic facial injury on the battlefield. Some of their facial prosthetics were a work of art.
This man can’t speak and you can still tell how nice he is! I wish him all the best
Facial reconstruction prosthetics, eye prosthetics (they use very red threads to emulate the red veins and the iris color job is amazing) should be considered one of the several forms of art, just like cinematography, painting, sculpting, etc. They are just applied into another subject, but they are real pieces of art. The detail, the realistic painting technique, the use of color, they define art.

@Ayethere M8 its curious cause, if u think about it from another perspective, prosthetics basically “give u back” ur lost expressions and allows u to give expressions, or give the ones u never had. Prosthetics also can be individually read according to ur own vision, just like a piece of art, they have different interpretations, from very realistic and accurate, to creepy, uncanny valley like. Just a little thought about it.
it's amazing how 3d printing literally changed life's so fast it awesome to see people feel normal after going through something horrific

He looks amazing ..... What a beautiful work of art this is. So life like.....prosthetics have come so far since the 1900s. I used to be so fascinated in ww1 prosthetics and how a group of artists dedicated themselves to give soldiers an identity again. .....and now look how soft, detailed and quick it can be done, using camera, computers and printers. At 5 years old ( 1974 ) , my hearing aid was rock solid, bulky and so uncomfortable. By 2010, they were soft , moulded better and more flexible. It was the end of pain...no more trying to file it down or cut off annoying bits, So I understand a little of how much relief Shirley must feel now. Thank you Shirkey and the team for making this happen , And setting the path, and leading the way for future prosthetics. This is life changing and gives so much confidence back to patients ...who will wear them with pride 💚💚💚💚💚 Absolutely amazing. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
So sad to hear he passed away, Rest easy darling.❤

Amazing! Watching this several years later so I can only imagine how much further they’ve come!

Love it. Good to see that smile. No one who's gone through cancer deserves to be deformed.
Wow, i am really lucky. I had reconstructive jaw surgery, i had two blood clots after my first surgery, had to get another one a year later. This could had been me. I'm thankful this man was able to get gis daily life back to somewhat normal. Much love for him and his family.
So happy for him as he looks happy I get very emotional watching things like this but had to watch how the scientists can do these prosthetics to help people like the gentleman in this film god bless him and his wife

Hi Julia! How’re you doing?
We’ve come so far. And it’s funny, 3D printing was just a thing for nerds and sculpture enthusiasts to play with at home, but now we’ll be able to make prosthetics, parts for bridges and machines etc. I could kind of see this be an alternative towards our plastic issue as well. Reusing our plastic to build stuff out of.
What an amazing story. Great work by a great team!
Radiation didnt work..... wow, poor guy, like millions of others! Now he can deal with being in public easier! And, they will develop something better, that works like a jaw.
