Happy to Have His Face Back

By Ali Naseer

Faraz Anwer is a 26 year old student, living in Manzoor Colony, Karachi, who also works at an advertising agency.

Four  months ago in an unfortunate accident, Faraz almost lost half his face. Driving home one night, a stray dog dashed across his headlights, and, swerving to avoid the collision, Mr. Anwer flipped his car over the footpath, sending man and car into a vicious tumble. As his car spiraled above the sidewalk, Mr. Anwer was flung from his seat and sent careening to the concrete with a sickening scratch. All he had to show for saving the dog was a mangled right cheek and bludgeoned eye, raked against the pavement.

Faraz lay on the unforgiving road for several minutes before help arrived to take him to the nearest hospital, where he received first aid and a CT scan. After this hospital’s surgery attempt led to an infection, his family brought him to The Indus Hospital, where he received skin grafting and facial reconstruction treatments. After two successful surgeries, the good looking young man is finally on his way to recovery and cannot wait to have his face back!
