'I was forced to put half my face in the bin after freak accident abroad – even doctors were too scared to touch me'
“The doctors couldn’t even do much for me, because it was such a fresh injury and they needed to wait for the swelling to go down and everything to settle.”Her face developed tumours, and she's spent the last five years in and out of hospitalWhen Sophie got home, she was misdiagnosed with a hypertrophic scar at the first hospital she went to, meaning the skin was slightly raised but wouldn’t grow.
She says: “I feel like the universe brought us together. They say that surgeons are angels sent from above, and I really feel like she was my angel sent from above that was meant for me, the surgeon that was meant for me.”She continues: “And then, within the space of a few weeks, I went to see her again, and this scar just overtook my face.”Credit: Instagram/@sophirelee
While Sophie was initially thought she would have to live with her tumours, unexpected help came in the form of a pioneering surgeon from Israel, Dr Nimrod, who agreed to carry out cryosurgery.“It’s like freezing off a big wart, except on a much bigger scale,” she says. Sophie chose to have the surgery at St Helens with Dr Charlotte; the first round lasting around five and a half hours.“She was like, ‘Don't worry. We're going to sort your face out. Just think it's like having a nice facial. You're going to be fine. It's all good.’”“It was really traumatic for me,” Sophie says. “It put me into a big state of depression, not knowing where I was, what was going to happen.
Sophie had to wait another six to eight months before she could be reassessed - and unfortunately found there were still parts of the tumour left.
