In November 2019, life changed forever for Ben Horne, a 34-year-old from Somerset, England. 💔🇬🇧
During a seizure, his loyal dog — frightened and confused — attacked him, leaving Ben with catastrophic facial injuries. 🐾😢💥
In an instant, he lost his nose, part of his mouth, and his chin — and with them, the face he once knew. 🪞💔

He was rushed to the hospital, where a team of surgeons fought for 10 hours to save his life. 🏥⚕️⏱️
What followed was a journey few could imagine — nearly five years, and around ten reconstructive surgeries. 🔧💉
Doctors took skin from his forearm and forehead, and bone and cartilage from his ribs and hip, rebuilding his face piece by piece, like restoring a masterpiece of survival. 🩹🦴💪

The process was long, painful, and relentless. But Ben’s strength never wavered. 🌿💫
He learned to face each mirror not with fear, but with gratitude — for every scar meant he was still here. 💞✨

Today, Ben calls the experience “incredible.”
Not because it was easy — but because it gave him back what truly mattered: his reflection, his confidence, and his life. 🙌❤️‍🩹

His story is a testament to what it means to rebuild — not just a face, but a soul. 🌈💖
Because even when the body is shattered, the human spirit can rise again — stronger, braver, and more beautiful than before. 🌟🕊️
