Bidh sinn a’ leantainn an sgioba ioma-sgileil seo agus iad a’ dèanamh obair-lannsa air leanabh nach eil ach 11-mìosan-deug a dh’aois a dh’fheumas a claiginn a bhith air ath-thogail gus rùm a thoirt dhan eanchainn aice fàs.

With unprecedented access to the Australian Craniofacial Unit in Adelaide and following some of most delicate and specialised surgery in the world, this is an intimate look at what lies behind the face and skull, and the surgeons trusted to make it whole again.

We join this multidisciplinary team as they perform life changing surgeries on an 11-month-old baby who needs to have her skull remodelled to make room for her growing brain, a teenager hoping for a final fix for her cleft palate, and a young man whose facial difference is affecting his ability to see, speak and smell. Plus a look at the unique role the unit has in managing the ongoing non-surgical treatment of patients with genetic syndromes.
