For half her life, Ms Swann, from Sheffield, 避けるd looking in mirrors because she was ‘too 撃退するd’ by her own reflection.

In total, she has had 16 操作／手術s for her 条件.

In 2007, the mother-of-two had an 操作／手術 at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, using muscle taken from her left thigh and put into her cheek.

The 操作／手術 was a success and she 回復するd 支配（する）／統制する and movement in her 直面する, 許すing her to smile again - and for two years she lived a ‘happy’ life.

But when an 感染 meant her 直面する would need to be operated on again, the 結果 left her 荒廃させるd.

外科医s at The 王室の Hallamshire Hospital 干渉するd with the muscle 持つ／拘留するing the sling to 訂正する her smile? - which 原因（となる）d it to disappear.

Ms Swann later discovered that her 操作／手術 公式文書，認めるs from 2007 were not requested from the hospital who had 訂正するd her smile and 回復するd her 信用／信任.

'What was hardest was that for two years I had finally been happy with the way I looked.

'I could go out with my friends and 現実に be happy and feel comfortable with my 直面する.

'After the 外科 I couldn’t 耐える to look at myself again and it was the lowest I had ever felt. The two hospitals that did the 操作／手術s just hadn’t communicated with each other at all.

'If they had read the 公式文書，認めるs sent over to them they would have known not to 除去する the muscle and my 直面する would still be 罰金.

'I’ve had 16 操作／手術s in total 含むing having a scar created to look like a laughing line on my 権利 手渡す 味方する. But I’m not having any more now - I’m done.'

Friends spotted her drooping 直面する at school after a PE lesson and a GP 確認するd she had Bell’s Palsy - a form of facial paralysis - but （人命などを）奪う，主張するd she should 回復する in two to three months.

But with no 調印する s of 改良, she was sent for MRI ざっと目を通すs which 結論するd she in fact had
cholesteatoma.?

And when she returned to school, she was いじめ（る）d by her classmates who teased her about her skewed 外見 and mocked her by 説 she looked like she’d had a 一打／打撃.

In the years that followed, she became a recluse who was too embarrassed to go out in 恐れる of seeing her reflection in shop windows.

People would tell her to ‘元気づける up’ and she took to covering her 直面する with her 手渡すs.

She 追加するd: 'I 設立する it really hard to 会合，会う new people, and would always angle my 直面する away from them so they could only see my left 味方する.

'I would never eat out at restaurants because I’m not able to chew my food 適切に because of the paralysis.

“The worst thing about it is when I’ve put it to the 支援する of my mind and don’t think about it.

'We can only imagine how 破滅的な this must be for her and her family and a 十分な review of 行方不明になる Swann’s care has been undertaken as a consequence, and we would like to 申し込む／申し出 our apolog ies for this.'?
