Ilianexy Morales is woman who has had her face restored after suffering an attack that left her with scars all over her body. She was in her 20s when she got almost killed by a jealous ex-boyfriend in 2005. She was stabbed more than 100 times and had to undergo more than 17 surgeries to have her face and smile restored.
Morales met the 38-year-old man who would become her attacker in 2002. They began a relationship and she gave up her job to stay at home and look after her four-year-old daughter and her ill mother after the man told her he would support her. But the man became more obsessive and jealous so in 2005 Morales told him the relationship was over, reports The Daily Mail.
Enraged by Morales’ decision, the man went over to her house one last time, pulled a knife from his sock and attacked her. “He started attacking me immediately and didn’t even give me time to react,” she said. Morales was stabbed a “dozen of times” and forced to undergo plastic surgeries.
The surgeries were carried out by Face to Face, a charitable organization. Doctors used ‘flap surgery’ to cover the woman’s scars. It’s a technique which takes skin from other parts of the body to cover a patient’s scars. The man was arrested and is now serving a 15-year prison sentence.
