Saving Faces is a small charity that works to improve treatment for people
who suffer with facial disfigurement, injury and disease.
We research better treatment for and prevention of mouth cancer:

It’s the most disfiguring cancer and affects patients’ ability
to speak and eat

125,000 young people sustain serious facial injuries every year
in the UK
We research better
psychological support for patients with facial disfigurement:
15,000 people in the UK seek treatment for facial disfigurement
every year.
The surgeons who are taking part in our research are working
hard to improve the treatment of all patients with mouth cancer and other
disfiguring facial injuries and diseases. They give their time pro bono
but Saving
Faces makes this research possible by providing researchers to
collect outcome data about differing treatment protocols and
research. Saving Faces also funds psychology researchers and trains
surgeons in research. It provides patient-to-patient support through its expert
patient ‘phone line.
