Patients of Courage Share Strength Following Plastic Surgery

A former police officer injured in the line of duty, a teenage girl with a craniofacial anomaly, a breast reconstruction patient, and a man injured by a drunk driver are being named honorees of the Patients of Courage: Triumph Over Adversity awards by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) at Plastic Surgery 2010 in the Metro Toronto Convention Center on October 3. These unselfish individuals endured numerous reconstructive plastic surgeries and use their experiences, strength and determination to help others in need.
