Change of Face Premieres This Sunday

This Sunday, MSNBC will air the first episode of a three-part series called Change of Face. The series follows three New York City surgeons whose jobs are to "perfect, save a reconstruct the human face, changing their patients' lives in their operating rooms."

The series tells the story of some amazing doctors and incredible families. You'll find profiles of frightened parents and brave children trying to figure out what's wrong and how to make it better. Hailey's story is a touching one:

One-year-old Hailey is your average adorable, smiley toddler, but when a circular purple bruise-like mark began to grow on the side of her forehead, it wasn't just the stares of strangers that proved devastating for her parents, it was their concern of what the mystery mark overtaking their daughter's face was. Under the care of Dr. Waner, Hailey and her family learned that what she was suffering from was a hemangioma--a benign tumor made up of extra blood vessels.

And you'll learn from the doctors who don't just work every day to find solutions, but who have dedicated their lives and even set up foundations to raise funds. Dr. Milton Waner draws from his personal experiences about being treated differently, and he doesn't just dedicate his life's work to making a difference--he also established a foundation to raise money because so many families can't afford the treatment they need.

Change of Face will cover elective and crucial surgeries. It looks at people making changes on the outside, but also feeling better on the inside. For many of the children, these doctors are performing true miracles. Tune in on Sunday, and please let us know what you think.
