But it also has a beautiful side, as it tells the true story of a young girl who, after years of coping with a deformed face, is finally beginning to step into the opening lines of a fairy tale, with the assistance of her pediatric plastic surgeon prince, John Polley, MD. This story is based on a true event.
Jessica Jaskowiak was born with Crouzon syndrome, a disorder that causes facial bone development to be stunted. As a result of this illness, she suffered from protruding eyes, poor hearing and speech, as well as difficulty in breathing and chewing.

“Jessica is going to have the biggest procedure we do in pediatric plastic surgery in terms of magnitude and extent of surgery,” says Dr. Polley. “If things go well, the rewards will be great. We’ll be able to really transform her.” (Chris Clark | Spectrum Health Beat)
