Roger Ebert Writes About New Facial Prosthesis on Blog
If you’ve been following the story of famed movie critic Roger Ebert, you know about his illness and the disfiguring changes that occurred in his face. “After surgery, I studiously avoided looking at myself in a mirror†he writes in a recent blog post.
But things may be getting better for the famous critic. In the same post, he describes a facial reconstruction procedure that was carried out by Dr. David J. Reisberg of Chicago.
The doctor created a facial prosthesis that fits over Ebert’s neck and chin. With matching skin color and soft silicone construction, the device helps restore a natural facial appearance.
“Symbolically, it’s as if my illness never happened and, hey, here I still am, on the show with these new kids,†he writes.
