Synopsis
Anaplastologist Allison Vest opens the doors to her practice and shares the cases of patients who have missing anatomy due to trauma, cancer or congenital conditions, but have been given a second chance through amazing, realistic prosthetics. Her prosthetics often go undetected thanks to the skillful combination of skin color correction, hair placement, and even delicately painted veins. However, for her patients, there is nothing discreet about the impact these parts have, from a woman who lost her hands after an extreme case of pneumonia to a boy missing both ears after a dog attack. Allison's workshop is a world of wonder, hope, healing and strength.
