'My Beautiful Face': 9pm, Thurs 29th October 2009, Channel 4

A Mentorn Media Production, for Channel 4's flagship series 'Cutting Edge':
'My Beautiful Face' is a Mentorn Film Production which will be screened on Channel 4's 'Cutting Edge' series tomorrow night at 9pm. The programme is a 60-minute documentary detailing the last 18 months in the life of burns victim, Katie Piper.

















Katie, a successful model and TV presenter, was attacked last year with acid and was left horrendously burnt, scarred, unable to eat and blind in one eye. The attack, which saw the corrosive liquid burn through all 4 layers of Ms Piper's skin, was planned by her steroid-fueled, obsessed ex-boyfriend following their breakup.

I, Mohammad Jawad, became involved in the treatment of Katie from a very early stage and over the course of approximately 18 months have led a large series of surgical operations to reconstruct the severely damaged areas of her face and body. The techniques that I used have been commended as revolutionary within the field of burns reconstruction and I have been very pleased with the results achieved.

From a personal point of view, I am extremely proud to have been involved in the case of Katie Piper and am pleased to have formed a great bond with Katie and her family over the last year and a half. She is a very brave, inspirational young lady who has been through the most traumatic of ordeals.

Please take the time to view 'My Beautiful Face' on Channel 4 tomorrow night at 9pm to learn more about Katie's amazing story and the work that I have lead with the support of a great team at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London. Finally, I would like to thank the team at Mentorn Media and Channel 4 in making this documentary and allowing this emotional story to be heard.

Katie Piper / Mohammad Jawad: press coverage


















I would like to take the opportunity to thank the press for their interest and support in the 'Katie Price / Mohammad Jawad burns reconstruction' case. In the past weeks, we have received coverage on this story from the vast majority of national newspapers and also many publications throughout other territories. Thanks to this media exposure, we are able to tell the incredible story of Katie Piper following her vicious acid attack last year and inform the world of ground breaking surgical techniques which are gradually being pioneered to help the victims of severe burns.

Daily Mail: How Mohammad Jawad saved the face of Katie Piper, a TV presenter who was victim to a brutal acid attack

As published in the Daily Mail:
London-based Plastic Surgeon, Mohammad Jawad, has revealed how he used a pioneering technique to rebuild the face of a model and TV presenter who was attacked with acid. Mr Jawad, 51, was part of a team of eight doctors who treated 26-year-old Katie Piper. The six-hour operation was the first procedure of its kind in the world.

Ms Piper was left disfigured after her jealous ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch hired a man to maim her. The sulphuric acid he threw at Ms Piper stripped away four layers of skin in the worst case of acid burns her doctors had seen. Eighteen months later, she is making good progress thanks to the Chelsea and Westminster hospital's burns unit, which treats about 600 people a year.

In his first interview, Mr Jawad told of the emotional impact of seeing Ms Piper's injuries: 'It broke my heart when I saw Katie. She was so young and was there through no fault of her own.'

Daily Telegraph: How surgeons rebuilt the face of Katie Piper

Victoria Lambert of the Daily Telegraph writes: The chemical burns suffered by Katie Price in an attack from an ex-boyfriend were so savage that, as well as destroying her looks, they threatened her life and blinded her in one eye.

Katie has spoken widely about her ordeal, but her remarkable recovery, which is testament to a pioneering new procedure performed by Mr Mohammed Jawad, a reconstructive plastic surgery surgeon, at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London, has not been reported in detail before. It holds enormous potential for burns victims and could be a genuine alternative for potential face-transplant patients. Read the full story by visiting the Daily Telegraph's website - Click here

Channel 4: Press Screening

















Last monday evening (19th Oct, 2009) I had the pleasure of attending the private press screening of 'My Beautiful Face' - a Mentorn Media documentary which is due to be publicly aired on Channel 4 on the 29th of October. The evening was a great success and I thank Channel 4 for hosting the event in their studios on Horseferry Road, London.

'My Beautiful Face' documents the story of one of my patients, Katie Piper, who suffered a brutal acid attack last year, severely damaging her face and several regions of her body. Since the attack I have performed a series of very intense operations on Katie in order to reconstruct her damaged face and body using a variety of ground-breaking techniques and surgical procedures. As you can imagine, over the last 18 months have formed a close relationship with the Piper family and we have all been on the most meaningful of journeys together.

I was thoroughly impressed with the documentary and left the private screening feeling very content that the world would finally get to see how truly brave, courageous and inspirational Katie has been through her ordeal. Please share Katie's journey by tuning in to Channel 4 on October 29th at 9pm to view 'My Beautiful Face'.
