A Pakistani woman has been left horrifically scarred after a jealous friend who did not want her to become an air hostess targeted her in an acid attack.Kanwal Qayyum, 29, was horrifically injured after being doused with sulphuric acid while she slept a bitter former pal who hated the idea of her bettering herself.She lost her nose in the attack and surgeons have spent the past decade painstakingly rebuilding her features.Kanwal has has now shared pictures of her remarkable facial reconstruction after medics completely rebuilt her nose using tissue from her thigh.



The photographs show the extraordinary transformation in Kanwal’s appearance since the attack ten years ago as surgeons have rebuilt her face and created a new nose for her. One of the team helping her has been hair transplant surgeon Asim Shahmalak, from Manchester, who travelled to Karachi to create two new eyebrows and new eyelashes in the left eyelid for Kanwal from hair taken from the back of her scalp.


Dr Shahmalak, best known for his work with celebrity hair transplant patients like Calum Best at Crown Clinic close to Manchester Airport, was reunited with Kanwal on a trip to Karachi last week where she proudly showed off her new eyebrows and eyelashes which have grown back following his reconstruction work two years ago.
