The Face Doctors’ new series features one man with a tooth infection gone horribly wrong.
In a brand new series of The Face Doctors, which airs on Really and is available to stream on Discovery+, Terry visits Addenbrooke’s Hospital after a tooth infection left him with a blunging eye. After his tooth was removed, the patient’s health took a turn for the worst as a flesh eating disease began to spread across his entire face.
The skin underneath Terry’s left eyeball quickly inflated and left him with a large fold of skin that stretched up to the top of his eyelid.

His condition got so bad that he was quickly taken to A&E where medical professionals took a closer look at the bulge, which began to turn purple. Surgeon Shadi Basyuni explained: “Tooth infections can be really dangerous because if it spreads into the eye socket he could lose his vision. In addition, he could be left with a significant disfigurement.”

While at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, Shadi attempts to remove the pus from Terry’s eye by cutting open the patient’s skin. He explained that the move was to “do the least amount possible to get as much infection out,” but “aesthetics were not the main priority”.

The doctor continued: “If it spreads into the eye socket he could lose an eye, if it spreads into his bloodstream he could get more generally unwell and we call that sepsis, which can be life threatening.” Shadi pulled back Terry’s eyelid before tests confirm that a disease is eating at his face.
He was quickly rushed to surgery where more medical professionals explained that if he was left any longer, Terry could have “rapidly gone into multi-organ failure” with “a high mortality rate”. On the operating table, surgeons remove pus and dead tissue as they quickly fight to save Terry’s face.

His incision is left unstitched and they check back in on him after eight weeks, after which he is completely unrecognisable. The Face Doctors crew revisit Terry as he celebrates his recovery with family and loved ones before stating: “All the people that saw me, all the team, even down into the operating theatre, there was a lot of people in there. They all did a fantastic job, I’m so grateful to them.”
Terry said the doctors “saved his life” and is feeling “lucky to be back to normal”.
