The face of a burn

The first photograph above was taken on the day after Quinn was burned, and the second one three months later.

Quinn was lucky: a few more moments of fire, and he might have lost his eyelids, lips, ears, or nose. Although some of Quinn's burns were much worse, his face was mostly superficial second-degree burns.

Burns leave permanent scars!

In these two photographs, taken eight years later, you can see the raised scar left by the healed burn on Quinn's left cheek, and the pale scar where his left eyelid was grafted, as well as some of the scars from the many operations he had on the deep burns around his neck.

This is as good as it will ever get.

These scars are for life!
