Patients and staff at Addenbrooke's Hospital feature on TV's The Face Doctors, which airs on Really and discovery+.
The eight-episode TV series highlights the work of Addenbrooke's surgeons who undertake life-changing treatment of conditions affecting the face, head and neck.
In the latest episode, which airs at 9pm on Wednesday, May 29, cyclist Dean will be treated for a shattered jaw following a nasty accident.
Consultant oral, maxio-facial and facial plastic surgeon Mr Vijay Santhanam has his work cut out making sense of Dean’s various broken bones, while colleague Mr Nigel Webster is also under pressure.
Nigel, a skilled maxillofacial prosthetist, must help 21-year-old Kamil, who is missing half his nose and worries that his appearance makes others uncomfortable.
Also in the spotlight is consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Mr Charles Loh, who has the tricky task of removing some large lumps on a patient's head.

Meanwhile eye/oculoplastic consultant surgeon, Mr Simon Woodruff, has a special plan to help patient Kate.
Following nerve damage, she needs delicate treatment to help her close her eyes at last.
Medical director, Dr Ashley Shaw, said: "As we progress through this series, it really does expose the huge variety of challenges faced by patients, and the compassion and ingenuity of those trying to help them.
"It also casts a light on just how many different kinds of jobs – clinical and non-clinical - there are at Addenbrooke’s.
"All this comes at a time when we are actively recruiting more staff in a wide variety of fields, and continually striving to retain and grow our own talent."
The Face Doctors follow the journeys of patients whose lives have been changed as a result of flesh-eating infections, challenging genetic conditions, and life-changing traumas.

A description of the show reads: "It is not just about fixing broken bodies, but restoring identities, mending confidence, and helping patients and families rebuild their lives.
"There are touching moments as patients see their new reflections, and as families share their joy."
The show is produced by Dragonfly TV, the same company that shot six series of Surgeons: At the Edge of Life on BBC Two.
