Plastic Surgeon Reconstructs Skull Of Patient Unable To Afford Procedure
Bakersfield, California plastic surgeon Dr. Vipul Dev has agreed to provide free reconstructive surgery to patient Larry Lyle after a 2008 motorcycle accident forced surgeons to remove part of his skull to treat acute brain swelling. Lyle, who was initially treated at Kern Medical Center, can not pay the $30,000 bill, but would like to have the cosmetic procedure to restore a more normal look.
