As part of the [Daily Mail's] Inspirational Women Awards, acid attack survivor Katie Piper reveals how after three years and 112 operations she's come to terms with her appearance...
On a March day in 2008, 24-year-old Katie Piper opened the door of her London flat, and stepped out on to the busy street. The horrifying attack that followed would change her life forever. Her spurned ex-boyfriend, marital arts expert Daniel Lynch, now 35, had arranged for Stefan Sylvestre, now 22, to throw acid in her face.
Half-blinded, her beautiful features almost totally destroyed, it would have been easy for the bubbly model and TV presenter, now 28, to retreat from the world.
