Jessica Brett was born with a large mole that covers one side of his head. As was mainly his hair, he would not have been a problem if the mole was benign. However, the tissue was thought to be precancerous, and because of its location, it would have been useless if it had turned out to be malignant. The mole should be removed, but this would require a large skin graft. To avoid such a procedure, doctors have tried a strange but effective treatment.

The balloons were arranged along the part Jessica top of scalp; many people have taken to the rolls. You can see the mole on the side of the head.
Doctors inserted balloons under the scalp to stretch Jessica healthy skin (and hair follicles) covering the area where the mole was removed. This treatment was the first of its kind, with balloons inserted along the top of Jessica in a style that by far looked like a mohawk hairstyle. The balloons were inflated slowly over a period of six months, with more than a pint and a half of saline solution to stretch thoroughly his skin.

From the front, Jessica's hair looks a pompadour hairstyle.
as Jessica's mother, Becky, Jessica was unfazed by the proceedings, even if it has changed the shape of his head. "She was really brave & mdash; it was not his sentence, "said Becky Metro." She looked as if she rolls on the head, and people used to comment on how they liked his "hairstyle. "

After the initial procedure was completed, a fourth flask was placed on the side of his head. This was to provide the skin to replace the additional bit of the mole that reached past her natural hairline and on his face.
Finally, after more than six months, the balloons have been drained and the mole was removed safely. Healthy skin was then grafted on, and the head of Jessica was once again smooth. Her hair is always clipped, but she does not mind. She took inspiration from singer Jessie J, who recently cropped her hair for charity. We think Jessica looks great with short hair, anyway.

Today, the mole is completely gone and Jessica has to worry about health complications, it may have caused. Perhaps the most amazing part is resolutely positive attitude of Jessica through it. "Jessica and her parents were exemplary with ... how they have complied with all instructions and kept smiling throughout this difficult time," said a spokesman of the Leicester Royal Infirmary.
