The University of Wisconsin has a surgeon that performs surgery for Perry Romberg patients. They add tissue to the area that has shrunk which fills out the face. This can also help relieve discomfort that is felt in the area of the atrophy. Keep being you! You have overcome so much in your lifetime.

Does it act the same as cosmetic filler? Sorry if this is dumb

Love that his twin is fiercely protective of him. 💙

This brought tears to my eyes. Although I do not have this exact condition, I am a 3 time survivor of head and neck cancer (5th child worldwide diagnosed with a rare cancer subtype in my infancy and young adult years). I do have facial deformities and stunted jaw/face growth on the radiated side and a speech impairment. I can relate to the self image issues, anxiety, kids and even adults staring and being mean. My energy went towards sports and academics. I am now a doctoral student doing research with head and neck cancer patients. Let's make the world a better place because of our rare condition and unique life experiences! Hang in there buddy! You are a smart, kind, and well spoken young man. You will go far in life!

[@AvaCarl99]

Both boys are so mature and well spoken! I was glad to hear his condition was self-limiting. Hope the surgery resolves the jaw pain.

[@bleh3247]

He is so articulate. confident and sweet. I love his spirit and his mum did a brilliant job.

[@dazeyday5699]

It’s kind of sweet how the unaffected twin sort of pulls his jaw down when he speaks, almost like mirroring his twin. Probably unconsciously learned that just by daily putting himself in his sibling’s shoes. That’s some brotherly solidarity!

[@sweeperboy]

No, you are not "normal", you are *EXCEPTIONAL* and don't you ever forget it, young man! Kudos to the mother to have raised two such intelligent, well-spoken and handsome boys.

[@kettanistar]

Very inspiring and great to have so much support. I hope there's an update after you've healed from your surgery. I also hope other procedures can be done to make both sides of your face look more similar and if not that's ok too! You already have a great smile!

[@abbieprice3430]

Born Different should do an update on Lukas after he recovers from his latest operation!

[@RoyalZProduction]

Appreciate you guys sharing Lucas’ story. I too was diagnosed with parry Rhomberg syndrome when I was a teenager. Awesome to see more awareness around this autoimmune disease

[@grkike]

Proud of you! Recently a young girl that I met here a girl who was only around 20 was in a car accident. People that have facial trauma or irregularities can be the modern medicine to every day people. So many people are critical of their appearance. I think it is beautiful that you are able to share your feelings and help others.

[@jazstar7681]

I hope the surgery goes well! 🌻

[@WildPinkThing]

To live with it has to be even harder when you have a twin and are always looking into "your" face without the changes. Not to become bitter and hateful shows that you have a pure heart and soul. I wish you all the best 💖

[@unicornmadness6286]

"When obviously I'm not normal" WHOA buddy, let's get one thing straight, you are normal and apparently smart, you were at the top of your class for four years straight. That's a magnificent accomplishment. I really hope you get that vocabulary out your mouth that you're not normal, that's insane to think such a thing. I understand why you would think that but it's not true. You're normal and you're informing the world of this syndrome and that's amazing.♥️

The main thing I noticed it about this young man is how lovely and charming he is, You can see how good looking he is and I hope the surgery gives him the confidence to achieve even more.

I was picked on by some kids in school, because I had something that couldn't be seen, but I was lucky enough like you are with your brother, but I had friends who defended me. You're a very handsome young man, and don't let anyone tell you any different. Your eyes are beautiful, because they show so much kindness, and compassion, and understanding. You've learned to be empathetic towards others, like I did, and you're very normal, extremely normal, and if I was a young girl, you'd be my first choice to ask to the prom, or out period, and I mean it, because I always, and still do, go for what's on the inside, and anyone would be lucky to have you as a friend.

[@maryjames5655]

My prayers are with you. My daughter's PRS manifested after chemo/radiation for breast cancer. It is presently active and progression seems to be slowing down. She is much older than you and struggles with the emotional side of this misunderstood condition. Once the autoimmune factor becomes treatable a host of other disorders will also become treatable and hopefully eliminated. I applaud your endeavors to bring awareness to this syndrome and stand with you in faith for restoration.

Hey Lukas! I suffer from a rare, incurable condition that affects all connective tissue in the body, called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. At 16, I needed to have a double mandibular osteotomy with titanium implants put in as well. Seeing your maturity, solid head on your shoulders, and that you're clearly a smart guy (and cute too), I bet everything is going to be A-OK. :) The support of family, friends, medical team, and your online fans, will help you get through it and heal. Even when you have your priorities straight, when you're a teenager, you can't help wondering what people will make of you, so I just wanted you to know I'm rooting for you, and to remind you that whatever happens with the surgery, you're already super just the way you are - the final product already, no alterations needed! Very best wishes for a successful surgery, with quick and complete healing, from Canada. :) God bless!

My living daughter has a very close relationship wit's relationship with her twin on the other side of the veil. She feels her presence and support especially in tough times of her life.
