An American woman who suffered from epilepsy offers a happy smile beneath many layers of a gauze wrap that covers a large incision made in her head after an operation on her brain. Her hair was totally removed before the surgeon cut into her scalp and skull (cranium) to perform a temporal lobectomy, a surgery that can lower the number of seizures, make them less severe, or even stop them from happening. During this medical procedure, the doctor removed some of the temporal lobe of her brain where most seizures start. (3rd of 7 related images.) Model released.
