A man's face is just like new following a motorcycle accident in 2012 thanks to the ever-evolving 3-D printing concept.
Stephen Power endured various injuries that left him in the hospital for four months BBC News reported Thursday.
"I broke both cheekbones, top jaw, my nose and fractured my skull," Power told BBC News.
"I can't remember the accident -- I remember five minutes before and then waking up in the hospital a few months later," Power told BBC News.
Doctors from the Center for Applied Reconstructive Technologies in Surgery corrected Power's facial appearance by way of guides, plates, and implants different than the way standard 3-D printing corrective procedures are done several months after the accident BBC News reported.
"Without this advanced technology, it's freehand. You have to guess where everything goes. The technology allows us to be far more precise and get a better result for the patient," Adrian Sugar, a consultant maxillofacial surgeon said in a media release BBC News reported.
"Also, the more experience we get the cheaper we can do it as well. That's a key because one of our aims is to make this something that is not just available to us with our expertise, but to any surgeon who finds themselves with this kind of problem," Sugar said in a statement BBC News reported.
Power is ready to a normal life after donning a cap and glasses to cover up his disfigurements prior to the eight hour surgery BBC News reported.
"I'm hoping I won't have to disguise myself. I won't have to hide away. I won't have to hide my face away and my confidence will be back. I'll be able to do everyday things -- go and see people, walk in the streets, just go to any public areas," Powers told BBC News.
