When Alyssa McDonald was only 2 years old she poured a vat of boiling oil over her face, which left her with disfiguring third degree burns over most of her face.
She underwent hundreds of surgeries to correct her face but decided to put the surgeries to a halt when she was 16 years old claiming that she wants to wear her “scars like diamonds”

Today she wishes to teach the same attitude to others who suffered similar injuries 2-year-old Alyssa McDonald suffered horrifying burns when she accidently poured a vat of hot oil over her head, burning about 70% of her face off, leaving only a melted mess behind. The girl slipped into a coma and her parents were afraid that she would die.

However she soldiered through the injury and underwent more than a hundred surgeries to give her at least a resemblance of a face. Despite all these, the young lady bounced back to life and gave living the best shot she could. She was tired of all the surgeries she had been through and decided to let her face be.  
Today she is 25 years old and recalls the moment her life changed: “Me being a curious child, I climbed up to have a look and accidentally pulled the pot of hot butter down onto myself.” “The butter fell directly onto my face, it missed my head but covered my face, I was burned very badly,” Alyssa said.
