He NT mogs
A man born with a rare condition that left his mouth completely deformed was forced to choose between his voice and his face, since he was told the only way to fix his appearance would see him possibly losing the ability to ever speak again.
Zackery Brown, 28, from Tennessee, has cystic hygroma - a birth defect that appears as a sac-like structure usually located on the head and neck.
This meant he was born with a cyst on his tongue and jaw, which makes it hard for him to speak and makes his face appear super swollen and round.
He can get the tumor surgically removed if he wants to fix his appearance - however, it has potential to make him lose his tongue completely - and his voice.
'I considered having surgery, I went mainly for the voice. I sat down in the doctors office and I told him, I said, "If you can give me a choice between cosmetic looks or the voice, I would choose the voice,"' he told Truly recently. 'I don't care about cosmetics so much as I did the voice.
'I went thinking that it could make my voice better but they told me it would make it worse. I had to choose between my face, and keeping my voice.
'[The doctors] were like, "We hate to tell you this but if we operate on the tongue it's going to make your voice worse. You're going to have scar tissue."
'They said, "Cosmetic wise, if we operate on the jaw, it can force your tongue back more so that would hinder your voice more."
'And I said, "No, I'm good." So I didn't pursue that anymore. I decided to... be happy with how I am.'
