Model who lost 95% of Her Jaw to Cancer Strips for stunning Photoshoot With Son

A model who lost 95% of her jaw to bone cancer, Elizaveta Bulokhova, from Ontario, Canada, has posed for her first photoshoot since her life-changing diagnosis and surgery.

She was only 24-years-old and pregnant with her son, Valentin in October when she learned she had osteosarcoma in her jawbone. After an excruciating 16-hour surgery to remove the tumor and the surrounding area, followed by reconstruction, the model was told to terminate her pregnancy before undergoing chemotherapy.

 

The model pictured with her son, was told that she would have to terminate the pregnancy.
 

However, her wounds were slow to heal, causing delays in her chemo schedule and miraculously allowing her to give birth to her son 10 weeks early.

 

The 25-year-old, who worked as a fashion model for 7 years, was joined by seven-month-old son, Valentin when she stepped in front of Toronto-based photographer, Manolo Ceron's camera lens for a series of stunning photos highlighting Elizaveta's scars - and her strength.

 

The powerful images, which are meant to invoke hope, show Elizaveta, who lost her hair during chemotherapy, posing with nothing but colorful make-up on her face, created by make-up artist Julia Stone.

 

Elizaveta said the photoshoot helped her to remember what her livf was like before she was diagnosed with cancer.

 

 

Family photo: Valentin's father and Elizaveta's boyfriend Roman Troubetskoi also appeared in some of the images shot by Manolo.
