Negative portrayals of disfigurement can influence how people think about disfigurement.

All too often the language and imagery around disfigurement is of sad lives 'blighted' by disfigurement, and words like 'horror', 'ugliness' and 'monstrosity' are used to describe the disfiguring condition or people involved.
