Then aged 26, she underwent surgery that removed her lower eyelid, after the tumour was found to be much deeper than initially expected, and required a skin graft from her inner arm as well as several laser surgeries in the following years."
"It had been a normal day in the office for Jessica Zbinden-Webster, when she scratched her eye and realised her hand was covered in blood. For months, she had been aware of a lesion on her face, but having had problematic skin during her late teens and early twenties, she had assumed it to be a blocked pore.

The tumour required surgery removing her lower eyelid, a skin graft from her inner arm, and several laser procedures.
