    I have it on my face, I've been getting surgery every year since I was born and it's a struggle to live with it everyday. No one looks at me like I'm normal.

      I have lymphangioma on the left side of my cheek. I just had surgery recently to reduce the size of it, to make it more even as the other side of my face and to get rid of most of the pain

      Same here with me, I have it on the front of my neck. I absolutely hate it, and I’ve had 2 very invasive and painful surgery’s with long healing times left me with a massive scar going straight across my neck, but it keeps reoccurring. I never had it until 2 years ago, and in almost one month it went from a tiny pea sized lump in my neck to a baseball sized lump, and ever since then it has just been growing. I often need to go to the emergency room (at least once a month) to have them do emergency drainage because it restricts my breathing and swallowing. I am having another operation in one month with a new surgeon who says he’s confident he can fully remove it, he says he will have to cut me from ear to ear and that I will have a 3 month recovery. I am praying that this will be my last surgery, but I am also just loosing hope at this point because nothing seems to work.
      I am 21 year old university student, and just two years ago I used to be so confident in my self and was very social with others but now I’m just so depressed and anxious because of this that I hide myself from everyone and everything.
      I hate living with this.

    I hade one behind my right eye. The doctor thought it was cancer, I nearly got my head cut open, but it ended up just being a malformation. I’m better now, I didn’t need surgery.

    I have venous malformation in right shoulder, arm, scapular region , forearm since birth and done sclerotherapy for 8 times... its too painful ...feels like my hand is burning in fire.... I feel difficut to sleep from right side...and I alway sleep from left side....at last left hand muscles become weak from everyday strain and now I can't sleep from left side too....sometimes I can't sleep whole night figuring how to sleep... I feel strong when I watch this type of video that there are many people suffering from this malformation....from my very childhood I always think that I will die... but i think its not true ... I am 24 years...and still doing sclerotherapy hoping for better life....I laugh , smile and do whatever I want even though I feel physical pain... be strong... be calm... be happy...
