We have an update on Lai Thi Dao, the Vietnamese teen disfigured by a 16 pound tumor that we told y’all about last week.
Well, after 12 hours of surgery, doctors at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center successfully removed the tumor!
The potentially life-threatening operation went off without any complications, thankfully.
The tumor had consumed the lower half of the teen’s face. It had been growing since she was 3 and eventually accounted for roughly one-third of her body weight.
Doctors told the media that Lai's tumor was one of the largest ever reported.
The teen hopes to finally attend school once she recovers and returns to Vietnam.
The International Kids Fund, which helps foreign children with urgent health needs, is seeking donations to pay for the surgery.

They should let stay this way. She doesn't need help!!!
UM. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M LOOKING AT. POOR GIRL.
AND, TO THE COMMENT ABOVE ME, GO FUCK URSELF CINDYP.
Perez, is that you on the pic?
merci seigneur
It is fantastic that this girl has been able to be helped, and hopefully her life will be more normal now. To all the people who make a joke out of this child's misfortune, you are disgusting.
holy shit! that must have been a hard ass surgery…at least she survived
Some of you are the most heartless ass holes. I've never read such horrible comments before. What if you or one of your friends or family members had to live like that for almost your entire life? Would it still be funny then? It's a miracle she was able to get helped! And don't attack perez for posting this. That's completely missing the point. Some of you are way too ignorant and disgusting
Thanks Perez- very kind of you- nice to know.
If this child was an american she's have HotPockets wrappers stuck to
her lip and be texting her friends about how "WEIRD" other
children are. dumbass children in this country suck.

Stick to the celebrity news we don't come here to see this, we can watch Oprah for that.
DID ANYONE TRY LEACHES YET
She looks like hell. A beard would be an improvement.
I don't like her.
Sometimes this seems unreal, but if it is, I hope you ungrateful, insentitive, immoral, s.o.b's get exactly what is due to you! If u don't want to see something like this….GETA FRICKEN LIFE AND STAY OFF THE COMPUTER!!!!!!
after all, you guys are probably some of the ugliest MF's around!!!!!!
Thank God that this child was blessed with the help that she needed! Please post an after picture and keep us informd on the outcome! Many prayers be with her!
I'm assuming the majority of people commenting here are American(I might be wrong) because the majority of comments come from people with SHIT FOR BRAINS.
To all those who complained about seeing this picture 1st thing in the morning or being put off your food just imagine not being able to eat,sleep, talk properly or go to school because of an unfortunate illness. SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ORDER SOME EMPATHY THE NEXT TIME YOU DRIVE YOUR FAT ARSE THRU THE McDONALDS DRIVE THRU.
Enlighten yourself and try to imagine the anguish the family of this poor girl, who quite obviously cannot afford medical care, feel. Consider how such impoverished people even get to a hospital to have her seen to and ponder on the unbelievable prospect of places where there are NO HOSPITALS AT ALL.
I know that it will be difficult for you septic tanks to imagine a world outside of the United States so if this post is hurting your brain too much go back to your coffee, tossers. Better still reply to my post by bagging me for hating on the lack of informed comment of your fellow countrymen by telling me I'M JUST JEALOUS I DON'T LIVE IN THE U.S or HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO GET INTO YOUR COUNTRY THEREFORE IT MUST BE TOP SHIT (declining to mention that for many people in the world from countries FAR worse off, the U.S would be a desirable place to live) or BETTER YET TELL ME AUSTRALIA IS SHIT.
The Commonwealth of Australia was formed 208 years ago, our country was only discovered 228 years ago by the English. We have so much to be proud of. We live without fear of dumb fucks shooting up schools, we ALL vote for our leader (who incidently is not elected because of how much money /contacts they have), we're brave enough to pull our troops out of places they shouldn't be, our education and health system work well, our Prime Minister apologised to our Indigenous people for what has occured in the past, we own passports (50% vs U.S 18 %) and travel overseas (even though it can take up to 24 hours to reach some destinations, and our country is the 6th biggest in the world so we have plenty of places to go to here) to experience other cultures, and AUSTRALIA IS STUNNING.
Apart from all the yanks who read this and got my point about the ridiculous comments which prompted my tirade TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO BE PROUD OF????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
