HEARTBREAKING!!! Meet the lady born without a face

Khadija Khatoon has endured 21 years of living with a severe facial deformity that means she doesn't even know if she has eyes or a nose.

Ms Khatoon's mouth is reduced to just a small slit on the left side of her face.

The young woman, from Kolkata in Eastern India, was born with a facial deformity that has baffled doctors at her local hospital.

She was born with thick eyelids and has never been able to view the world.

As she began to get older, her deformity grew out of control.

Ms Khatoon, who was born into an impoverished family, has never gone to school and has largely been rejected by her community.
