This Guy Had To Have His Head Expanded With A Balloon For Six Months

    This is one HELL of an operation.

    Meet Chris Stoyanov, 30, from Woking, Surrey.

    For 17 years he had numerous operations to remove a tumour which began to grow on his scalp when he was a teen.

    After moving to the UK surgeons removed the final tumour tissue, but had to remove a large portion of his scalp.

    It left him with a huge bald patch.

    Plastic surgeon Niall Kirkpatrick came up with this solution: a balloon gradually inflated with water to stretch the remaining skin on his scalp.

    Chris says: "As the lump got bigger I tried to hide it with hats - which was a bit difficult because it was the middle of summer and it was boiling hot."

    The hair began to grow back. He now has a full head of hair.
