Christian Hadjipateras is raising awareness for those who, like himself, were born with facial differences, with a particular emphasis on the psychological impact it can have. Having been born with complex craniofacial anomalies, he underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries in the UK, US and France up until his mid-twenties. He began writing about his experiences at a young age and, in more recent years, he's delved into speaking more publicly about them; in the UK, Greece and Switzerland. He is also an ambassador for Smile Train; the world’s largest cleft focused charity.
Since moving to Switzerland with his wife in 2022, he has been determined to raise awareness here. He joins Katt Cullen on the WRS Breakfast Show.
