Jennifer Hiles, 28, has arteriovenous malformation (AVM) which means there is a problem with the way the arteries and veins in her face are connected.
It’s incredibly painful, causes bleeding and has almost killed Jennifer several times, with the mum now pinning her hopes on an operation which could remove it.
She said: “I just want to be able to spend all of my time with my kids without people looking at me and calling me names.
“I just want to not be shy and be who I am without worrying about what people will think.
“AVM is so hard to deal with – it makes my gums bleed and has completely eroded the bone in my teeth, if they fall out I could bleed to death.”
The balloons in Jennifer’s face help stretch her skin and are filled with saline every eight weeks.
She’s due to have the surgery in May, where doctors will remove the AVM and use the extra skin to cover any scars.
