Nigerian Acid victim, Naomi Oni, honoured for her bravery with a prize at the Inspiration for Women Awards.

Remember 21-year old Nigerian girl,Naomi Oni who had acid hurled over her face, head and body as she made her way home to Dagenham after her shift at Westfield's Victoria's Secret store last December, while on the phone with her boyfriend?
The picture above is her face before the vicious attack but she looks different now.A lot of reconstruction has been made to restore her face since the attack, including taking skin from the back of her ear to make new eyelids for her. But her eyebrows remained permanently damaged.

The acid burned off the skin on her face and scalp and left her temporarily blinded. She lost her eyelids, eyebrows and some of her hair in the assault.The good news is that she now has new eyebrows.
Naomi had a sophisticated semi-permanent make-up treatment earlier in the month, that tattoos on the eyebrows as individual hairs, mimicking the effect of real brows and wept for joy when she saw her new brows.See photos below:

The cosmetic procedure was carried out by the expert Debra Robson LDN clinic on Harley Street.
Debra Robson said she had loved working with Naomi. She said: 'We recreated Naomi’s brows with my FAME technique, which builds up the brow at microscopic level, hair by hair.
'First we pencilled in the brow and got the correct shape for Naomi’s face.
'When she was happy with the shape, we began to build up her brows and as you can see from the pictures, the results were perfect.
'The key is to simulate the appearance of the natural hair – so that you can see the individual hair strokes in the new brow.
'Colour is implanted into the skin – it is very sophisticated form of cosmetic tattooing.'
Naomi's semi-permanent brows will last between nine months and a year before she requires a top-up.
Naomi says: 'They are beautiful – I’m so pleased I had it done.'

'I loved having the treatment – it feels so good to have my eyebrows back.
'What I loved about the treatment was its intricacy – it is a form of cosmetic tattooing.  It is the closest you can get to mimicking the appearance of the original brow.'

Naomi smiled: 'I did get a bit emotional when I saw them. It’s the first time I have seen myself with eyebrows for almost a year.'
Naomi is on leave from her job at Victoria's Secret lingerie store at Westfield shopping centre in Stratford, East London, while she recovers.
She eventually plans to return to work and pursue her dream of becoming a make-up artist.
Naomi, from London, is still at a loss to explain why she was targeted.
She said: 'I asked, "why me?" I work hard, I’m a good person.

Naomi was honoured for her bravery on October 2, 2013,with a prize at the Inspiration for Women Awards at Cadogan Hall in Chelsea.

Naomi faces further intricate laser surgery as doctors strive to lessen the impact of her scars and reconstruct her face
She said: 'It has been very difficult to come to terms with.
'My doctors have been brilliant but it will take years of laser surgery to repair my face.

'There is only so much you can do at any one time – then there is long healing process before you can undergo the next stage of the treatment.
'It is only now that I had been able to have semi-permanent make-up on my face.
