The patient had severe deformity in the middle of her face and was missing her right eye and upper jaw, the Cleveland Clinic doctors said.

Objective Partial or full defects of jawbone following tumor resection frequently lead to a loss of mastication, an impaired speech function and a severe deformity of appearance.

But we know that a neuropathic patient with a severe deformity is at a very high risk of ulceration so I think it makes sense to consider those patients if they are healthy enough to have surgery.
