Through our work with the Birthmark Support Group charity, Medavia was put in touch with Zara Green whose baby girl, Connie, was born with a pink mark on the tip of her button nose. Within weeks it became red, bulbous, and perfectly round – and Connie was fondly dubbed the ‘clown nose baby’. Zara had to accept that because of its position, Connie’s birthmark looked funny as well as shocking. But as the tot grew older, the taunts grew cruel, and worse still, doctors warned that Connie could even bleed to death if her nose was scratched or bruised.

We sold and wrote Connie’s heartwarming story in a magazine two years ago, and since then, little Connie went on to have pioneering facial reconstruction surgery. Connie is now a bright and bubbly two year old with just a tiny scar on her nose. The pictures of her transformation touched the hearts of the nation, and the world, after Medavia sold her story around the globe. We’ve handled interest from all the UK national newspapers, women’s magazines, countless titles around the world and TV shows from London to New York. The family is delighted to have raised awareness of this rare condition and that all the coverage, controlled by Medavia, has been sensitive and accurate.
