My Rare Condition Makes My Face Look Like A Mask | BORN DIFFERENT

SUBSCRIBE to Truly: http://bit.ly/Oc61Hj 21-YEAR-OLD Buddy lives with an ultra-rare condition which makes his face look like he's "wearing a mask." There are thought to be only 13 people in the world with Nablus syndrome and Buddy was the third person on record to be diagnosed. The condition meant he was born with "very tiny" eyes, so his field of vision is narrow, with blind spots in his peripherals. He also cannot straighten most of his fingers and his voice has been affected too - multiple surgeries growing up were only partially successful in helping people to understand him. As a result of his appearance and his voice, Buddy faced bullying growing up - he told Truly: "It made me feel like, 'Man, I'm kind of different from everybody'." But Buddy decided to turn his difference into a superpower and set out on a mission to "inspire people." Now amassing followers on Instagram, Buddy posts inspirational content to motivate others and "set the example of a man who never complains about anything." His mom, Miki, recognised this in her son from a young age - she could see that "his mind was born strong" - and Buddy's gym trainer, Clarence agrees: "I was in awe from day one and he earned my respect instantly." But although Buddy has mastered the art of relentless positivity, deep down he still harbours hopes that there might be surgical options available to him that will make life even better - enabling him to "see and speak easier." So today, he is going to see Dr. Natori, his family doctor since birth - but will Dr. Natori have the answers Buddy is hoping for?
