Mother suffers third degree burns to her face and has to wear a MASK after tripping over a garden heater during an epileptic fit

Aimee Lee Sciberras (with six-month-old son Elijah, right), 23, from Melbourne, was in her garden when she blacked out and walked into her house, oblivious as to the fact she had tripped over a heater. 


She was rushed to hospital and told she had third degree burns (inset) and needed surgery as doctors ran tests to work out why she collapsed. They diagnosed her with epilepsy and gave her two masks (left) to wear day and night to help smooth out her scar tissue. But they have said it could take up to two years for her face to fully heal and she may need therapy to lighten the colour of her wounds.
