Youssif will be injected with steroids into the swollen scar tissue to soften and flatten the tissue. Over the course of about three months, the balloons will be gradually inflated with saline to stretch the "good skin." Once enough good skin has been stretched, he will go back into surgery and have the scar tissue removed and the good skin pulled over it.
