Katie’s doctor, Mohammad Jawad, was in charge of the star’s reconstruction surgery after she was attacked with sulphuric acid in 2008.
The acid, some of which Piper had swallowed, blinded her in her left eye, and caused partial thickness and full thickness burns.
Dr Jawad and his team of surgeons completely removed the skin of Katie’s face, and replaced it with a skin substitute, Matriderm, to build the foundations for a skin graft.
This pioneering procedure was the first of its kind to be done in a single operation.
Dr Jawad previously told The Guardian: ‘When I first saw Katie, I was deeply concerned, her face was swollen and an orange-brown colour from the acid.
‘Her eyes were welded shut, at first we didn’t know whether she had been hit with an acid or an alkali substance – the latter can actually have more devastating results – so we used litmus paper to determine which it was.
‘Then we put her through an eight-hour extensive washing programme, with her eyes being particularly irrigated.’

After the operation, Katie was put into an induced coma for 12 days. She has since been through more than 200 surgical operations to treat her injuries.
Writing in the National Geographic last year, she said: ‘It’s been a decade since I survived a sulfuric acid attack that left me with severe burns across my face, in the following years, I’ve worked to redefine my sense of identity.
‘With injuries such as mine, your face can be so damaged that your expressions may not convey how you feel, and you may even lose your ability to smile.
‘It can be an isolating experience, you feel one way on the inside but look completely different on the outside, after more than 200 surgeries since my attack, I’ve accepted that my old face is gone.’
Katie’s ex-boyfriend Daniel Lynch organised Stefan Sylvestre to carry out the acid attack in London in March 2008.
Daniel, an obsessed fan who had a brief relationship with Piper, raped the aspiring model and presenter and ordered Sylvestre to attack her with acid.
After a trial the following year, Lynch was jailed for life with a minimum of 16 years at the age of 33. Sylvestre, then 20, received life with a minimum of six years.
Sylvestre has been walking free since he was released from behind bars last year in October when Katie was competing on Strictly Come Dancing.
