本研究结果表明，首席研究员藤井Teruaki藤井在两岁时就开始在他的右脸颊上出现粉红色、圆形的印记，这是对其他容貌障碍进行严厉歧视的预兆，在我国首次进行了直接采访。他的标记是一个血管瘤，一种由扩张的血管组成的良性肿瘤。这项研究表明，外貌障碍的心理困扰是严重的。家庭的鼓励和朋友的督促是所有社会支持系统中最重要的。首席调查员还访问学校，告诉孩子们歧视是多么不公平，让他们触摸柔软、温暖的肿瘤，可以感觉到他的脉搏。本研究表明，在小学和初中开展相貌障碍的教育实践活动在国内尚属首例，在国外也受到了关注。去年10月，随着他的自传《命运之脸》的出版，这位首席调查员成为了日本100万面部畸形者的“火炬手”。首席调查员和其他8名“失去了正常面孔”的人共同出版了一本书。将来这项研究一定会在世界范围内推广。
