Following the assault, Piper was placed in a medically induced coma for 12 days. She underwent an extensive series of operations—over 40 reconstructive procedures—to treat the severe burns and damage caused by the acid. As part of her recovery, she wore a custom-built pressure mask to help manage scarring and promote healing.
After initial treatment, Piper moved back in with her parents to continue her recovery journey and emotional rehabilitation. Her resilience and determination became a source of inspiration to many.
Transforming personal tragedy into public advocacy, Piper founded the Katie Piper Foundation in 2009. The organization works to improve rehabilitation services for burns survivors, providing medical care access, emotional support, and social reintegration resources. Her efforts have earned widespread recognition and have significantly impacted care for disfigurement victims in the UK.
Piper's bravery and openness in discussing trauma have also led to a successful media career. She has hosted several television programs and documentaries, including Channel 4's "Katie: My Beautiful Face," which documented her early recovery. Her work in television has helped raise awareness on issues related to body image, resilience, and recovery from trauma.
