First person sneaking wounds block view. Any way to reset model?

Question

I was completing a quest at a foundry where I touched the molten steel. I did not die, but my player model caught fire and burned for a few seconds. I managed to save myself by taking a number of stimpaks.

Unfortunately this altered my players model seemingly permanently. I did not notice it right away. I have a number of permanent wounds, including most of my hip and waist region completely damaged and removed. When I crouch in first person, most of my view is blocked with a bloody wound (presumably my face although looking at my face from the front shows no damage.

Does anyone know how I can reset my characters model? I have tried using the console commands (sexchange, showlooksmenu) in an attempt to force a reset/redraw of the model, but the damage persists.

The below actions result in resetting your characters looks, but it does fix the problem. It looks like at some point I was damaged in such a way that a skeleton was added inside my model. This apparently intersected with and was exposed from the skin on the model and when crouching, I believe I was seeing the sternum and ribcage.

To reset your characters model:

1. Enter the console ~.
2. Select your character with the mouse.
3. unequipall
4. Select your character with the mouse (just to be sure).
5. recycleactor

Your character model should now be reset and without a skeleton, unfortunately, you will have to recreate your characters features. Perks seem to require removal and re-add.

Use the player.removeperk and player.addperk commands to first remove perks and then re-add them otherwise they seem to display, but activate (e.g. I had Locksmith 3 perk, but could not open but the easiest locks).
