The Benefits of Plastic Surgeries for Children with Severe Facial Deformities

For those with severe facial deformities, the benefits of plastic surgeries include an improved sense of self worth, a feeling of belonging in the world, and renewed sense of belief in their own future. What people don’t understand they tend to fear and shun. Unfortunately the object of that fear is often the face of an innocent child with a common, yet severe deformity known as cleft lip or cleft palate. The goal of charity organizations like Operation Smile is to bring the benefits of plastic surgeries to impoverished children who have a cleft lip or palate through its international chapters and foundations around the world.

The operations are usually performed in the child’s home country. In the short time since it’s founding in 1982, Operation Smile has stood out among charity organizations for its impact on the lives of children and has been recognized by the Kellog's Hannah Neil Award for selfless commitment to children.

Plastic surgeons from around the world dedicate their time and supporters give their monetary donations to further the cause of the global chapters of charity organizations like Operation Smile. Celebrities like Jessica Simpson, Roma Downey, and Mark Burnett, understand the life-changing benefits of plastic surgeries for those with severe deformities and selflessly choose to dedicate their time and raise money for Operation Smile.

Our goal is to see that no child who needs surgery is turned away due to lack of funds. Like other charity organizations, Operation Smile relies solely on the tax-deductible donations from caring people like you to bring smiles to children around the globe.
