Saving Faces performs charitable work overseas in International destinations. We currently attend a cleft and craniofacial mission trip annually in the Dominican Republic. Surgery for these children is provided as well as training for the local surgeons to perform these operations during the year in our absence. We have local doctors also follow-up on the results to make sure the children do well after their operations and recover appropriately.
Saving Faces is a non-profit organization dedicated to bettering the lives of children with visible birth defects. We provide access to expert medical care and specialty surgeons who work together in a multi-disciplinary approach to solving complex deformities. Pediatric plastic and craniofacial surgery is a highly complex discipline with a limited number of available surgeons.
Many of these patients are uninsured and often find difficulty obtaining the appropriate medical treatment. Rather than have local physicians who only occasionally see these deformities, Saving Faces will provide access to a team of specialists who are specifically trained in this field and can achieve superior outcomes. Surgery will be performed at our affiliated Children’s Hospital to provide the best safety and peri-operative support. All physician services are donated and no fees will be assessed.
Every child deserves a great smile and a great future! With your support, we can make a difference in the lives of children all over the world.
Saving Faces is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2013.
The co-directors: Dr. Nicholas Bastidas (pediatric plastic surgery) and Dr. Jeremy Tarver (oral maxillofacial surgery) are dedicated to providing the best surgical care to those who need it most. Your donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE!
