Austin Smiles - The Austin Plastic Surgery Foundation

Last week our team dropped off 25 Jaw Surgery Care Kits to Dell Children's Craniofacial Clinic. These 25 kits will be for Summer Jaw Surgery Patients! Each kit includes items to promote healing, confidence and help with the liquid diet that patients are on for months after surgery.

Along with this, we have added Teen Support Groups for these patients so they can prepare for surgery and talk to others who have been through the surgery! Jaw surgery can be so daunting for a child, but having support and being prepared helps set patients up for success!

Thank you Lola Wright Foundation for supporting Austin Smiles Surgery & Newborn Care Kit program!
