Bjorn flew in for his first treatment for microtia and atresia with the Little Baby Face Foundation this month from Jamaica. Bjorn’s case is a prime example of just how difficult it can be to find the right help and treatment, especially for underprivileged families from countries with limited healthcare. Upon his visit, Dr. Romo, one of the nation’s leading plastic surgeons and founder of the Little Baby Face Foundation, identified that Bjorn also has hemifacial microsomia as well as a mass on his tongue, which means his microtia surgery will have to be postponed to allow for additional medical testing.
Even though Bjorn didn’t undergo surgery as expected, his visit was a crucial step in his treatment plan. He was able not only to get properly diagnosed, but also, he was able to meet with expert physicians specializing in the conditions he is dealing with. For example, Dr. Romo is a leading expert in ear reconstruction, and Dr. Kohan specializes in hearing restoration and bone anchored hearing aids (BAHA), but Bjorn will see other Little Baby Face Foundation physicians for his hemifacial microsomia and a tongue mass. In cases like this, it takes a village of physicians to treat a child born with facial birth defects.
This is another reason why families seek out the Little Baby Face Foundation. Not only do we provide pro bono treatment for families who would not otherwise be able to afford or even to access treatment, but also we have an entire team of incredible physicians with their own areas of expertise. Together, we can help a child cohesively and efficiently, creating the best possible treatment plan for the child’s unique conditions and avoiding more surgeries or medical interventions than necessary.
Bjorn is currently getting all the required testing he needs to move forward with treatment. We will be providing updates here on our blog and on social media using the hashtag #bjornlbff to keep you posting on the results, his updated treatment plan, and soon his first surgery at the Little Baby Face Foundation.
Welcome to the Little Baby Face family, Bjorn. We promise, you’re in very capable hands and we look forward to seeing you back in our offices very soon!
