Heads Up Craniofacial Surgery Foundation focuses on caring for individuals with facial and ear defects whether they are congenital or acquired. These defects include ear deformities such as Microtia (born with an underdeveloped ear), Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate deformities, and Nasal Deformities. Our goal is to help give these children, of all ages, the best chance to obtain success in their lives. Through reconstructive plastic surgery, these individuals can walk tall and Keep their Heads Up.

In the words of the Father of Plastic Surgery, Gaspare Tagliacozzi (1545-99), “We restore, rebuild, and make whole those parts which nature hath given, but which fortune has taken away. Not so much that it may delight the eye, but that it might buoy up the spirit, and help the mind of the afflicted.”
