Foundation Moscow

Four-year-old Egor underwent surgery - a muscle from his hip was inserted into his cheek. When it gets used, the left side of the face will become mobile. It became possible thanks to your support! Egor's face has been completely devoid of facial expressions since birth. Due to paralysis of the facial muscles, the child does not blink, his eyesight decreases and strabismus develops, there are problems with chewing food and forming speech. You can fix this with two operations. "Thank you so much for giving my son the opportunity to smile," Alexandra says. – We would not have been able to raise such a sum on our own. The surgery on the left side was successful, and there is still swelling, but a nasolabial fold has already appeared, which did not exist before. The doctors said that the changes would be noticeable in a month and a half. For now, Egor needs to protect his cheek from hypothermia. Nutrition is only ground, so as not to strain the transplanted muscle. There's a lot of attention on her right now. Her condition is checked using a Doppler to make sure that she is working and blood is circulating in her. The muscle emits a sound similar to a heartbeat, and the blood flow in it sounds like the sound of the sea. Egor himself constantly approaches the mirror and looks for a smile in the reflection. She is not here yet, but we believe that she will definitely appear! Thank you for supporting Egor.

Egor needs surgery to restore his facial expressions

Egor is three years old and has Mobius syndrome. His face is completely devoid of facial expressions. Due to the fact that the boy does not blink, his eyesight falls and strabismus develops, and because of the paralysis of facial muscles, speech is slowly formed and problems with his bite begin. To prevent all this and restore the mobility of the child's face will help surgery. We open the collection for the first stage of surgical treatment. The Dmitriev family is very friendly and cheerful. One Egor does not know how to smile. His parents take him to kindergarten, to the playground. In short, they do not hide their son in four walls and teach him to perceive his peculiarity as a temporary problem, with which sooner or later they will cope. Today, children with this syndrome successfully regain facial expressions. Two unique surgeries to transplant nerves and muscles taken from the child's leg into his cheeks, then a long rehabilitation - and Egor will already be smiling in his first school photos. Let's help him go this way together!
