The Lifestyle Lift Foundation - Helping Children With Birth Defects
There was a time in our past when doctors would tell parents of children who suffered from physical deformities to wait
, "It will go away" or "Leave it alone, making an issue of it will only make it worse." What was this "it" they spoke of? In some cases it was hemangiomas and malformations of the face. It doesn't take a genius to realize ignoring a facial malformation, especially in a young child is not a healthy option.Fortunately today, medical science and psychological science recognizes when a young person presents him or herself in public and they do not look like everyone else, ostracism is likely to occur. Ostracism can be like shunning, an old time punishment which was like a death sentence, because the human psyche cannot tolerate to be ignored.
In the case of a facial malformation, the young person does not understand the reason for his or her discrimination. Therefore, The Lifestyle Lift Foundation was created to help deal with this challenge, through the use of cosmetic enhancement procedures.
Dr. David Kent, the founder of Lifestyle Lift, decided to help children who had disfiguring diseases and other malformations of the face. In 2006 he founded the Lifestyle Lift Foundation to address these issues. Dr. Kent's philosophy is that all little children should be able to experience life without the hindrance of a facial deformity.
The Lifestyle Lift Foundation was made a non-profit organization to address this goal of providing medical assistance, treatment, and education to tormented children and their parents.
The educational wing of the Lifestyle Lift Foundation is not to be diminished in its role of information dispersal, since understanding what a hemangioma is and how it can be treated, provides great relief to parents of children who suffer with this deformity. A hemangioma is a benign tumor. It is formed by excess blood vessels in the area of the face.
Depending on whether there is blood flow or not, will determine the color of the hemangioma. That is, whether it is bright red, indicating the presence of oxygen; or dark red, indicating the lack of oxygen.
The surgical procedure can be highly risky since the face and blood vessels are involved, excessive bleeding and damage to vital components of the face, become a concern. The medical procedure requires highly specialized and skilled surgeons. Depending upon the placement of one of these hemangiomas, a child's life may be at risk.
If it is close to the nose and obstructs breathing, or near the mouth and interferes with eating, the child's life could be at risk. Early attention to the deformity indicates, not only a high surgical success rate, but also negative psychological effects of the child are diminished.
When a child's vision is saved by one of these procedures, or when their ability to eat normally, or when he can breathe without hindrance, not only is his life saved, but also his self image is improved.
If you find you are interested in the Lifestyle Lift procedure, you are encouraged to participate in a free, no obligation consultation. Then your team is able to discuss any matter related to the procedure you may have. Questions you may have are: how many procedures like the one you are considering has your team performed? You will want to see "Before and After" photos of similar procedures.
You will want to bring a photo which will help your physician understand what you are wanting in the way of an outcome of your procedure. Once you and the Lifestyle Lift team acknowledge you are a good candidate for the facial rejuvenation procedure, you will be scheduled for a free consultation.
