Another veteran user of the NAM, John is eight years old and was born with a wide unilateral cleft lip and palate. John has been a patient of NYU’s Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery all his life. In the words of Kathy, his mom,
“Johnny is actually one of the institute’s true success stories. they feature his case around the world when they travel to teach other doctors their methods. Johnny has grown up to be a smart, very athletic, wonderful boy. We’ll be forever grateful to all the wonderful doctors at NYU who have helped him along the way.”
Looking at John’s handsome face does my heart good. I look forward to Emily’s glowing 8-year-old smile! Thanks, Kathy, for sharing John with Cleftstories.com. Please visit the NAM Gallery to see all of John’s photos (scroll WAY down).
John is gorgeous. Thank you for posting all these wonderful success stories. We hope to one day have Gracie’s lip/nose revision done at NYU. The doctors really do amazing work!
