Toggle Content About Us
Emma, is our 3-year-old daughter who was born with a facial nevus. As her mother and primary advocate, I have become a stay at home mom in order to best help us handle her care. Her father works in computers at a local university. His job provides us with good insurance and enough vacation time so that we can spend her surgeries recouping together. We consider ourselves very lucky.

News » No More Expanders!
Surgeries Emma developed a hole in her skin after just one month of expansion. She had 95/250 cc filled in her expander and it proved to be enough to remove most of the nevus from her face. She will still need to undergo surgeries to remove some small areas ofnevus as wellas making sure everything looks right. The updated pictures can be found here.

She is still pretty uncomfortable (this was her second surgery in about a month) but she's pretty tough and will be bouncing around the house very soon.

This marks a major milestone in her short life and ours as we will no longer have to go through the skin expansion process again Smile

She still has a lot of work to go though, but this is really a giant step forward.
