The Science of Healing: Faces of Childhood

In this 30-minute special The Science of Healing: Faces of Childhood, we follow the stories of three children forever changed by SLUCare plastic surgeon Dr. Alexander Lin with craniofacial surgery.

Watch as Dr. Lin uses the power of 3D printing to rebuild a child’s face after an accident by moving the bones around her eyes and forehead. See how he expands a fused skull to allow a young boy’s brain room to grow, and repairs a teenager’s jaw as the final step in a series of cleft palate surgeries.

This episode aired Wednesday, October 23, 2019, on KMOV-TV 4.
