We really love getting updates and photos of all the children we’ve helped at the Little Baby Face Foundation, and we hope you love reading their updates as much as we do! Today, we’re sharing Jaronn’s incredible journey with you.
Jaronn flew from the Philippines to New York City for treatment at the Little Baby Face Foundation recently for the second time. Jaroon was born with a venous malformation around his cheek, mouth, and nose that was growing progressively. Medical intervention was absolutely necessary, as the placement and size of his venous malformation impacted his eating, drinking, and speech.

Jaronn’s first treatment was a surgery to remove bulk from the venous malformation, as well as a laser treatment. This went smoothly, but he still has quite the journey ahead of him in terms of treatment. Jaronn will have to return for treatment many more times.

Dr. Waner performed Jaronn’s second surgery to remove the venous malformation. Since the venous malformation has been there a long time, Dr. Waner said he excised as much as he possibly could this time around, and therefore the venous malformation should not grow back. Surgery went smoothly, and Jaronn was incredibly brave. We’re constantly surprised and inspired by these children’s resilience!

Post-surgery, Jaronn experienced quite a bit of swelling around his mouth and on the inside of his cheek. This is very normal following surgery in this area, and it took a couple weeks to go all the way down. Until then, the doctor’s orders were soft foods, liquids, and a lot of rest.

Dr. Waner also asked Jaronn’s mother to send photos after their return home, which was about 3 weeks following Jaronn’s surgery. We are in constant contact with all of our children and their families well beyond their time at our offices. Not only do we want to keep up to speed on their health, but we also like to hear how they are doing in their everyday lives. It brings us so much joy to watch them grow and thrive, particularly after the initial treatment(s) where the “hardest” part is over and their lives begin to change exponentially!

We will be sharing updates on Jaronn here and on social media, so be sure to follow along to find out how he’s doing and when his next treatment—probably laser treatment—is scheduled.
