Rush Craniofacial Center
About Face: Advances in Craniofacial Surgery   People come to the Rush Craniofacial Center to get healthy. In that regard, they are just like any other patient at Rush. But unlike most patients, these people -- many of them young children -- wear their conditions on their faces. They see it in the mirror each morning and they feel it in the stares of others throughout the day....

Facing the World With Confidence   Born with Crouzon Syndrome, Danielle Smith underwent her first operation when she was six years old. In 1999, at age 14, she entered the final phase of her treatment, Rigid External Distraction, a technique pioneered by Polley and Figueroa. The change in Danielle, says her mother, Karen, has been both physical and emotional: "She looks more beautiful and confident because of it."
