Surgeons performed surgery on Alisher’s jaw and installed bone implants. Now his mouth opens freely, and the boy can eat regular food. Thank you for your help!

Several years ago, due to an unfortunate fall, Alisher damaged the condylar process, which connects the lower jaw to the upper jaw. The doctors didn’t notice this injury in time, and a couple of years later the child’s mouth stopped opening properly. He could only eat pureed food. It was impossible to postpone the surgery due to the risk of serious complications.

“I want to thank everyone who helped my son,” says Nargiza. “After the surgery, my son’s mouth opens by 4 centimeters, whereas before it was only 1.5 centimeters. Alisher can bite into food without any obstacles; now he doesn’t have to chop it into small pieces. On the third day, the doctors allowed him to try any dishes he wanted. The first thing he wanted to eat was a burger.”

While still in the hospital, Alisher started looking at himself in the mirror carefully, checking how wide he could open his mouth. Now he trains the mobility of his jaws daily, as recommended by doctors. Now everything is fine with him. This became possible thanks to you, tubers!

About the campaign

Alisher needs surgery on his jaw

After the injury, Alisher's mouth opens with a very narrow slit. It is necessary to install bone implants and literally open the boy's mouth.

A few years ago, Alisher stumbled and fell. As a result, there is a fracture of the condylar process, the one that connects the lower jaw with the upper one. Unfortunately, the doctors missed this fracture, and when they realized it, it was too late. After a couple of years, Alisher couldn't even bite off a soft banana, now he eats everything in tiny pieces. In the future, there will be speech disorders and a serious complication: during surgery, Alisher will not be able to be intubated, the tube simply will not fit.… Therefore, the operation cannot be delayed.

A football player, an enthusiastic reader and a friend of the whole class, Alisher is my mother's assistant– and he vacuums and washes the dishes. One thing he lacks for happiness is to eat normally. To help the boy, we are opening a collection for custom-made implants made of high-quality material that will not be toxic and will not disrupt the rudiments of molars. Let's help Alisher together!
