In March 2026, Ukraine will once again host the Face to Face mission, an initiative that helps military personnel and civilians restore their faces after war-related injuries. This is the sixth mission to be carried out jointly by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Razom for Ukraine, INgenius, and Healing the Children.
A team of experienced American surgeons will come to Ukraine to perform complex reconstructive surgeries free of charge. The programme aims to support people who have suffered severe facial injuries, lost part of their bone structure or have significant scars from combat.
