California Society of Plastic Surgeons Educational & Research Foundation (CSPSERF)

Thousands of California’s children are suffering from debilitating conditions that could be helped through reconstructive surgery and allow them to lead healthier, happier and more productive lives.

The California Society of Plastic Surgeons Educational & Research Foundation (CSPSERF) has a simple mission: to help uninsured and underinsured children of California who could benefit from reconstructive plastic surgery. The mission of CSPSERF is to help these children who want to appear more “normal” to avoid the stigma that can accompany an individual who has a different appearance. Being bullied, ostracized, excluded, and ignored can become a way of life for children with physical abnormalities. By offering them the services of California Board Certified Plastic Surgeons, we can help these children live without the self-consciousness and teasing that comes with being different.

For more information on how to apply for services, volunteer or donate, please visit the CSPSERF website.
