subject: Lifestyle Lift Foundation - Improving The Lives Of Children [print this page] There are many children born with physical defects every year. Birth defects can sometimes be very traumatic - and sometimes affect the very life of the child. There are many diseases that can be contracted by a child that can leave him or her disfigured for the rest of his or her life. This can cause psychological disorders as well as make ordinary day-to-day activities difficult, ultimately making the child suffer in various ways.
Lifestyle Lift helps alleviate the sufferings of children who have been through such diseases and birth defects through their Lifestyle Lift Foundation - a non-profit organization dedicated to improve the lives of physically disfigured children.
Lifestyle Lift uses a procedure of cosmetic enhancing that is a safer and more natural technique and does not involve intensive surgery. The procedure makes use of local anesthesia and lasts only about an hour and is very affordable.
The Lifestyle Lift Foundation improves the lives of disfigured children who either cannot afford cosmetic enhancing procedures - or do not have access to such procedures.
The Lifestyle Lift Foundation specializes in assisting children with Hemangioma. Hemangioma is a birth defect in the form of a benign tumor that many children are born with. Hemangiomas are formed by the collection of a mass of excess blood vessels in a particular area and are in the shape of a ball or a bulge or a flatter mat. They are the color of the blood that is running through the vessels - as the vessels themselves are colorless - sometimes bright red, if the blood is rich in oxygen - and sometimes, dark, if the blood is low on oxygen.
Hemangiomas in children mostly disappear by the time they are ten years old - but some Hemangiomas cause problems in vision, in breathing or have psychosocial complications because of their unnatural appearances.
If hemangiomas grow to block the eye, eyesight is blocked; if they grow in the larynx, they obstruct breathing. If, in the rarest of rare cases, a hemangioma grows very large and this results in the need for large amounts of blood to be pumped into the excess blood vessels, it causes heart failure.
Hemangiomas are potentially dangerous to the psychology of a growing child if they are visible physically as they can be the subject of malicious ridicule because they are physically abnormal. School-going children with hemangiomas are very much in danger of psychosocial abuse, especially when the nose or the lips are involved - as this makes it difficult to surgically treat the hemangioma.
In all these cases, hemangioma should be treated and removed. The Lifestyle Lift Foundation removes these hemangiomas for children who would lead better lives without them. Many children have gained better eyesight, a better psychosocial life and even their lives because of the Lifestyle Lift Foundation.
