What Is Saving Faces?
Saving Faces is the UK’s only charity solely focused on facial surgery research and care. Founded by Professor Iain Hutchison, a renowned oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the organization works to reduce facial injuries, disfigurements, and diseases through groundbreaking clinical research, education, and compassionate patient support.
From oral cancer to facial trauma, disfigurement to deformities, Saving Faces collaborates with top surgeons and scientists to improve surgical techniques, enhance patient outcomes, and offer emotional support during the most difficult times.
Why Facial Surgery Research Matters
Our faces are deeply personal — they’re how we connect, express, and identify ourselves. When someone faces facial surgery, the experience is not only physical, but also emotionally life-altering.
Saving Faces understands this. Their work combines cutting-edge medical innovation with an emphasis on emotional and psychological recovery, ensuring treatments that are not only effective but also affirm dignity and quality of life.
Their leadership of the National Facial and Oral Research Centre (NFORC) — the world’s first clinical research centre dedicated to facial surgery — means they are at the forefront of global surgical advancements.
