We received a response about the approximate costs of the surgery from the clinic in Germany.
The clinic is the University Medical Center Freiburg, and the doctor is Prof. Schmelzeisen (head of Maxilo-Facial Plastic Surgery Department), who, in Alexandrina's case is ready to perform two surgeries to reconstruct her upper lip.
The first reconstruction surgery that needs to be done now, at this age, with a mandatory hospitalization for 10 days.2. A second correction surgery should be performed at a pre-school age.
We spoke on the phone and by email, and the estimated cost for the first surgery and the 10 days in hospital only is of 22 thousand Euros.
The doctors, however, stressed that the costs can go up depending on the evolution of the girl's condition, on post-surgery circumstances or if there are other complications. The total amount must be paid before the surgery. We are currently examining this option, but we have collected less that 1/4 of the total amount. But we hope to be able to collect all the necessary money.
Respectfully,Diana and Alexandru
