When Jade Metivier was 11 years old, her parents, Christi and Mark, noticed that the bones around her eyes and cheekbones weren’t growing properly, a congenital condition known as midface hypoplasia. As a result, Jade struggled with regular activities like eating, talking and smiling since she had a severe underbite. “You’re smiling on the inside, but not the outside,” says Christi. As a toddler, Jade had surgery for a cleft lip and palate, but the Metiviers knew her current condition would require more specialized care. The family traveled from the Kansas City metropolitan area to seek the help of Dr. Thomas Imahiyerobo, the director of cleft and craniofacial surgery at NewYork-Presbyterian and co-director of #NYP’s Craniofacial Program, which is known for treating complex disorders of the facial bones and skull. “Our goal with craniofacial surgeries is always to elevate someone’s quality of life while also making them feel more like themselves,” says Dr. Imahiyerobo. His treatment plan included a series of surgeries that would separate Jade’s facial bones from her skull, then move the bones forward using mechanical devices. “It was a lot to digest,” says Christi. “But Dr. Imahiyerobo and the team at NewYork-Presbyterian gave us the confidence and the reassurance that we weren’t going through this alone, and we never did feel alone.” Jade’s transformation and recovery took about a year, but she is now able to do everyday activities with ease. The high school freshman who loves eating pizza, listening to Taylor Swift and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs is also back to doing what she loves most: dancing. “When you perform, you have to smile, and I like the smile I have now,” Jade says.
