Mission Plasticos, founded by Dr. Larry Nichter was just featured in the Loma Linda University Alumni Association, School of Medicine Journal. The “Service Is in Our DNA” article in the Spring 2024 Journal highlights a recent mission trip to Kenya organized by Mission Plasticos. It showcases the important work of the nonprofit to provide reconstructive surgical care to those in need and to generate sustainable outcomes through medical team training, public education, and research. All the reconstructive plastic surgeries Mission Plasticos perform are free of charge. In addition to the busy surgery schedule, each morning before operating, the Mission Plasticos surgeons gave lectures to plastic surgery resident physicians who were visiting from other places. The lectures were also live-streamed throughout Kenya and around the globe and included topics regarding safety issues, enhancing recovering from surgery, and other specific plastic surgery topics.
