Boston University highlights Dr. Larry Nichter and the Mission Plasticos’s global mission to restore lives through reconstructive surgery and sustainable medical training.
Boston University Showcases Mission Plasticos Humanitarian Impact
Newport Beach, CA – October 2025 — Dr. Larry Nichter and Mission Plasticos continue to receive national recognition for their life-changing humanitarian work. In a recent feature by Boston University, the Foundation’s mission trips were spotlighted—highlighting a powerful story of a young girl in Laos who regained her ability to walk after receiving reconstructive surgery from the volunteer team.
The article also underscored the social importance of this work. In many regions of the world, children and adults with birth defects or disfigurements suffer from stigma, discrimination, or isolation. By restoring both form and function, Mission Plasticos helps patients reclaim confidence, dignity, and a renewed place in their communities. For maximum impact, it focuses on Development and Capacity building by training reconstructive surgeons around the world.
