Mission and Vision

The mission of The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery is to provide a forum of communication for all those involved in the field of craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery, encompassing both the clinical practice of craniofacial surgery and the basic sciences as they correlate to the scope of craniofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery. Our vision is to continue as the premiere journal in craniofacial surgery, maxillofacial surgery and pediatric plastic surgery, and to encourage all aspects of facial surgery, the cutting-edge of science, and all new technological advances. We will continue to serve the needs of communication for all organized medical societies relating to our mission.
