INTRODUCTION

At the Cleveland Aesthetics Center, we believe that true beauty radiates from the inside out. That's why we're honored to partner with Journey Center for Safety and Healing to offer comprehensive care for survivors of domestic violence. Our collaboration combines expert facial reconstruction with specialized trauma care to help individuals reclaim their confidence and well-being.

Dr. Michael Yerukhim: Expertise and Compassion

Dr. Michael Yerukhim, a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, brings his extensive skill and a deep understanding of trauma to this partnership. As a participant in the FACE TO FACE program through the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), Dr. Yerukhim is dedicated to helping survivors heal both physically and emotionally.

Dr. Yerukhim's participation in the FACE TO FACE program speaks to his commitment to using his expertise to make a positive impact in the lives of those affected by domestic violence.

FACE TO FACE: The National Domestic Violence Project

Since 1994, the FACE TO FACE program has been a beacon of hope for survivors of domestic violence. Through this initiative, skilled surgeons like Dr. Yerukhim volunteer their time to repair facial injuries, offering individuals a chance to move forward with renewed confidence and a sense of empowerment.
