Carlotti Jaw Surgery

This is Marina Stepper's Story. Drs. Albert & Michelle Carlotti, Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons in Scottsdale, Arizona performed this life changing surgery for Marina as part of their efforts to give back to their community. Marina was born with a facial skeletal deformity that made it difficult to breath, chew, speak, swallow and have a positive sense of her self. In their private facility, Desert Palm Surgical and Skin Care Center, the Carlottis performed upper and lower jaw surgery with a hip bone graft and a chin reduction. Marina went home the next day! Laurel D'Antoni presented them with the Phoenix Suns Charities 2008 Community Leadership Award for their life-changing efforts. Dr. Albert Carlotti and Dr. Michelle Carlotti support many local charities as well as sit on the Board of Directors of champion LPGA golfer Cristie Kerr's Birdies for Breast Cancer.
