Gaten Matarazzo<\/strong> is undergoing surgery.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the Stranger Things<\/em> star<\/a> took to Instagram to share a health update with his followers ahead of his latest surgery for cleidocranial dysplasia<\/a> (CCD), a birth defect that affects the growth of the bones and teeth that often leaves sufferers without them. While the 17-year-old didn’t reveal the nature of the procedure, he did share that it would mark his 4th surgery and called it “a big one.”<\/p>\n

Sharing a selfie from his hospital bed and giving the camera a nervous thumbs up, Gaten wrote, “Surgery number 4! This is a big one! To learn more about Cleidocranial Dysplasia and how you can help those with the condition you can go to ccdsmiles.org.”<\/p>\n

His followers quickly left the young star tons of “get well soon” messages in the comment section of his post. Among them was Millie Bobby Brown<\/a><\/strong>, who wrote, “Good luck love!!! sending my love gate.” Carla Buono<\/strong>, who plays Karen Wheeler on the Netflix drama, also commented, “Sending you supernova good vibes. Love you.” Fellow Stranger Things<\/em> co-star Matty Cardarpole<\/strong> also chimed in: “You’re super brave and strong man. Good vibes to you.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Back in March 2019, the talented teen shared a similar selfie to announce that he’d be undergoing surgery no. 3. And in 2017, he took to Instagram before getting oral surgery. He wrote, “Yo dudes! A little pre-op pic before my oral surgery today. One step closer to having my own real teeth eventually. @ccd_smiles.”<\/p>\n

In the past, Gaten has spoken candidly about his experience with CDD and even insisted that his Stranger Things character Dustin also have the disorder as well.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“It affects your facial growth, your skull growth; it affects your teeth, so that’s why I don’t have any,” he said back in 2016 during a visit to The Jonathan Ross Show<\/em>. “I feel like putting it into the show is really raising awareness for it.”<\/p>\n

He added, “I just want to raise awareness for it and let people know that it’s not something they should be afraid of showing.”<\/p>\n

We’re wishing Gaten a speedy recovery!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
