The Birth of Face Making
As chronicled by the bestseller, The Facemaker by Lindsay Fitzharris, modern plastic surgery has its roots in one of the great tragedies of human history: World War I. Technological advances in early 20th-century weaponry were leaving many survivors with badly disfigured faces that were difficult even for their closest loved ones to behold. Fortunately for many of those survivors, visionary surgeons used their ingenuity, surgical skill, and what would now be considered rudimentary medical knowledge, to reconstruct the human face – a stunning achievement that was previously unthinkable.

While modern-day procedures such as face lifts might seem like minor matters in comparison to reconstructing an injured soldier’s face, the truth is that changing the appearance of any area of the human body, but especially the face, requires a great deal of delicacy and ability.
