 Aristotle - Harold Gillies
Harold Gillies, (1882 - 1960), is universally regarded as the father of plastic surgery.
Gillies developed the branch of medicine we know as plastic surgery; he pioneered techniques, many of them still used today; he developed instruments to use in his operations; he shared his skills and insights with medics from all over the world, helping many countries to establish their skill base for this emerging field.
This innovation, in Gillies’ words, created “a tube of living tissue which would increase the blood supply to grafts, close them to infection, and be far less liable to contract or degenerate as the older methods were”.
