What Wikipedia says

Sir Harold Delf Gillies (17 June 1882 – 10 September 1960) was the father of modern plastic surgery for the techniques he devised to repair the faces of wounded soldiers returning from World War I. He initially trained as an otolaryngologist and subsequently developed reconstructive techniques that culminated in the advent of plastic surgery.
