For day #1 I'd like to start with one of my favorite patients in his book Plastic Surgery Of The Face. Case #14 Private Walter Ashworth. In the battle of the Somme, Ashworth received a very extensive cheek wound. Gillies used existing tissue to create a cheek. To create an evenly sized face, he sacrificed lip length. This case is a also great example for early dental prothstetics used to encourage bone growth and early cheek reconstruction.
