Saving Faces: A Plastic Surgeon's Remarkable Story

After a brilliant career spanning fifty years, D. Ralph Millard, M.D., was voted one of the most important plastic surgeons of the millennium by his colleagues. Trained by the "godfather of plastic surgery," Harold Gillies, Millard pioneered new techniques for correcting cleft lips and many other procedures. In his lavishly illustrated autobiography, Millard remembers his own development and his most remarkable cases, surveys the development of modern plastic surgery, and discusses beauty and form. He also recounts his family life, including his marriage to Barbara Millard, his practice in Miami, Florida, and the births of his three children, Duke, Bond and Meleney.
