Reconstructive Surgery
While not everyone requires reconstructive surgery for non-cosmetic reasons, facial focused surgery of this kind is only possible thanks to advancements made in the civil war during the early 1860’s. A historic reconstruction conducted by the founding father of plastic surgery, Dr. Gurdon Buck, helped to usher in a new era of surgery. At the time, him and his team completed over 30 reconstructions, which led to other surgeons around the country learning how to do it too.
