The first ever facial reconstruction!


These chilling images are from a soldier who was hit by a bullet in WWI. An operation like this today would cost close to half a million dollars at a licensed plastic surgeon in the United States! You have to admit they did a pretty good job considering the medical advancement stage they were in.. 


This is one of the first ever Facial reconstruction surgeries ever done, on patient Willie Vicarage. 




They took a flap of skin from his chest and put it on his chin, and gave him some dentures.
