Portraits of two innovative plastic surgeons in the National Portrait Gallery

摘要

lt must at all times be kept in mind that the most important person is昀rst,last,and all the time the patient.[1]-Archibald Mclndoe As a medical doctor,when l visit a gallery or museum,l look for portraits of medical doctors.During my stay in London,l visited the National Portrait Gallery,where l happened to see the portraits of two famous plastic surgeons:Sir Harold Delf Gillies(1882-1960,Figure 1)and Sir Archibald Hector Mclndoe(1900-1960,Figure 2).The name“Gillies”caught my eye because the approach named after him is one of the indirect approaches for the reduction of the zygomatic arch(Gillies:temporal;Keen:transoral;and Dingman:lateral brow).
