The first person who made a plastic operation.

The first person who made a plastic operation is called walter Yeo `s. English Officer that during the first world war was disfigured in an explosion during a naval battle at Jutland in 1916.In 1917 the officer was treated by Sir Harold Gillies, the father of plastic surgery because he was the first surgeon to use skin from undamaged areas on the body.
Sir Harold opened a specialist ward for the treatment of the facially-wounded.
Warrant Officer Yeo is thought to be the first patient to benefit from the newly developed technique "a form of skin grafting technically known as 'tubed pedical'." Sir Harold said that plastic surgery was developed to cope with the new and horrific injuries resulting from the unprecedented firepower deployed in the war.We know very little about this man but there is record that he continues to make plastic operations until 1936.

As we can see the plastic surgery was creat to save wounds of war, very different from what we see on the television series.
