PLASTIC SURGERY TO-DAY

EXTENSIVELY USED. Ridding Patients of Deformities. Special.—By Air Mail. London, March 20. A plastic operation will, it is hoped, save from permanent' disfigurement Miss Daisy Kennedy, the Australian violinist, the wife of the late Mr John Drinkwater, poet and dramatist'. She suffered severe cuts in the face from flying glass in a motor accident. The operation -was carried out by Sir Harold Gillies, the celebrated New Zealand specialist, who restored the faces of many men mutilated in the war. Plastic surgery is being extensively developed to res-ore not only those who have been disfigured by accident, but children born with defects like cleft lip, disfiguring moles or ear abnormalities. “The loss of nose, lips, ears or other specialised structures, whether as the result of accident or disease, can usually be made good,” states Sir Harold Gillies, in a recent issue of the Lancet. People will suffer gladly to be rid of their deformity. A return to normal not only relieves them of great mental distress, but may also help to cure the chronic ill-health that very often goes with acute sensitiveness.
