CHAPTER V

" THE course of his career, any plastic
surgeon could play Pygmalion to in
y Vulnerable GalateaS whom he endows
with beauty-or its Semblance-and new life
The public may think of plastic surgery
only in connection with the face, but the
modern plastic surgeon is preoccupied
with remodeling the body as well.
Operations to improve body contours are
now as commonplace as those to reShape
The leg and ankle-or the nose
One of the most common fallacies about
plastic surgery is the widespread belief that
II is confined entirely 10 women. Stuff and
nonsense! Even before World War ii and
its resultant demand on plastic ingenuity to
help the wounded soldier 40 per cent of
my practice was composed of men. And in
that connection ! have often wondered
how another popular misconception-tha
women are the vain sex-ever arose!
Only recently, well.known member of
Congress came from Washington to consult
me about plastic help for his football nose,
which had been bent and broken lament
ably and deformed badly during the years
ne was stellar pigskin artist
The Honorable Member of the House
was little sheepish about the whole mat
ter at first. Little by little he told me his
story. He was up for reelection that year
and his opponent was handsome, younger
man whose looks might win votes.
Dammit all, Doctor" he finally burst
out you've got TO remember that women
also vote!"
Wen, he has new nose now, for which
me ladies' may vote If they are so inclined
If a plastic surgeon at times plays
lygmalon, he is cast more frequently in
ne role of an unwilling Cupid.
Sometimes he is deliberately used in
this role; at other times romance is the
eventual byproduct of his skill.
Even when a patient comes 10 a plastic
surgeon with the specific intent of i'm.
proving his romantic chances, he is sci.
dom willing TO admit it. However, if his
plans succeed in SO cases out OF 100. he
cannot resist coming back to boast of his
triumph to the surgeon!
Some years ago a pretty woman came
