In the third series of Channel Five's 'Extraordinary People' one episode follows the work of Facing the World in Vietnam.
Craniofacial surgeons, Niall Kirkpatrick and Simon Eccles, travel to Danang General Hospital to assess and treat patients with a variety of craniofacial conditions. The film is still available on Demand Five.

Tic TOC
There is never enough time! Keeping up with the lastest plastic surgery publications is challenging. To make it easier a number of plastics journals will deliver their electronic table of contents (eTOC) to your inbox.
Fortunately, they are staggered through the month so you won't be overloaded. I currently receive eTOCs for the following:
European Journal of Plastic Surgery
Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery (JPRAS)
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (PRS)
The Canadian Journal of Plastic Surgery
The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery
Talking of 'time', the new Corpus Clock in Cambridge is worth a visit. . . . .

History of Plastic Surgery
Just came across this website on the history of plastic surgery from the 'Carl Ferdinand Von Graefe Institute'. It has collections of references related to the history of particular conditions, techniques and famous plastic surgeons. I get the feeling it is still very much a work in progress . . . .
