Self-experimentation or how Paul Tessier became Homo masticans
Paul Tessier (1917 - 2008) was a world renown and charismatic surgeon, the father of craniofacial surgery encompassing ENT, neurosurgery, orbital, maxillofacial and plastic surgery . Tessier was a pioneer developing new surgical techniques after lengthy studies of malformed skulls and self-criticism during surgery. He spent hours studying Crouzon malformations and other cranial malformations, amassing a vast cranium collection enabling him to devise new reconstructive techniques (the Tessier collection is currently preserved in Amiens, France).
