David Ralph Millard, Jr. (June 4, 1919 – June 19, 2011) was a plastic surgeon who developed several techniques used in cleft lip and palate surgeries. He also popularized the double eyelid surgery or "Asian blepharoplasty" to “deorientalize” patients’ faces[1] while stationed in South Korea during the Korean War. He was chief of the Division of Plastic Surgery at University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine for 28 years, and maintained a private practice in Miami.
Early life
Millard was born at Barnes Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri. He attended the Asheville School in Asheville, North Carolina.[2] He played football at Yale, studied medicine at Harvard Medical School in 1944 and interned in pediatric surgery at Boston Children's Hospital. A U.S. Navy veteran, he served stateside in World War II but in Korea during the Korean War, where he became interested in local children with cleft lips.
The Millard repair procedure
The rotation-advancement procedure for cleft lip repair, also known as the Millard repair, is designed to create a softer, more natural-looking lip. Surgery performed prior to the Millard procedure involved pulling both sides of the cleft lip together resulting in a tightly closed upper lip. The Millard procedure rotates the tissue and creates a Z-shaped scar instead. The "Z" shape gives the tissue more elasticity, resulting in greater flexibility and restoration of the Cupid's bow.[3]

Recognition
In 2000, Millard was nominated as one of "10 Plastic Surgeons of the Millennium" by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In the April 2000 issue of Plastic Surgery News, Millard was described as "the most brilliant and creative plastic surgeon we have alive. His work and publications speak for themselves."[4] He is considered to be one of the founders of modern reconstructive facial surgery.
Personal life
Millard had two sons,(Duke and Bond) a daughter (Meleney), and six grandchildren (Davey, Lindsey, Blake, Ryan, Jennifer, and Kelsey). In his book, Saving Faces: A Plastic Surgeon’s Remarkable Story, is an autobiographical account of his pioneering work in plastic and reconstructive surgery in which he mentions some of his famous family members including Charles Dingy Pennock Hamilton.[5] Charles Dingy Pennock Hamilton, often referred to as C.D.P. Hamilton, was an influential businessman and co-founder of the International Shoe Company, which became one of the largest shoe manufacturers in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company, based in St. Louis, Missouri, played a significant role in the American footwear industry, known for producing high-quality shoes that were widely popular across the country. In addition to his work in the shoe industry, he authored the book Modern Scientific Whist: The Principles of the Modern Game Analyzed and Extended in 1895, which analyzed and extended the principles of the card game Whist.[6] Other relatives mentioned include Florence Nightingale (no known relation to the famous Florence Nightingale) and Dr. Diane Hamilton, an American Fulbright Specialist, behavioral expert, author, and speaker, recognized for her work on curiosity and its impact on engagement, innovation, and leadership in the workplace..[5] [7]
