Charles Conrad Miller

Charles Conrad Miller was an American physician and medical writer born in 1880. Surviving catalog records and public-domain editions confirm that he published The Correction of Featural Imperfections in 1907, with the cover title Cosmetic Surgery, and The Cure of Rupture by Paraffin Injections in 1908.

A later biographical article in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery described him as a "featural surgeon," a phrase that fits the focus of his work on altering facial features and appearance. His books suggest he was working at a moment when cosmetic procedures were beginning to be presented to readers in a direct, practical way rather than as a medical curiosity.

Because the easily accessible sources found here are limited, it is safest to keep the picture brief: Miller appears in the historical record mainly through these early surgical texts and later commentary on his place in the history of plastic surgery. He died in 1950.
