John H. Woodbury and his 19th century cosmetic surgery empire

Cosmetic facial surgeons need to know the name of Dr. John H. Woodbury, a 19th century dermatologic surgeon that pioneered facelifts, blepharoplasties, browlifts, and multiple other cosmetic surgeries decades before other cosmetic surgeons. Woodbury is only known for his trademarked soap (sold for $200,000 to Jergens in 1903) that he heavily advertised. However, he also advertised multiple cosmetic procedures in newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets, but did not publish in the academic journals. Reviews of these lay articles and illustrations (see multiple figures) show he correctly designed skin and soft tissue operations for effective cosmetic surgery of the face.
