just did a google. look at this:

Dr. Parfitt sought to obtain the best training program in otolaryngology for facial cosmetic surgery. Much to his surprise, he discovered that military training programs perform the most facial cosmetic surgery. The reasons for this are as follows: 1) Facial cosmetic surgery was free-of-charge to military personnel and their families, 2) facial cosmetic surgery, even cosmetic surgery, is necessary preparation for treating war-time skin and scalp wounds as well as facial fractures and tissue trauma. Every approach used to repair facial trauma and fractures has a counterpart in cosmetic facial surgery and vice versa. Therefore this training was considered necessary and essential for military wartime preparation . 3) Since the supervisory surgeons in military surgical training programs were on salary and were paid no extra for doing the surgery themselves, the training resident was allowed to perform almost ALL of the surgery themselves.
