During Suzanne Noël's childhood in the Saint-Martin district, life revolved around the abbey and its hospital: was this the element that triggered her vocation for medicine? She began studying medicine in 1905 and did her externship and internship in Paris hospitals.
She made her mark in a field that was still in its infancy: cosmetic surgery, creating numerous techniques, including facelifts, and the instruments to perform them. She remains most famous for her devotion to the war-wounded with head injuries, the famous Gueules Cassées.
