time results are disastrous. Here are some pics showing some of
disasters of cosmetic surgery .
Random Facts About . . .
Plastic Surgery
1. “Plastic” is derived from the Greek plasikos, meaning
“to mold.” The term “surgery” is derived the Greek kheirourgos,
from kheir - “hand” + ergon - “work.”
2. The first recorded “nose job” is found in ancient
Indian Sanskrit texts (600 B.C.).c Physicians would reconstruct
noses by cutting skin from either the cheek or forehead,
twisting the skin side out over a leaf of the appropriate size,
and sewing the skin into place. Two polished wooden tubes would
be inserted into the nostrils to keep the air passage open
during healing.
3. By the first century B.C., Romans were practicing
various forms of plastic surgery to repair noses, eyes, lips,
and teeth. Roman physician Cornelius Celsus (c. 25 B.C.-A.D. 50)
also describes procedures such as circumcision reversal and even
breast reduction in men.
4. A popular procedure in ancient Rome was scar removal,
particularly scars on the back which were marks of shame because
they suggested a man had turned his back in battle—or worse, he
had been whipped like a slave. Foreigners would also have
plastic surgery to fit better into Roman society.

5. During the Middle Ages, plastic surgery was typically
deemed pagan and sinful because the spilling of blood by a
surgeon and the power the surgeon had over the body were akin to
magic.
6. When plastic surgery became popular during the
Renaissance, surgeons took skin grafts from various donors, such
as a neighbor’s pig, but were confused when the new nose would
shrivel up and fall off. They concluded the flesh was
“sympathetic,” meaning that the graft died when its original
owner died.
7. Many plastic surgeries in the early Renaissance were
performed in barber shops.
8. Italian Gaspare Tagliacozzi (1546-1599) is widely
considered the “father of modern plastic surgery.” His text book
De curtorum chirugiau noted the need for plastic surgery due to
duels and street fights, as well as a pervasive outbreak of
syphilis which destroyed the nose. His “virtual” nose, however,
could fall off if the user blew too hard, and young women with
reconstructed noses were hardly objects of desire.
9. Tagliacozzi was an atypical plastic surgeon during the
Renaissance because he did not view illness, such as the
syphilitic nose, as divine punishment. Instead he used the
vocabulary of humanists such as Giovanni Francesco Pico della
Mirandola (1463-94) to justify his surgical innovations as
autonomous self-remaking. Tagliacozzi’s work disappeared mainly
as a result of the Counterreformation.
10. In 1794, British surgeons witnessed an Indian brick layer
repair the nose of a British cattle driver who had his nose and
hand cut off while a prisoner of the sultan. British surgeons
imported the procedure back to northern Europe where interest
rapidly grew.
11. Karl Ferdinand Graefe (1787-1840) coined the term “plastic
surgery” in his 1818 text Rhinoplastik. He also attempted to
remove the moral stigma associated with nose reconstruction by
giving the procedure a classical name—rhinoplasty—to make it
more similar to other surgical procedures.
12. Surgeons who served in WWI established the American
Association of Plastic Surgery in 1931 and helped curtail
unregulated plastic surgery.b They are the largest plastic
surgery specialty organization in the world.
World War II
WWII played a significant role in advancing plastic
surgery techniques
13. WWII ushered in plastic surgery techniques that included
rebuilding entire limbs, extensive skin grafts, microsurgery,
antibodies, and increased knowledge about tissue health.
14. Silicone breast implants grew in popularity in the 1960s.
Show girls would inject their breasts with liquid silicone, a
substance initially used in Japan in WWI to plump out legs
withered by polio. Unfortunately, they could suffer dangerous
side effects, such as amputation of the breast due to infection
and guaranteed “pendulous” breasts by the time they reached 40.
15. In Nazi Germany, some forms of reconstructive surgery were
mandated to enable the “too ugly” solder to become a “real”
soldier. Benito Mussolini’s (1880-1945) Italy also used plastic
surgery to increase the performance of military officers, such
as correcting drooping eyelids.
16. The first modern breast augmentation took place on
November 24, 1893, in Heidelberg, Germany, by Vincent Czerny.
His patient was a 41-year-old singer who had a growth in her
breast removed. Luckily, the patient had a growth (lipoma) on
her back, which was harvested and transplanted to her breast.
She was discharged on December 20, 1893.
17. In 1998, Bill Clinton signed a bill which required
insurance companies to cover the cost of reconstructive breast
surgery for women who had undergone a mastectomy.
18. In a year, there are more than 11.5 million plastic
surgery procedures performed, an increase of 50% from 2000. The
overall number of plastic surgery procedures has increased 457%
since the collection of statistic first began.
19. The most popular performed procedure is Botox, which is a
protein derived from the botulism toxin. It is injected into the
skin to paralyze facial muscles, giving the recipient a smooth
facial appearance. The effects of the procedure typically wear
off after three to six months.
20. The most popular surgery for men and women combined in a
year is liposuction. The most popular surgery for women alone is
breast augmentation, with liposuction coming in second.
21. Women constituted 91% of plastic surgery patients in a year,
though the number of men receiving plastic surgery increased
17%.
22. Americans spent $13.2 billion on plastic surgery in a year
23. Two-thirds of plastic surgery patients are repeat
patients, and more than five million Americans may be addicted
to plastic surgery. One example of such addiction, 48-year-old
Hang Mioku was left disfigured after she injected her own face
with cooking oil.f
24. Modern plastic surgeons are exploring the potential of
cloning technology as a method of body rejuvenation and are
looking into the secrets of the growth within the womb where
scar-less growth and healing take place.
25. Big Tent Books published a new picture book by plastic
surgeon Michael Salzhauer titled My Beautiful Mommy that
explains to kids why mom is getting a flatter tummy.
