What is Plastic Surgery?
The term “plastic surgery” was coined as it derived from the Greek word “plastikos” which means to mould. Originally reconstructive surgeries were developed to correct congenital deformities or injuries sustained in accidents that have caused disfigurement. It is important to note that plastic surgery is a very important aspect of medicine that has helped millions of people feel “normal” and has helped them live a happier life without ridicule or excessive self-consciousness. In the last hundred years or so plastic surgery has slowly developed a sector that although in theory and technically is the same treatments and procedures that are used for medical purposes are applied for aesthetic reasons. In other words, the rich and famous started to pay plastics surgeons to perform plastic surgery that would make them look more beautiful or stay looking younger for longer. Today, after many years of research developments and the discovery of innovative methods there is now an abundance of procedures and treatments both large, small, invasive and non-invasive that can enhance and rejuvenate a person’s physical appearance. As not all these treatments involve surgery, the modern term is aesthetic medicine.
