Essential Information On Plastic Surgery

By Jamal D White


Lately, plastic surgery has become a household name, thanks to the many issues arising on topics related to plastic surgery procedures. Presently, cosmetic surgery and non-surgical procedures have become so much in demand across the globe. Before you give plastic surgery a second thought, it is good that you make sure you get the right information regarding plastic surgery.

For the sake of consumer information and the public some doctors have come up with informative facts to assist in eliminating much of the hearsays about plastic surgery. The information has been generally welcomed across the medical field and society in general. People are now learning about plastic surgery concerning the pre-cautions, the effects and the advantages and how to go about it in terms of decision-making.

Far away from the general belief that that plastic surgery is the use of plastics. The genesis of the word plastic surgery can be traced back to time in ancient Greek whereby the word comes from a Greek word plastikos meaning to shape up and surgery from Khirourgos meaning crafting using the hands. This gives an insight to the common belief that it is all about putting plastics in the body.

Plastic surgery is one of the earliest forms of surgery to be ever performed on humans. It dates back to 1000BC. Indians also in the old times used to do plastic surgery on patients who had their noses, ears and other body parts disfigured due accidents, punishments or war.

Surgeons who took part in the World War One, established The American Association of Plastic surgery and were vibrant in fighting to stop unregulated plastic surgery procedures. The innovations on plastic surgery began during World War, as the number injured people were huge. A need arose to see soldiers who had damaged part of their bodies get back to their former or near normal. This has led to new developments and innovations on plastic surgery to date.

Reshaping of the nose and augmentation of the breast are the most popular types of plastic surgery done today all over the world. Only ten percent of the total plastic surgery cases done daily in the world are performed on men. Women take the large share on demanding plastic surgery services.

President Bill Clinton put a bill in the United States stating that plastic surgery be covered under an insurance policy, forward. This was a great relieve to both the plastic surgeons and their patients. The bill also covered breast augmentation for achieving symmetry between two breasts.

There is a big difference between certification of a cosmetic surgery and that of a plastic surgery. A plastic surgeon has to undergo a post-graduate training before certification while a cosmetic surgeon only needs to under-go residency training to be certified. This is to show that there is a big distinction in the two almost similar fields that are quite often mis-interpreted. Knowing this will enable you look for the appropriate professional for whatever service you are looking for.
