Because human beings have always sought self-fulfilment through self-improvement, plastic surgery - improving and restoring form and function - may be one of the world's oldest healing arts. In fact, written evidence cites medical treatment for facial injuries more than 4,000 years ago. Physicians in ancient India were utilizing skin grafts for reconstructive work as early as 800 B.C.
However, it wasn't until the 19th and 20th centuries that the specialty forged ahead both scientifically and within the medical establishment in both Europe and the United States . For better or worse, the driving force behind most plastic surgery developments during the late 1800s and early 1900s was war, with the awful injuries it often inflictson its participants.
Despite the popular misconception, the word "plastic" in "plastic surgery" does not mean "artificial," but is derived from the ancient Greek work "plastikos," which means to mould or give form. Plastic surgery includes both the reconstructive and aesthetic subspecialties.
