Overview of Plastic Surgery
If you're thinking about surgery to enhance your appearance, it's essential to understand both the historical and current context of plastic surgery.
Understanding Plastic Surgery
Plastic surgery often gets a varied reception. Advocates highlight its benefits, while critics voice concerns. Here, we present some unbiased facts about this field.
Historical Background
Plastic surgery has ancient roots. Susrutha, an Indian surgeon from the 8th century BC, is considered the first known plastic surgeon, specializing in nose reconstruction. The Romans also engaged in procedures to alter ear appearances. In the U.S., John P. Mettauer is recognized as the pioneer of plastic surgery in the 1820s. The term "plastic" comes from the Greek word "plastikos," meaning to mold.
Modern Developments
Today, plastic surgery is a popular way to change one's appearance. The most common procedures include liposuction, breast surgery, rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), eyelid lifts, tummy tucks, and facelifts. Over the past decade, the number of procedures has quadrupled, thanks to growing societal acceptance and media publicity.
Demographics
While plastic surgery is often associated with women, who make up about 80% of patients, the trend among men is rising. Men frequently opt for liposuction, rhinoplasty, tummy tucks, and lifts. Interestingly, although men typically avoid breast enlargements, breast reductions have seen a rise in popularity.
Teenagers are also increasingly undergoing plastic surgery, focusing mainly on skin-related procedures like skin peels and microdermabrasion, which make up more than half of all procedures for those under 18.
Historically, plastic surgery was not as common. However, increased media exposure and more affordable prices have contributed to its widespread popularity today.
