The history of plastic surgery began more than 4,000 years ago. It is the surgical discipline that employs techniques to reconstruct and modify the appearance and function of facial and body tissues.

Plastic comes from the Greek word "plastikos," which means to shape or mold.

We bring back, refashion and restore to wholeness the
Features which nature gave but chance destroyed,
Not so much that they may charm the eye
But that they may be an advantage to the living soul . . .

The end for which the physician is working is that
The features should fulfill their offices according to nature's decree…"

Gaspare Tagliocozzi, 1597
De Curtorum Chirurgia per Insitionem
