Contrary to the common belief that plastic surgery involves the use of plastics and other man made materials, the real origin of the word plastic in plastic surgery originates back from a Greek word plastikos which simply means to mould into shape. On the other hand the term surgery also comes from another Greek word Khirourgos meaning handwork. Its thus not automatic to relate the word plastics with plastic surgery.

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.

A total of about 10 % of the people who undergo plastic surgery account for men, while women account for 90% of the people who demand these services. Nose reshaping and augmentation of the breasts are the most popular forms of plastic surgery witnessed today.

This relieved most of the plastic surgeons and also their patients. The bill also saw the implementation of a cover against the augmentation against achieving symmetry between the two breasts.
