Plastic surgery operations were first performed in Egypt and in India, several thousands of years ago. The era of present day plastic surgery, however, began after the First World War - when skins of millions of people had been devastated by burns and scars. Moreover, by then anaesthesia and antiseptics had revolutionised the scope of surgery. The type of work done by plastic surgeons falls into 2 main categories : 1. Work done to repair burnt, wounded or distorted tissues - this is known as reconstructive plastic surgery. 2. Surgery to make an individual more attractive - this is cosmetic or aesthetic surgery.
