Many people mistakenly believe that the specialty of Plastic Surgery takes its name from the use of silicone and other manmade materials such as plastic to achieve reconstructive goals. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The term plastic surgery comes from the Greek word plastikos which means to mold or to give form. Many of the early recorded efforts in surgery were attempts to restore normal form to body parts that had been altered due to injury.
Procedures that we would classify as Plastic Surgery today were being carried out before the birth of Christ. Plastic surgical procedures fall into two major subdivisions: reconstructive and cosmetic.
