The origin of the word plastic surgery can put one who has been misunderstanding it, distant from the belief that plastic surgery is nothing but dealing with plastics on the human body. The word plastic in plastic surgery comes from a Greek word plastikos simply meaning to mould or to shape. The word surgery transcends from another Greek word Khirourgos, which means handwork. This helps you understand that the term does not necessarily have to imply the use of plastics.

Plastic surgery is the oldest method of all surgeries to have ever been performed since time in memorial. The first type of plastic surgery, dating back to 1000 BC In the Peruvian Times. Indians on the other hand practiced reconstructive surgery on victims who lost part of their body organs, such as the nose, ears or even those whose skin was damaged.

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.
