Plastic surgery is a branch of surgery that involves the repair or replacement of malformed, injured or lost members or tissues of the body. The plastic surgery has two more major branches: the reconstructive and the cosmetic surgery. These types of plastic surgery differ from one to another in one main way: the reconstructive surgery is made to help reconstruct an injured tissue or a birth defect while the cosmetic plastic surgery deals only with form or appearance.
I will now present a short history lesson about plastic surgery. Although plastic surgery goes far as Ancient Egypt, the first real plastic surgery doctors were two Sicilians: Gustav and Antonio Branka.
They were father and son and they have managed to put the first brick on the plastic surgery wall by making basic guidelines which plastic surgeons should follow when doing a reconstructive nose surgery. The first man to actually create a center for Plastic surgery was another Italian: Taliakosi. But the main develop in plastic surgery was during the World War I and II because of the huge number of soldiers with body and facial disfigurations. Reconstructive plastic surgery has been in some cases able to correct these injuries and regain functional abilities of those parts of the body. From then to now it has been in a constant evolution catalyzed by scientific achievements.
It is important to know that in the 80' plastic surgery had for many people a single meaning: breast enhancements.
This is why more and more women were asking for that kind of plastic surgery procedure. But really, plastic surgery is much more than that.
Nowadays, the plastic surgery is one of the most profitable businesses out there. Cosmetic surgery has now become more fashionable and it plays a great role in the mainstream.
It is known that almost every Hollywood celebrity has used in some way plastic surgery.
In our modern society that puts a high price on an individual look, plastic surgery helps people getting a nice outward appearance along with self-confidence.

The Liquid Facelift Has Arrived
Austin, TX (ContentDesk) April 21, 2004 -? Dr. Gregory Nikolaidis of Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery is one of only a few select physicians in Texas chosen to use Sculptra, a product created by Dermik Laboratories.
Already commonly used throughout Europe, Sculptra is known as the "liquid facelift."
Patients are able to safely and non-surgically receive the benefits of traditional facelifts through the product's effect of plumping up the skin.During the Sculptra procedure, a patient is numbed with topical numbing cream and given a series of injections in the desired area.
The material used in Sculptra is lactic acid, the substance that is naturally produced by muscles during exercise.

Unlike other fillers, such as Restylane and Cosmoplast, which last...

Surgical Facelifts Remain the Gold Standard for Facial Rejuvenation
Face-lifting techniques are constantly being revised and updated by many prominent plastic surgeons throughout the world.
A recent trend has been towards less invasive, less risky procedures alternately known as "Short-scar" or "Mini-facelifts."
At the Center For Cosmetic Surgery, Andrew Wolfe M.D. and Steven Vath M.D. have embraced the new developments in an effort to decrease the cost, risk, and recovery associated with facial rejuvenation surgery.
While full facelifts are still indicated for patients with profound signs of facial aging, many patients seeking to lessen the effects of age are candidates for a Mini-facelift.

Almost everyone I know is scared of going to the dentist. What most of us don't understand is that dentistry is not that painful when you are under the effect of an anesthetic. Dental surgery involves all kinds of interventions that have to do with gum procedures, pulling teeth, root canals and even surgeries executed for cosmetic reasons. A qualified dentist has to train for about five years in an accredited dental college or school. After he has graduated he has to continue his training with some more specialized coursework.
