The word plastic is derived from the Greek word PLASTIKOS, which means to mold or shape. Although plastic surgery has been practiced for many centuries in various parts of the world, cosmetic surgery, which deals specifically with the enhancement of physical appearance, is not so ancient. In fact, it has been only in the past few decades that this branch of plastic surgery has gained momentum in the medical arena and become socially acceptable.

Our modern social norms allow us to enhance our self-image and physical appearance without the fear of being wrongly judged. In the past it was thought that plastic surgery was only for celebrities or famous people who needed to look good for their status or profession. Today almost everyone knows of a friend or relative who has had a cosmetic procedure to improve his or her appearance. More and more people are taking advantage of surgical procedures to restore their physical appearance or to improve a trait that has always been a cause of low self-esteem. Youthfulness and health are qualities that have become the driving force of the 21st century and form the basic fabric of our society.
