Cosmetic surgery reaches back to the ancient world. As early as the 8th century BC physicians were performing skin grafts for nose reconstruction, using a portion of the forehead, during periods where amputation of the nose was a punishment for certain crimes.

In the 1st century BC the Romans were able to perform simple techniques such as repairing damaged ears.
In 15th century Europe, the first nose reconstruction took place but it wasn't until the 19th century that such operations became common place.
During the 1st world war many of the techniques of modern plastic surgery were performed by Sir Harold Gillies on those who had suffered facial injuries during battle and in the 2nd world war his cousin Archibald McIndoe expanded upon his work by pioneering treatments for burns injuries to RAF airmen.

Cosmetic Surgery is big business nowadays. It has become more affordable and socially acceptable in this modern world. Especially with the advent of the 'celebrity' more and more women are turning to their cosmetic surgeons in an attempt to change their look.
