Modern plastic surgery began during World War 1. Its aim was to help the thousands of wounded soldiers who needed physical reconstruction. Surgeons developed techniques to reconstruct damaged parts of the body and facial features. 

As the years went by, surgeons began to use similar techniques for healthy people who wished to look better or younger. In the past, it was generally people in the show business or millionnaires who had a face lift or acquired a new nose. Thanks to advances in medical techniques, reduction in cost and wide publicity, more and more people turn to plastic surgeons for help.

These operations are not, however, risk – free. There is always the chance of an unexpected complication. Therefore, people should turn to a plastic surgeon only after serious consideration, having weighed all aspects of the issue.
