History of plastic surgery

Operations on change of outward of the person in this or that look existed, since the period of an extreme antiquity. Already B.C. surgeons cared for beautiful outward of postoperative seams about what entries in papyruses meet. In India the first surgeons corrected a shape of a nose, using skin of cheeks or a forehead.

Long time did not practice in Europe surgical change of outward, till the 17th century single descriptions of such operations meet. In the period of domination of inquisition for attempts to change an appearance of the person doctors suffered persecution and prosecutions.

In Renaissance the plastic surgery was allocated in the separate industry of medicine and acquired the status of "beauty surgery". The founder she is considered Gaspar Tallacozzi from Italy. At the time of wide circulation of severe forms of syphilis he developed a technique of recovery of a nose.

The modern plastic surgery began to develop in the 19th century when special instruments and techniques of operations were thought up and developed. Besides emergence of antiseptic agents gave more broad lands for skin transplantation, cartilages and other fabrics.

Snowballing of this industry began after World War I when there was a great number of the mutilated people who needed not only recovery of the lost functions of the damaged parts of a body, but also outward improvement. During this period many new effective techniques including maxillofacial surgery are developed.

After World War II ways of a local anesthesia were improved that performed plastic surgeries safer and available.
