Cosmetic surgery is a branch of plastic surgery, which aims to improve the physical appearance of a person. Among the popular cosmetic surgeries are breast enlargements or breast reductions, tummy tuck, body parts augmentation like the buttock, chin, and cheek, and liposuction. Breast augmentation is done for a woman who feels that her breasts are smaller and wants to enhance their sizes. The reason behind this may be aesthetic that is to improve the contours of the body or for health reasons. While tummy tuck requires the reshaping and firming of the abdomen by removing some skins and fats, liposuction means removing fats from the parts of the body aside from the abdomen like thighs, neck, and hips. For cheek augmentation, the method aims to give the patient better looking cheekbones and the same for chin augmentation.
Cosmetic surgery, also known by the term plastic surgery, is derived from the Greek word, "plastikos," which means to mold or to shape. It has been around for ages. By 2000 BC, reconstructive surgeries have been performed in India specifically rhinoplasties with the use of native methods. During World War I, there has been a surge in cosmetic surgeries performed. Soldiers with deformed faces caused by the war were place under the knife so restore their malformed faces back to normal. During the 1st century, the Egyptians and Romans were also able to do easy and simple techniques like repairing damaged ears. During these times, plastic surgeries where done for the sake of a person's health and well-being and not for vanity reasons.
