Facial Plastic surgery is a field of medicine that specializes in performing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery on the face, head and neck regions. Probably the historical roots of plastic surgery began in ancient Egypt. Tose who had been wounded in war had visible scars and severe physical trauma. Birth defects and damage suffered in war began to be treated with surgery. Around the 1st century, Romans performed some operations on injured soldiers, but, due to religious reason reconstructive surgery was not approved.
Procedures for repairing damaged noses were developed in Italy during the Renaissance. The techniques for using anesthesia and the use of antibiotics were introduced during the 19th century. At that point, elective surgery became possible and saber. Plastic surgery really expanded upon during World War I and World War II . At that time, the only facial techniques in use were reconstruction of noses and jaws, and plastic surgeons were few. The results from these surgeries showed that the procedures not only helped people recover from injuries but also improved their appearance. Advances in surgical sedation further enhanced the practice of plastic surgery. Then, new sedation procedures further enhanced the practice of plastic surgery enabling it to meet the requirements of the modern age.
Today, facial surgery is considered a medical specialty that requires a degree in medicine, surgical training and continuous medical updating. The point of plastic surgery is to improve the quality of life of their patients, providing active human care with professional technical expertise of a high standard. Respect for patient based on ethical principles are fundamental parts of this medical practice.
