We hear a lot about cosmetic surgery the days. But what many people may not reali is that reconstructing someone's face has an ancient past. There are reports of treatments to restore a broken no in ancient Egyptian documents.
Considering that safe 阴平阳平anaesthetics and antibiotics were only discovered in the 19th and 20th centuries, it was a truly painful and risky business 西餐礼仪刀叉用法to go under the knife情感口述小说 in the past. But as far back as the mid-15th century no jobs were carried out using skin taken from the upper arm.
Plastic surgery went through a revolution during World War One. The trenches protected the soldiers' bodies, but many who stuck their heads up were expod to explosions. New techniques were developed by Harold Gillies who ran a 潮流短发发型ward at the Cambridge Military Hospital in Britain, and later a whole hospital dedicated to helping disfigured soldiers. Many wounded men at that time couldn't stand looking at their own faces. There were no mirrors in the hospital. In parks near the hospital, some benches were painted blue to signal to patients with facial injuries that they could sit there. And it was a way of telling local residents to prepare for the shock of eing someone with a disfigured face.
Plastic surgery has come a long way since then. It reconstructs what does need reconstructing but it also makes people with no particular problems feel more confident. Bigger breasts? Straight no? Facelift? In many cas, cosmetic surgery isn't a necessity at all, just a choice. But when done properly by capable doctors on patients who have a realistic goal, it's believed that plastic surgery can heal psychological wounds almost as much as physical ones.
