Many enduring and heartening tragedies and follies in mythology and history could have been prevented had there been plastic or reconstructive surgery available then. Consider the possibility of averting the war of Ramayana by timely intervention by a surgeon in the form of grafts/ rotational flaps to reconstruct the rightly smothered nose of the vengeful Surpanakha, sister of Ravana.
Such is the power and beauty of a surgeon's knife that it can transform and change lives for better. Oculoplastic surgery, by envisaging to reconstruct, restore and rejuvenate, truly emerges as a transformational and creative science. Also, it transgresses the traditional boundaries of Ophthalmology and encompasses within its embrace relevant principles and practice of plastic and reconstructive surgery. It is these attributes of 'oculofacial plastic and orbital surgery' that draw me passionately towards gaining knowledge and acquiring skills of this beautiful science.

In conclusion in this paper I have contrasted the three theoretical perspectives that relate to plastic surgery. These are basic theories related to how society works. They are meant to draw attention to a particular phenomenon and make you really deeply about it. It also shows there are many ways to look at the phenomenon, because it focuses on more than one aspect.
...hese days and is no longer accessible only to the rich and famous. Any person in the world can have the procedure they want done. Men, women and parents of small children are making the decision things about their bodies and looks each day. Plastic surgery can improve a person’s self esteem or can drastically change the life of a child or adult with deformities. No matter what the reason may be, plastic surgery is not something that is to be entered into lightly. It requires a long thought process, a search for a good and credible practitioner, support from loved ones, possible therapy and of course, a lot of money. The decision to undergo cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is intensely personal. People, for reasons as simple as a crooked nose, to the lessening of a serious scar, to those deformed by birth, accidents or injury have options available to them.
First and foremost, addressing the use of cosmetic or, in this sense more aptly, aesthetic surgery for restoration and reparation of human anatomy damaged by unfortunate incidents, it is common to come to a consensus where people are agreeable to the sur...
Often what is not natural by nature is not easily accepted by society. People are expected to live the way others think they should live and not the way they want to live. The “term plastic surgery comes from the Greek word “plastikos” which means to mold or shape.”(Plastic Surgery) Initial plastic surgery was used as a way to correct injury or defects in the early 1600‘s. Based on ISAPS Global Statistics for 2010 to 2011, it illustrates that in Canada the number of nonsurgical procedures requiring no incision has dropped by 30% while the number of surgical procedure has increased by 30% from 2010. In recent years the practice is not just limited to correcting an abnormality or defect it can be used to alter or enhance an individual’s appearance. Plastic surgery has proved to be beneficial in a case like bullying, parenting, and the media. It has the ability to eliminate differences and help people to conform to society’s expectations.
Society places a negative connotation behind plastic surgery. People think that individuals have “unnecessary” procedures to change their physical appearance in order to assimilate to societal beauty standards. However, many people don’t know that plastic surgery isn’t the typical boob job or face lift. Plastic surgery is the restruction of body/facial defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns and diseases. Some examples of plastic surgery are burn repair surgery, scar revision surgery and defect repair(cleft palate). Being able to fix scars and change dysfunctional areas of the body can boost the confidence of people who have been damaged and hurt.
Plastic surgery is one of the most growing fields in medicine. Reconstructive surgery is one of the branches from plastic surgery and it is defined as surgeries performed to restore facial and body defects caused by a disease, trauma, burns, or birth defects (Nelson, 2010). When it first started, it focused on helping people who are having difficulty blending in society. For instance, during the Renaissance era, in the late 1700s, doctors worked on enhancing the appearance of patients suffering from the nose deformation caused by syphilis using plastic surgery. Enabling them to blend in society and cover the disease. Also, after World War I, because there were a large number of soldiers with disfiguring injuries, the United States of America relied on plastic surgeries to improve the life of wounded soldiers (Nelson, 2010). The other branch of plastic surgery is cosmetic surgery. This type of surgery is performed to preserve or restore normal appearances, or to enhance it beyond the average level (American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, 2014). For the last couple of years, Plastic surgery marketing has focused massively on cosmetic surgery procedures rather than reconstructive ones. This type of advertising is having negative effects on society by increasing the number of needless procedures, changing the true meaning of beauty, and harming females’ self-esteem.

The evolution of medical it has progressed rapidly to meet demand and better treatment. Some improvements in the body, as well as important that we are widely known, is "plastic surgery". The meaning of the plastic surgery is the changes of the body in order to have a better attractive with the process of surgery, transplantation and injection of the organs.

Which person in the whole world didn’t wish at some point in his/her life to go back in time? Whether it was to have another chance to correct our mistakes or grab an opportunity we once let go, we all wish to travel to the past. For some people, it is totally different. They want to go back in time not only to look but to also feel young again; and luckily for these people the solution has been found. Since ancient times people seek self-improvement and plastic surgery which is the reparation, reconstruction or change of body parts using surgical procedures, has never stopped evolving and improving to help them. For the past few decades plastic surgery has been increasing more and more, which raised the debate between those who accept it and those who oppose it and want it to stop especially when it is done for cosmetic rather than reconstructive purposes. Cosmetic surgery should not be trivialized, as it has many benefits and lead to favorable consequences.
Children love to draw even if that’s drawing on the wall of their home or creating a masterpiece on the table. If they are not satisfied with their drawing they can modify it and make it better to their extent. Plastic surgery is just that. It is changing or modifying the way someone looked for different reasons. Dating back to ancient times and its most basic form, plastic surgery has been apart of the world for many centuries (Kalantar-Hormozi, 2013). Since then it has advanced enormously and in society today any part of the body can be manipulated. Plastic surgery also called cosmetic or reconstructive surgery is acceptable for bullied victims, weight loss successors and accident survivors that undergo this ancient practice to better themselves

Cosmetic surgery is becoming a trend world-wide today because humans can never be fully satisfied in terms of looks; however, this type of surgery has many serious perils rather than some benefits that we already know.
Cosmetic Surgery is a great discovery that has been around for many centuries. “The history of plastic surgery origins in the early 800 B.C. when surgeons in India restored noses to persons who had them taken off as a form of punishment.” (History of Cosmetic Surgery, 2008) Many people have used over the years cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to enhance their physical appearance weather it be for health problems associated with birth defect or problems that they have developed over the years or to even alter physical appearances for instance nose jobs and tummy tucks. There are numerous types of cosmetic surgery that can be done today in the United States, over the year’s surgeons techniques have improved dramatically. There are a number of pro’s and con’s that go along with cosmetic surgery, such as the amount of recovery time and the initial cost of surgery. Statistics also show that cosmetic surgery has grown so rapidly over the years it is phenomenal people who receive cosmetic surgery goes up by the millions every year. While there can be many related health risks due to cosmetic sugary, many times cosmetic surgery is necessary and its is made more affordable than thought to be.
Learning is a continuous process and the day that you stop learning is the day that you start decreasing your rewards and lower levels of satisfaction. My ardent desire to acquire knowledge has motivated me to pursue higher studies at graduate level, and to take up a career in research in industry. I have taken this decision after carefully considering my academic background, profound interest in research and strong aptitude for problem solving.
