The Basics of Cosmetic Surgery |Dr. Angelo Cuzalina

            Cosmetic surgery offers a wide variety of options when it comes to improving and altering your appearance. Put some thought into what it is you are trying to achieve. Be sure to have an open ear towards any suggestions that your surgeon might have. They are trained professionals and will know how to help you achieve your goals.
                According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, nearly 1.6 million Americans underwent cosmetic plastic surgery in 2012. Cosmetic surgery can be a perfectly safe procedure that gives you the appearance you desire. Small operations such as Botox injections are becoming relatively common globally. The practice of performing cosmetic surgery on one’s body dates as far back as 800BC in India by a surgeon named Sushruta.

Many reconstructive surgeries change peoples’ lives dramatically for the better. War veterans and burn victims are able to heal injuries through procedures such as skin grafting. The Romans were known to attempt skin grafting on wounded legionaries. After World War I, many returning veterans were disfigured from the horrors of combat. A famous case of this involved a British sailor, Walter Yeo, receiving new eyelids after a horrific naval injury.
