Talk by Andy Relf

It is often assumed that plastic surgery is a relatively new discipline of medicine, however this talk provides an illustrated look into its long history and the advances made since WWI.

It explains why it is called ‘plastic surgery’ and how the ‘big four’ plastic surgeons, who performed miracles during WWII, have had a legacy that is still evident today.

So much more than just a cosmetic procedure, it can be restorative, helping both physically and psychologically. Today’s numbers of cosmetic operations to enhance your body may surprise you, with an informative look at face lifts and tummy tucks.
