The long and interesting history of plastic surgery can be traced back to the ancient times. Doctors or medical practioners in old India started using skin grafts to reconstruct human skin spots in the 8th century BC.

An ancient Indian surgeon named Susrutha made the first recorded nose construction. He used a portion or some skin from a forehead. During that time, nose amputations were punishable by old Indian laws.

Several millennium later, the Romans performed simple techniques like repairing damaged ears. In Europe, Dr Heinrich von Pfolspeundt conducted a simple plastic surgery by removing skin coming from the arm’s back and sutured it in place.

However, the practice and science of plastic surgey advanced and became common only in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was because in the old times, too much danger was attributed to plastic surgeries.

In the United States, Dr John Peter Mettauer was the first American plastic surgeon. The first plastic surgery operation he performed was a cleft palate operation in which dates back to 1827. He designed his own instruments and operation materials.

The father of modern plastic surgery is Sir Harold Gillies. He was able to develop a number of techniques for modern plastic surgery. Sir Gillies focused on patients who suffered facial injuries during World War I.

Defining plastic surgery

The term plastic surgery is a general term referring to manual or instrumental treatment or operation performed for aesthetic or functional reasons or purposes.

The word ‘plastic’ from plastic surgey comes from a Greek ancient word ‘plastikos’ that means to shape or to mold.

There are two principal or main areas or fields of plastic surgery to date. These include:

o Reconstructive plastic surgery. This area of plastic surgery concentrates on masking or undoing destructions in the face or other external parts of the body. This form of plastic surgey include closing defects bu grafting skin with regional, local or distant flaps. Through the procedure tissues from other parts of the body is transferred to another part.

o Aesthetic or cosmetic surgery is the most common form of plastic surgery nowadays. This form of plastic surgery is most of the time made to modify or improve features in the face or body that the patient finds ugly or unflattering. Examples of this kind of plastic surgery are breast reduction or breast implantation.

Related disciplines to plastic surgery

From the history and the two broad areas of plastic surgeries, it can still be further subdivided. The American Board of Plastic Surgery also includes the study or further advancement in the following related specific disciplines:

o Craniofacial surgery. This form of plastic surgery involves the treatment or surgery to align or modify congenital or in-born physical defects, It includes cleft lip palate, craniosynostosis and other defects in the face due to in born causes and physical development.

o Hand surgery is another discipline where plastic surgeons are trained. They receive full training in the discipline.

o Maxillofacial surgery is one form of plastic surgery that involves maxilla or jaw and face. The field grew or sprang from the contributions and advancements in both oral surgeries and plastic surgeries. Examples of operations in this discipline are fractures in the jaw as well as in the face that may have arisen from accidents or brawls.

The Environmental Working Group is one of my favorite consumer advocacy groups. They hold no bars. No matter how big, powerful or even a respected natural company, EWG says it like it is.

In 2007 EWG reported that the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (CSC) tested 33 brands of lipstick from various locations in the Northeast. Two television news programs, KCBS and Pittsburgh's WPXI, both tested several brands as well.

The results were shocking. They found over two-thirds had lead levels higher than the FDA's allowable level for lead in candy (.1 parts per million (ppm)! The brands that did contain lead included:

L'Oreal Colour Riche True Red - 0.65 ppm

Cover Girl Incredifull Lipcolor Maximum Red - 0.56 ppm

Dior Addict Positive Red - 0.21 ppm

Burt's Bee also contained lead, but the founder maintained that the levels should not be of concern.

So how much is too much lead in your lipstick for it to be of concern?

For me, any level!

Lipstick is easily absorbed through the lips and can be ingested as we lick our lips. As lead gets into the blood stream, it is stored in organs, tissues, bones and teeth. If it continues to accumulate in these areas in the body, even in small amounts, it can cause permanent damage to the central nervous system, especially the brain.

The problem stems back to the fact that the FDA does not regulate ingredients in personal care products or cosmetics.

The limits it has set for lead include the maximum allowable dosage levels of (MADL) of .1 ppm in candy, .5 ppm in food and 10 to 20 ppm in FD&C color additives, which according to EWG may be used in color lipsticks. The lead does not have to be listed on the label since it has been added to the color.

For years, we have been warned against lead in paint in old homes and toys purchased from China. Now we need to be careful of cosmetics purchased in stores or online, whether they are made in the U.S.A. or China.

My suggestion is to buy cosmetics without FD&C colors, especially red.

I found the lists of ingredients and their uses in the beginning of the book very helpful in developing my own skin products. It lists the various ingredients commonly used in developing your own skin care treatments, such as carrier oils and herbs and explains how they are used. I think one just starting to make their own products would find this book very useful.


Lead poisoning or presence of lead in the blood is one of the most chronic problems affecting more than 3 million children in the United States.

Children have a greater ability to absorb lead. The most common source of it is the lead-based paint used for painting households and playground equipment. Similar paints are also used in toys and some imported crayons making them very dangerous for a child's health. Even adults working in certain professions have a greater risk of getting exposed to lead. These include individuals working in lead mines, battery manufacturing and recycling, construction work, auto repair and lead smelting. One can get exposed to it due to calcium supplements, hair dyes and various other cosmetic products.

Lead poisoning in children results in serious health problems such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, behavioral problems, lower IQ, stunted growth, hearing impairment and juvenile delinquency. Severe cases of lead poisoning can be fatal causing seizures, coma and finally death.

In most cases, children do not exhibit any visible symptoms that are characteristic of the disease. Some common problems that are generally observed in children suffering with lead poisoning include abdominal discomfort, stomach ache, reduced appetite, hyperactivity, sleeping problems and irritability. Since these symptoms are common in various other mild problems, diagnosis of lead poisoning is difficult. However, there are different types of blood tests available that can determine the levels of this in the body. Presence of the level of more than 10mg/dL is considered as lead poisoning.

The most important treatment method for lead poisoning is to use special type of drugs called as chelators. The medicines bind with lead and remove it through urine.

Sally Hansen Fast & Flawless Air Brush Make-Up Creamy Natural 1.5oz.

Customer Review: Wonderful product. Just wish it was more widely available
This product is EXCELLENT for light coverage. I am over 40 and tried this product based on Carmindy's use of a similiar product on TLC's What Not To Wear. I was not disappointed with the coverage or the wear of the product. I use it with a moisturizer, light concealer cream, sponge on the spray base, and then a mineral powder dusted on top. My skin looks so smooth and the product wears for a long time before needing reapplication. My skin tends to be on the sensitive side so I tend to buy products and throw them out in frustration. Not this one. The only frustration is that it's rather hard to find. I've found it on Amazon and in Walgreen's and that's it. I hope Sally Hansen keeps making this wonderful foundation.
Customer Review: Perfect
This product was sent sooner than I had actually thought it would have been. Awesome


You're wearing a suit, so you should look good. Right? Maybe not.

A suit in the wrong color can be detrimental to your appearance on two levels. First are the results in the mirror. It may not be becoming and may clash with your hair or your skin. Remember George Bush in the pale gray windbreaker he occasionally wears? He appears weather-beaten, tired and much older than he is. Imagine Bush in a suit the same color. It is not the picture of a powerful man. You also may recall the image of silver-haired Bill Clinton in a camel jacket. He wore it once, and the results were jarring.

The second negative result of the wrong color is on a psychological level, when the colors you wear send out negative messages. Can you see Laura Bush clad in a leopard print dress or Jennifer Lopez in a matronly brown dress? According to a recent study of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, a lack of color knowledge may be costing you money. The bank reviewed economic studies to find possible links between looks and wages. The study's conclusion: A worker with below average looks tended to earn significantly less - on average 9 percent less - per hour than an above average-looking employee. Those with above-average looks tended to earn 5 percent more than their average-looking colleagues. The economists working on the analysis concluded that society values workers with good looks and pays them for it.

What does it mean to "look good" on the job? You might be surprised. My 30 years of research suggest that it has nothing to do with looking "beautiful" or "handsome." It has everything to do with looking polished and professional. In particular, it has to do with being dressed in a professional manner and in colors and styles that flatter you. Colors send messages, and you can use that to your advantage. You must choose them first and foremost to flatter the skin. It is a mistake to think that you can rely on your instincts or personal taste when choosing colors. Without color knowledge, it is difficult to produce results that are consistently positive.

A few colors are universally positive, such as navy blue. However, it is necessary to select the proper shade of navy blue for your skin. In general, if you have gray hair, avoid gray-toned navy blues.

Red is another "universal" color that has strong positive connotations. But keep in mind that orange-reds are less flattering to the skin than blue-reds.

What message does the popular but not recommended color gray send? It suggests old and gray, sad and gray or tired and gray. Worn alone, gray simply sends out a negative message, so it must be combined with a tie in a dynamic color. Women can negate gray's dreariness with a colorful accent, which can include lipstick.

Our sense organs can function only by means of comparisons. For example, the eye accepts a line as long when a shorter line is presented for comparison. The same line is taken as short when compared with a longer line. Color effects are similarly intensified or weakened by contrast. A color that seems perfectly fine may suddenly look absolutely dreadful when compared with a better color. Color knowledge is important when choosing wardrobe colors, as well as hair and makeup colors. Unfortunately, many books on the subject of color analysis contain dated information. For example, all the color books in my library suggest that because of my light skin and hair, I must wear pastels. In reality, most blondes look pale and washed out in pastels, and I am no exception.

The most expensive suit in the world won't help you look good if it's in the wrong color or style.
