Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol peels are deeper chemical peels performed by a doctor under anesthesia. In deeper peels, a mixture of chemicals is applied to the skin. After two days of swelling, the old skin peels off and reveals fresh skin in 10 to 14 days. To achieve the final result, the recovery period must be taken into account, with initially pink skin and considerable swelling. Gillies himself was sent to Rooksdown House, near Basingstoke, which became the army's main plastic surgery unit; Tommy Kilner (who had worked with Gillies during World War I and now has a surgical instrument named after him, the Kilner cheek Retractor) went to Queen Mary's Hospital in Roehampton; and Mowlem went to St Albans.
However, Aulo Cornelio Celso left some precise anatomical descriptions, some of which, for example, his studies on the genitals and the skeleton are of special interest to plastic surgery. Hand surgery is an important part of training in plastic surgery, as well as in microsurgery, which is necessary to replant an amputated limb. McIndoe, an RAF consultant, moved to the recently rebuilt Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead (Sussex) and founded a plastic surgery center and mandibular. It is the multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of facial injuries, which brings together plastic surgeons, dental surgeons, technicians and specialized nurses, which has allowed the development of techniques that lead to the reconstruction of injured faces.
When World War II broke out, the supply of plastic surgery was largely divided between the different services of the armed forces, and Gillies and her team were divided. In 1930, Gillies' cousin, Archibald McIndoe, joined the practice and committed himself to plastic surgery. This article is presented as a summary analysis of the silicones that have proven to be most useful in plastic and reconstructive surgery and as a description of their physical and chemical properties, their uses and dangers. The word plastic in plastic surgery refers to the concept of remodeling and comes from the Greek π α α α (tr), plastikê (tekhnê), the art of modeling malleable flesh.
Many birth defects or syndromes present at birth are best treated in childhood, and pediatric plastic surgeons specialize in treating these conditions in children. With the growing popularity of plastic surgery, there has also been a widespread increase in minimally invasive alternatives, such as intradermal and intramuscular injectables, which include various neurotoxins such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau, among others, in addition to hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers. Plastic surgeons use microsurgery to transfer tissue to cover a defect when there is no local tissue available. The first American plastic surgeon was John Peter Mettauer, who, in 1827, performed the first cleft palate operation with instruments that he designed himself.
Several ancient Sanskrit medical treatises mention some types of plastic surgery in India, such as the works of Sushrota and Charaka. Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty that involves the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration of the human body.
