plastic surgery
Plastic surgery is a medical procedure with the purpose of alteration or restoring the form of the body. Though cosmetic or aesthetic surgery is the most well known kind of plastic surgery, plastic surgery itself is not necessarily considered cosmetic; and includes many types of reconstructive surgery, craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, and the treatment of burns.
==Etymology==
In the term plastic surgery, the adjective ''plastic'' implies ''sculpting'' or ''reshaping'', which is derived from the Greek πλαστική (τέχνη), ''plastikē'' (''tekhnē''), “the art of modelling” of malleable flesh.〔Oxford English Dictionary, ''s.v.'' ('plastic' )〕 This meaning in English is attested as early as 1598. The surgical definition of "plastic" first appeared in 1839, preceding the modern "engineering material made from petroleum" sense of plastic (coined by Leo Baekeland in 1909) by seventy years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=plastic )〕
