  • From repairing the damage wrought by disease, injury and warfare to enhancing beauty, healers have long sought new and innovative ways to improve the looks and the lives of their patients. Let’s take a journey through the historic of plastic surgery, from it’s painful and primitive yet surprisingly effective ancient origins, through a few shocking case studies to the modern medical procedures of today.

    Mutilation was a very common form of punishment in the Byzantine Empire. Since it was seen as un-Christian to kill - which would have been the punishment for serious crimes in the earlier Pagan Roman Empire - the Christian Byzantines instead often used castration, blinding, or cutting off noses, tongues, ears or hands as punishment. Justinian II didn’t have reconstructive surgery on his nose though as far as I know - instead he wore a golden nose attached to his face by a leather strap. Which I imagine would have made this blood-thirsty emperor look even more terrifying.

      It’s a novelty factor of becoming a titled person. I believe that if you own land in Scotland you can call yourself a Laird (Lord?). Anyway beside the title, which is worth diddly squat, the money raised by the sale of the land is used to preserve the environment. The land is normally situated on a country estate….. in need of funding.

      It’s a title of ownership basically for a small plot of land, a custom so to speak, not an actual royal title. In Guatemala Im called Donja wich is basically the same as Lady and it’s a title by custom for land ownership and has nothing to do with being royal.

    I had a friend who had breast reduction surgery and ended up paralyzed from the waist down due to a shower of blood clots one of which lodged in her spinal cord. It was so shocking and devastating and still seems so unfair. We were both large breasted and I am still too large for my liking, but now am just too afraid to ever try it. My mother was an RN for 38 years and said never to get a surgery unless you absolutely needed it. I’m guessing because she knew there were serious risks. I do realize that many are helped by plastic surgery though.. Great video, but I think adding a bit more about the risks involved still might be of value to people watching.

    If you are having plastic surgery for medical reasons or for your own personal self that is completely fine. I know is say the beauty and drag communities stuff like lip fillers are popular because they enhance the makeup and helps make the makeup look better and pop more. but if you are getting plastic surgery to mimic celebs or impress a partner then you don't need plastic surgery you need therapy because you clearly have self esteem issues. I know that there is a celeb who has lip fillers to connect to part of her culture and heritage. Kirstin Maldonado from acapella group Pentatonix came under fire from fans in recent time when it became obvious that she has lip fillers but she said she has them because a) she like playing around with bold makeup looks and the fillers help to make them stand out more and b) it helps her connect to her Latina roots where it is common for women to have fuller lips. She spent years trying to be white passing but got to a place where she fully embraced the fact that she is Latina and proud to be and the lip fillers are part of that. Just think about the reasons you are having the surgery. If it is coming from any kind of outside pressure either from social media, peers or a partner DON'T GET IT!!!!!!

      A LOT of people wonder that. Berlin, pre Nazi regime, was by far the most accepting place in the world for LGBTQ people and the only place where trans people could get medical treatment. The library there, full of thousands of books on the subject, was burned to the ground. It took decades for anyone to try to do it again.

      Maybe no more progress, in fact since trans ideology is in the process of imploding right now, I'm guessing it would only have happened sooner. You're about to see a wave of lawsuits from mutilated kids and young adults, chemically castrated people who would have been perfectly healthy if not for this ludicrous pseudo-religious movement. This is going to be remembered as a medical and moral scandal on the level of the Thalidomide babies, Big Tobacco, and the forced lobotomies of "disagreeable women". The dismantling of women's rights and the eradication of homosexuals in favour of transing them to the "right sex" (to make them "straight"-seeming), especially the eradication of lesbians and lesbian culture, is one of the greatest human rights of the early 21st centuries. Thank goodness transgenderism is on the way out, but it should never has gotten this out of hand, to the point that lesbians are basically barred from gathering without male supervision (so says the law in Tasmania), to the point of male rapists being put in female prisons and rape shelters, of female sports being dismantled, and of homosexuals being put under the most severe, evil form of "conversion therapy" there is" genital mutilation, chemical castration, cross-sex hormone "therapy". Disgusting. What a time to be alive, and thank goodness for the fourth wave.

When the doctors were taking injectables and putting it inside women's breasts and men's penises to enlarge it or fix asymmetrical breast and then normal everyday people thought hey I can do that and started injecting stuff into women and then people got sick from it. That's exactly what's going on today what this butt injections and the illegal butt injections that are making people sick. The exact same thing that happened then with it going all over their body and making nodules is happening. And people really will not learn from the mistakes.

    (Once upon a time) in Malaysia, I’ve heard stories that women used to insert gold specks under their cheeks and around the face to augment their beauty (usually accompanied with “jampi” - a kinda spell). The practice is called “tanam susuk”, lit. meaning “planting an implant”.
    From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, I see this procedure as a way of enhancing or correcting the conductivity and flow of Qi along the meridiens. And a river that flows well and unobstructed has clean waters, nutrients and a good spot for fishing.
