I never ceased to be amazed at what can be one surgically
these days. Thanks for sharing this. I had never heard
of it, and learned something new.

Thanks, FF--I didn't know that either.
But--why, then, are pottery items not something-plasties?
from the Greek plastos meaning moulded or formed.
And thus the word plastic?

And I assume thats where the specialised Plastic Surgery comes from.
Did you read recently surgeons have transplanted a persons face, successfully...with remodelling of course.

More than one time. There was a man on the news this
week who had the surgery. His child said he looked great.
It must give a lot of hope.

Yes, that is the same one. There was a lady before him, however,
I don't remember where, but about a year ago.
