Plastic surgery as we know it today would not exist without the horrors of World War 1 and 2. So many soldiers came to doctors after WWI with shattered jaws, blown-off noses and lips and gaping skull wounds caused by modern weapons. I would like people who persue plastic surgery for vanity to read the history and see the pictures and consider why they're doing what they're doing.
I would like all plastic surgeons to consider doing a 'tour of duty' in the third world helping victims of land mines. That would give them a VERY clear perspective of their chosen profession. The ones who fucked up Michael Jackson and other mentally ill people on the other hand should just be shot out of a cannon.
