Historically, plastic surgery have been practiced for thousands of years, going back to more primitive methods that were seen in India since around 800 B.C. At that time, plastic surgery procedures consisted of skin grafts that were performed on those that suffered from skin damaging injures. Ancient doctors developed methods to help suture the skin to the body, to help prevent scarring. They performed reconstructive operations on ears and noses that were lost in war or through punishment for a crime. The Romans were also practicing plastic surgery by the first century B.C. Their culture greatly admired the beauty of naked body thus promoting them to improve or eliminate the appearance of any bodily defect or deformity. Their procedures included breast reduction and scar removal.
