Plastic Surgery comes from the Greek word plastikos, meaning to shape, change or mold. It is the most creative and artistic field in medicine. Tagliacozzi, a surgical Renaissance genius, instilled artistry in the flesh. Much like Michelangelo’s chisel freed the entrapped figures from blocks of Carrara marble, plastic surgeons all over the world strive to reveal their patients’ true inner selves.
Journey into the world of modern-day plastic surgery juxtaposed against the Renaissance era of one of the specialty’s founding fathers. Dr. Zannis candidly describes his profession and the procedures everyone is curious about as he imagines recounting these details to the sixteenth century surgeon Gaspare Tagliacozzi.
