DESCRIPTION:We may think of plastic surgery as a relatively new phenomenon 
 but in fact Indian artisans were reconstructing noses using flaps of forehe
 ad skin as far back as 600BC. At this event we'll discover the fascinating 
 history of plastic surgery from Cleopatra bathing herself in lactic acid to
  give herself a full body peel through to the reconstructive surgery develo
 ped in response to the terrible injuries sustained in the two world wars. W
 e will also explore the place of plastic surgery in society today and take 
 a look at the bewildering array of treatments that now exist to keep oursel
 ves looking ever youthful and delay the inevitable passage of time.
