The BAAPS is proud to present the Medical and Health Benefits of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, an evidence-based peer reviewed supplement produced in collaboration with the Aesthetic Surgery Journal.

We see the transformative impact of aesthetic plastic surgery on our patients every day and now you can read about this across the breath of aesthetic plastic surgery. We have curated the most robust and latest evidence behind the procedures that we do from head to toe as well as looking at the value of aesthetic surgery to health, the psychological value and the health and wellness of the surgeon.

History of BAAPS

The speciality of Plastic Surgery was established during the First World War to help treat servicemen who had been mutilated in the conflict.

Plastic Surgery became a speciality in its own right just after the Second World War, and was used to reconstruct facial wounds on soldiers at The Cambridge Military Hospital in Aldershot.

One of the founding fathers of Plastic Surgery, Sir Harold Gillies, quickly recognised the potential of this type of surgery and was involved in the creation of a new hospital devoted to facial repairs in Sidcup, which treated thousands of servicemen from all over the world.

Cosmetic surgery as we know it today evolved naturally from reconstructive surgery, and even now all Plastic Surgeons are still trained in reconstructive surgery first.
