Overview

Talk by Andy Relf

It is often assumed that plastic surgery is a relatively new discipline of medicine, however this talk provides an illustrated look into its long history
and the advances made since WWI. It explains why it is called ‘plastic surgery’ and how the ‘big four’ plastic surgeons, who performed miracles during
WWII, have had a legacy that is still evident today.

So much more than just a cosmetic procedure, it can be restorative, helping both physically and psychologically. Today’s numbers of cosmetic
operations to enhance your body may surprise you, with an informative look at face lifts and tummy tucks.

We’re delighted to offer our afternoon talks on a Pay What You Can basis. We believe everyone should have access to educational and cultural opportunities, and that no one should be excluded because of their financial circumstances. Our talks are £7 for all – if anyone feels they need to pay less than this, please call the team or visit us in person.
