Question by x-Jazzy-x: Does "plastic surgery" necessitate to have plastic involved?
I want to say "Of course it does!", but wikipedia is giving me doubts. I know I can't really trust them, so can you guys help me out with some examples/proof? This (annoying) lady I know just got the tip of her nose bitten off by a dog (Don't worry the dog is fine) and surgeons replaced the piece of nose with a bit from her ear. There was no fake parts or "plastic" involved, but is this still plastic surgery?Thanks!

Answer by GaryR
The term "plastic" more refers to the movement of body parts from one place to another, not that actual plastic is involved. Harvesting bone from one part of the body to build up another part of the body could be called "plastic surgery," but it more accurately refers to improving one's appearance or correct a deformity of some sort. Having a dog bite off the tip of your nose would count.
