About this episode
Welcome to the Dark History podcast. How old do you think plastic surgery is? I thought it started like 50/60 years ago. But then someone told me it started because of soldiers injured in WWI, GASP. But then someone else said that forms of plastic surgery had been around since before Jesus. I. Was. Shooketh. I needed to know more. So I started digging, and oooo baby.   In today’s episode, we get into the history of Plastic Surgery. How it started, why it started, and when it started.  And what does a dog with fake boobs have to do with it??
