Skin is of crucial importance to plastic surgery.
Consider for a moment, in the future, being able to transplant the skin from any part of the body in whole pieces, and being able to shape it as desired, even in a three-dimensional shape. This kind of freestyle skin grafting could easily solve some very complex problems.
Dr. Ivan was extremely excited, a feeling he hadn't had in a long time. The last time he felt this way was when he was learning some unprecedented techniques with his mentor.
His mentor, from the former Soviet Union, was a pioneer in plastic surgery and had participated in many audacious and magical experiments, such as face transplant surgery, including heterologous whole-face transplants and autologous facial reshaping. He even performed targeted facial shaping, which entailed altering someone's appearance to resemble a certain individual.
At that time, Ivan was extremely excited, feeling as if a new world had opened before his eyes.
