I am participating in a school technology project this year, with my topic being cosmetic surgery. One of my sources in my works cited must be an interview. I was wondering if you could provide me with some key information that I could possibly cite in my research paper. (If possible, could you please record your name so that I may cite it in my paper as well?)

First, when was plastic surgery (in general) first used, and was it used for different purposes back then than it is today?

Next, how long has liposuction been practiced?

Also, how is liposuction different than other types of plastic surgery practiced today? What is special about it?

What is the difference between plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery?

Finally and most importantly are these two questions:

Do you think having such technologies has improved society? Why or why not?

How do you think plastic surgery and liposuction will change in the future?

Thank you for your cooperation.
