How long will toxic plastic residue stay around?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not present!: Plastic surgery does not involve the use of any kind of toxic plastic, though we do use bone and tissue grafts, implants of various compositions that have been proven to be biocompatible and non-toxic, and of course your own tissues. The word "plastic" comes from the greek "plastikos" which means to move or mold, which is exactly what we plastic surgeons do with tissues. We restore and enhance!
