Ever since Eve put on the first fig leaf, women have been seeking ways to improve their looks. Whether it was for appeasing the gods or attracting a mate a woman’s appearance was changed or enhanced according to the rituals and materials available.

We know that as far back as Ancient Egypt and even beyond, that women have had at there disposal, the means and probably the desire to enhance their appearance.

Back then and throughout the intervening ages, women have had the wherewithal to apply makeup to the face, eyes and lips, knew about plant dyes, like henna for the skin and hair, would wear wigs of differing materials from 100% human hair, through a mix of hair and plants, down to the lowly, but still necessary total plant sourced wig. They were not only able to pluck eye brows and shave hair but in certain parts of the world, were able to physically change their bodies.

In the Orient, where it was dictated that women had to have small feet, young girls feet were tightly bound so that the bones could not develop fully, it has been still going on up until very recent times. In Africa amongst certain tribes, the neck has been stretched, using a succession of rings, whilst in the Far East, Africa and South America lips and ears have been stretched by cutting and placing wooded discs within them.

Not only that, but in India a man called Sushruta, nowadays called the ‘Father of Surgery’ was doing nose jobs around 800 years B.C. No you are not misreading, he was reconstructing noses before Christ was born. In India the punishment for adultery, no doubt because women were making themselve

In India the punishment for adultery, no doubt because women were making themselves more beautiful, was to have the nose cut off. He was able to reconstruct the nose by using a flap of skin from the forehead which by keeping the flap attached to the blood supply, allowed the new ‘nose’ to take. The nostrils were fabricated out of tubes of wood which allowed the patient to breath via the nose.

Breasts, however, were enhanced by clothing. The first known garments used to accentuate breasts were in 2000 BC when a corset-like garment was used but left the breasts uncovered, whilst strips of leather were wound around the waist and also around the curves of the breasts.

Five hundred years later, Minoan warrior women wore a garment resembling a bra but instead of covering also pushed the breasts up to reveal them above the clothing.

There followed a variety of different styles and clothing technology but it wasn’t until around 1890 that the first breast enhancing operation was performed.

As well as paraffin there were experiments using implants of ivory or glass balls despite the fact that it caused infections and the breasts to harden and form lumps it wasn’t until thirty years later that the practice was completely stopped.

It was replaced by the use of fatty tissue taken from the b
