These types of advancements are sorely needed. While Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Procedures can do remarkable things making the normal look even better, the field of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery reconstruction still has limitations. Science still needs to find viable solutions for tissue replacement including defecits of bone, muscle, fat, skin, nerves, organs and blood vessels. These things will come with time. Imagine how cool it would be to be able to replace these tissues making the aged and deformed look 100% normal. That day will come.
