"I am very scared of doctors and of being operated on," says the man widely credited with inventing modern plastic surgery.

It’s no wonder Brazilian Ivo Pitanguy spews his kind of sarcasm "naturally" -- as quoted by the Europa press agency:

"People today are obsessed with physical beauty and ignore the importance of intelligence and spiritual well-being...pastic surgery should help people feel at ease with themselves, it should not be for other people."

Pitanguy calls it "exaggerated" -- referring to today's fascination with the cult of the body and is quick to suggest that “the spirit, the cult of intelligence” was more important.

The surgeon insisted the problem "was not the fault of plastic surgery, but of the marketing industry, which sells an image of youth and beauty." Conspicuously, he observed the increasing number of men seeking plastic surgery, notably to have bags under their eyes removed.

Many celebrities consider Pitanguy, who is 79, as the best plastic surgeon ever, counting famous film stars Gina Lollabrigida, Melina Mercouri and Zsa Zsa Gabor among his elated patients.

The plastic surgery guru has come a long way and his words are valued as much as his career, which started in 1953, is admired -- with over 60,000 operations and more than 400 plastic surgeons trained worldwide, tucked in his sleeves.

After studying in the United States, France and Britain, the plastic surgery guru began performing plastic surgery in his home country. The turning point in his career came when, in 1961 Pitanguy treated scores of burns victims after a burning circus tent fell on 2,500 spectators in the Brazilian city of Niteroi, killing 500 people.
