Sushruta

Sushruta was an ancient Indian surgeon (who was possibly born in 7th century
BC) and is the author of the book Sushruta Samhita, in which he describes
over 120 surgical instruments, 300 surgical procedures and classifies human
surgery in 8 categories.

In the Sushruta school, the first person to expound ?yurvedic knowledge was
Dhanvantari who then taught it to Divodasa who, in turn, taught it to
Sushruta, Aupadhenava, Aurabhra, Paushakal?vata, Gopurarakshita, and Bhoja.

He is credited with performing cosmetic surgery and especially with using
forehead skin to reconstruct noses which were amputated as a punishment for
crimes in his era.
