Whoever named this is a jester.
I wasn't even thinking about this. I was making some joke to one of my guys about this very openly gay and very short guy in the HR department that the dood is very obviously a FtM. I asked him if he transitioned from a girl would he need a phalloplasty or a vaginoplasty because I had no clue whether plasty means addition or subtraction.
The guy I was talking to didn't know either. So we searched and obviously(in hindsight) plasty means plus.
It hit me then why rhinoplasty is called that. Fricking crazy bro.
