Rhinoplasty<\/a>, also referred to as \u201cnose job surgery,\u201d might seem like a purely modern convenience. The truth is, though, that the roots of this procedure go back thousands of years! Are you curious about the history of rhinoplasty? This blog post explains some highlights of how nose jobs have evolved over the centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ancient Rhinoplasty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sushruta, an Indian doctor who lived around 600 BCE, is considered the \u201cfather of plastic surgery.\u201d He left behind medical texts that provided detailed instructions on rhinoplasty techniques. There is also evidence to indicate the ancient Egyptians practiced some form of rhinoplasty, as suggested by nose reconstructions on some of their statues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that ancient Roman physicians were also interested in nose reconstruction. Two medical texts, one of which is from 14 CE, provided guidelines on how to perform rhinoplasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhinoplasty in the 16th<\/sup> Century<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Syphilis was a major public health concern of the 16th<\/sup> century. One potential consequence of this disease is destruction of the body\u2019s soft tissues, including those of the nose and face. To help individuals with this problem, doctors sometimes used skin flaps taken from donors to reconstruct the nasal area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Birth of Modern Rhinoplasty<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to advancements in medicine and pain management, rhinoplasty techniques took a major leap forward in the 19th<\/sup> century. In 1887, American otolaryngologist Dr. John Orlando Roe performed the first closed rhinoplasty. (All incisions were concealed inside the nostrils).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first half of the 20th<\/sup> century, further advancements were made as doctors sought to provide reconstructive surgery for veterans of the First and Second World Wars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in the 20th<\/sup> century, open rhinoplasty techniques improved. Dr. Wilfred S. Goodman was a notable doctor who advocated for making an incision along the columella (the tissue that divides the two nostrils) to increase a surgeon\u2019s control during rhinoplasty surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appreciating 21st<\/sup> Century Techniques<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rhinoplasty has continued to improve in recent years. Refinements in both technology and techniques have made this type of treatment more effective, comfortable, and predictable than ever before. If you have questions about the specific methods that might be used during rhinoplasty procedure, ask your local surgeon. They will be happy to walk you through the process so you can make a well-informed decision about whether rhinoplasty might be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
