“…Roe is also credited with the first photographic record of an osteoplastic reduction of the nose. 3 Kapp first used topical cocaine in the nose in 1884. Weir described the first nasal in-fracture in 1892 and also introduced a variety of other soft tissue techniques for refinement rhinoplasty.…”

The history of rhinoplasty is absolutely fascinating. It is replete with mysterious practices, intrigue, and imaginative thoughts. If necessity is the mother of invention, then sex, crimes, and punishment lay a legitimate claim to being the mother of rhinoplasty. The history of rhinoplasty is a global saga spanning the millennia. Practitioners of the art and science have included those demonstrating the most admirable traits espoused in the Hippocratic Oath, as well as those to whom the word “charlatan” might more aptly be applied. The truth of a story is illustrated in its telling, and we have attempted to be true historians. We recognize that observers and narrators, now well past (sic), have determined many of today's truths, and therefore their stories become our truths whether they were so or not. We have attempted to reference many who have contributed to the advance of this amazing surgical procedure, recognizing that we may have included some who have demonstrated marginal merit to be so. Assuredly, we have also unintentionally omitted some whom we should have included. From them we ask forbearance. Let the story begin, “Once upon a time…”

“…Materials attempted for nasal implantation include various metallic implants (gold, silver, platinum, aluminum, tantalum, and other nonspecific "metallic constructs"), amber, rubber, ivory, marble, celluloid, paraffin, animal bone and cartilage, cadaveric bone and cartilage, and autologous bone and cartilage. 4 Over time, attempts became more sophisticated and often incorporated local soft-tissue flaps. Despres (1877), Lotievant (1878), and Delorme (1887) all independently described the use of one or two local flaps wrapped around a metallic framework for nasal reconstruction.…”

“…Despres (1877), Lotievant (1878), and Delorme (1887) all independently described the use of one or two local flaps wrapped around a metallic framework for nasal reconstruction. 4 Famously, in 1889, Robert F. Weir reconstructed a saddle nose deformity in a man who had suffered from chronic syphilis using a "young duck's breast bone" and declared success 3 weeks postoperatively. However, 7 weeks following the operation, the right half was removed due to increased purulent drainage and abscess formation, and 2 weeks later he removed the left half due to persistent infection (►Fig.…”

Rhinoplasty often requires the use of grafting material, and the goal of the specific graft dictates the ideal characteristics of the material to be used. An ideal material would be biologically inert, resistant to infection, noncarcinogenic, nondegradable, widely available, cost-effective, readily modifiable, and easily removable, have compatible biomechanical characteristics, retain physical properties over time, and not migrate. Unfortunately, no material currently in existence meets all of these criteria. In modern rhinoplasty, autologous grafts are the gold standard against which all other nasal implants are measured and offer the safest long-term results for most patients. They are easily manipulated, have inherent stability and biomechanical characteristics similar to the native nasal framework, and confer minimal risk of complications. Modern homologous and alloplastic materials have gained considerable support in recent years because they are readily available in endless quantity, do not require a second surgical site for harvest, and are generally considered safe if most circumstances, but they confer additional risk and have biomechanical characteristics different from that of the native nasal framework. To address some of these issues, we provide a contemporary review of autologous, homologous, and alloplastic materials commonly used in rhinoplasty surgery.

“…Although, the arm flap operation is now rarely performed we have to be extremely grateful to Gaspare Tagliacozzi for having been the one who systematised and promulgated nasal reconstruction and established plastic surgery as an independent specialty. Reviews of the state of art of nasal reconstruction were published by Nélaton and Ombrédanne in 1904 [27], and more recently by McDowell [25], Rogers [33], Mazzola [24], Furlan and Mazzola [17]. Nowadays, defects of the nasal tip are best replaced by the paramedian forehead skin, due to excellent pliability, almost identical colour match and good vascularisation of the flap.…”

Reconstruction of the Nose - A Historical Review

As the central and most prominent part of the human face, the nose contributes to determine the beauty of a person significantly. Certain ancient populations, particularly in India, had the common tradition to cut off a person's nose as an act of humiliation to thieves and prisoners of war or vengeance for some real or fancied wrong. To erase the signs of this cruel disfigurement, the ingenuity of surgeons conceived different solutions over the centuries, therefore the birth and evolution of plastic surgery strictly parallel the art of replacing missing noses. Nasal restoration by means of a skin flap taken from the arm is an operation of Italian origin, whereas by a skin flap taken from the forehead is an operation of Indian origin. This review highlights the development of this interesting and at the same time challenging surgical technique. Currently, the forehead flap is considered the solution of choice due to the excellent colour match. However, for the success of the repair it is essential to have the forehead flap of a correct size and shape depending on the defect. Nowadays, the operation has achieved excellent results due to the accuracy of technical details. Defects of the nasal tip require replacement of the different layers, mucosa, framework and cover. Donor areas must be carefully selected to leave minimal local morbidity, whereas recipient sites are treated aesthetically so as to obtain the most successful type of repair. In conclusion, the lesson from our forefathers has positively influenced the evolution of nasal reconstruction techniques.
