Rhinoplasty – Charlotte, NC
Rhinoplasty of the past
The history of rhinoplasty is long, but not pleasant to read about. Ancient Egyptian doctors could rebuild the nose, to help thieves whose noses had been cut off. In India in the 6th century B.C., skin from foreheads was used to rebuild noses. The method of sewing skin from elsewhere in the body onto the nose was also used in 16th-century Europe to repair damage from syphilis. In that case, it was sometimes the arm that provided the skin, which meant the unfortunate patients had to have their arms sewn to their face until the graft took.
Note that all of these methods were intended to provide a more or less acceptable repair to catastrophic mutilation. It was not until anesthetics came along in the nineteenth that it became possible to use rhinoplasty to make a perfectly functional nose look better.
