One of Gaspare Tagliacozzi's methods for replacing a missing nose. Here we see the incised skin flap cut away from the upper arm. It will be sutured to the skin surrounding the missing nose. Gaspare Tagliacozzi (1547-1599) was an Italian plastic surgeon. Although reconstructive surgery had been practiced for years, with documented procedures in ancient India, Tagliacozzi popularized the field of plastic surgery, and particularly rhinoplasty, in the 16th book on plastic surgery, in which this illustration appears, is called De Curtorum Chirurgia Per Institionem (1597).
