Nose Reconstruction, 1794
Indian method of nose reconstruction, illustrated in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1794. Rhinoplasty, in which the nose is reconstructed, has a long history. It was developed in India by the Hindu surgeon Susrata in about 500 BC. He used a flap of skin from the forehead, called a pedicle, to form a new nose. The forehead reconstruction method developed by Susrata was translated into Arabic in the 700's, and into English in the 1700's. Rhinoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure for correcting and reconstructing the form, restoring the functions, and esthetically enhancing the nose, by resolving nasal trauma (blunt, penetrating, blast), congenital defect or respiratory impediment.
