Abstract

As promised I am writing the second part of my series of articles covering interactions I have had during my 30 years in Rhinoplasty. This focuses on my journey as a Rhinoplasty at a time when the specialty was developing in India. Nowadays with all the audio-visual aids and experienced surgeon learning Rhinoplasty is much simpler in India. But when I started, there was no authority on Rhinoplasty, at least in Mumbai. At the time there were some famous genral plastic surgeons treating 􀃶lm stars( but not particularly known for Rhinoplasty) but they were so secretive that they never allowed juniors to watch or learn their surgery , Especially if you weren't a plastic surgeon – I would go so far as to say it was considered a sin for an ENT surgeon to even think of Rhinoplasty, all that was expected from us was to divert cases like traffic policemen. As with all careers luck played a part, I joined as a Lecturer at theT.N.Medical college & B.Y.L Nair Hospital Mumbai,, the professor was very friendly with a German plastic surgeon and ordered a full Karl storz Rhinoplasty instrument set. KEY WORDS: RHINOPLASTY, NOSE DEFORMITY, CORRECTION OF NOSE DEFORMITY
