Dr. Rod J. Rohrich Delivers Talk on Rhinoplasty as Kazanjian Visiting Professor
(PRWEB) June 17, 2014 -- Dallas plastic surgeon, Dr. Rod J. Rohrich, Professor and Chair of the Department of Plastic Surgery at UT Southwestern Medical Center, recently presented Harvard Medical School/Massachusetts General Hospital's prestigious Varaztad H. Kazanjian Memorial Lectureship and delivered a series of lectures to plastic surgery faculty and residents.
Dr. Rohrich, who completed postdoctoral studies at Harvard/MGH, was honored to serve as the Kazaanjian lecturer, "As someone who was trained at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard, it is truly a great honor to be invited back to the MGH as the Kazanjian Visiting Professor and to be recognized for my contributions to plastic surgery." The prestigious invitation is extended to plastic surgeons that have made significant contributions to the advancement of plastic surgery. The professorship, named after Dr. Varaztad H. Kazanjian, often considered a pioneer of modern plastic surgery, was a 1905 Harvard graduate and the university's first plastic surgery professor.
Dr. Rohrich presented "Rhinoplasty - Getting it Right the First Time - A 25 year Perspective" focused on the history of modern rhinoplasty, advances, and current techniques. As a distinguished Dallas rhinoplasty surgeon, Dr. Rohrich presented practical and technical information, including the practices that have made him a leader in both primary and secondary rhinoplasty. The presentation also touched on the emerging study of matching ethnic features while performing a rhinoplasty. Because rhinoplasty is an exceptionally difficult surgery, Dr. Rohrich emphasized the importance of preoperative planning, and the advantages offered by open rhinoplasty which allows surgeons to have direct access to the underlying nasal structures.
Dr. Rohrich says that careful preoperative planning, precise operative execution and long-term follow-up increase success rates significantly according to his research. Dr. Rohrich's presentation examined proven practices for achieving successful, individualized results for each rhinoplasty patient.
