Dr. Rod Rohrich - Visiting Professor at the University of Pittsburgh Lectures on Principles for Developing Consistent Long-term Results in Rhinoplasty and Facelifting

Dr. Rohrich's lectures to the Greater Pittsburgh Plastic Surgeon Society focused on the life-long journey of developing the skills and principles to obtain consistently good results in rhinoplasty using the open approach, as well as how the role of fat grafting has revolutionized facelift surgery today. He has expounded upon this from his experience and expertise in training and teaching over 10,000 rhinoplasty surgeons worldwide as the chair of the annual Dallas Rhinoplasty meeting, which helps plastic surgeons transform into rhinoplasty surgeons. This meeting is held each March in Dallas, Texas, and teaches the surgeons both basic and complex skills and principles of performing a safe open rhinoplasty procedure.  

"It is my honor, privilege, and my way of giving back to teach the next generation of plastic surgeons the art and science of both rhinoplasty and facelift surgery," stated Dr. Rohrich.

At the University of Pittsburgh's Department of Plastic Surgery, one of the leading plastic surgery departments in the world, Dr. Rohrich further expounded upon these principles to both residents and faculty in a systematic manner in order to teach how to do these complex operations safely, efficiently, and with consistently good outcomes. Long-term results in both facelift and rhinoplasty surgery truly tell the story of whether you can perform these complex procedures in an effective manner.

"The scientific aspect of studying all your patients prospectively and respectively is how we advance the science of cosmetic surgery," Dr. Rohrich stated during his keynote lectures at the University of Pittsburgh.
