The city of Dallas is gearing up to host the 42nd Annual Dallas Rhinoplasty Meeting, a landmark event in the field of cosmetic surgery. Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Rod J. Rohrich will chair the event, which is scheduled from February 28 to March 2, 2025. This prestigious symposium aims to enhance the understanding and skills of rhinoplasty surgeons, showcasing the delicate interplay of art and science involved in the procedure.

This meeting has a rich history, having been an educational hub for over two decades, where more than 20,000 surgeons from around the globe have convened to gain insights and share knowledge. It aims not only to educate but also to elevate the standards of rhinoplasty procedures.

A Hub for Innovations

Attendees can expect to delve into the latest advancements in rhinoplasty techniques. This year’s program includes discussions on nasal tip rotation and projection, preservation rhinoplasty, and strategies to avoid common complications. There will also be dedicated sessions on revision rhinoplasty and dead space closure principles, all geared toward improving patient outcomes in this complex surgical field.

A standout feature of the meeting is its unique hands-on cadaver lab, which allows participants to practice the techniques they learn from experts. Known as one of the largest cadaver dissection workshops available, this forum epitomizes the meeting's emphasis on experiential learning. Participation in such an environment is critical for those looking to hone their skills in rhinoplasty.

Educational Excellence

Dr. Rohrich emphasizes the importance of specialized educational opportunities, stating, "The Dallas Rhinoplasty Meeting is one of the most prolific and impactful educational experiences for surgeons studying rhinoplasty." He believes that any plastic surgeon or otolaryngologist with an interest in improving their rhinoplasty technique should prioritize this symposium.

Over the years, the event has initiated substantial advancements within the field, such as the transition to the 'open approach', which is now the predominant technique in rhinoplasty. The widespread adoption of this method underscores the meeting's influence and its commitment to pushing boundaries in surgical practices. Additionally, the symposium has led to the creation of a widely regarded textbook, Dallas Rhinoplasty: Nasal Surgery by the Masters, further solidifying its reputation in medical education.

Honoring Pioneers

A special keynote lecture will pay tribute to Dr. Jack P. Gunter, the late founder of the Dallas Rhinoplasty Symposium. This is a poignant reminder of the impact that visionary leaders have had on the field of plastic surgery and the ongoing commitment to excellence in education.

As the emeritus editor-in-chief of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal, and having published over one thousand peer-reviewed articles, his credentials speak volumes about his dedication to both practice and research.

Continuing Education

As a clinical professor of plastic surgery at Baylor College of Medicine and a founding partner at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute, Dr. Rohrich dedicates his efforts to ensuring that future generations of plastic surgeons receive high-quality education and training. He believes that the mastery of rhinoplasty—a notably complex procedure—requires years of practice and ongoing learning. The Dallas Rhinoplasty Meeting serves as a platform to empower surgeons in their pursuit of excellence, equipping them with the tools necessary for optimal long-term patient outcomes.
