Role of Joseph Elevator in Nasal Reconstruction

Do you know the rates of nasal reconstruction surgeries in western culture increases?

The nasal reconstruction or cosmetic surgery mirrors the history of plastic surgery, starting from what is the earliest plastic surgery recorded in India. Surgery becomes the most demanding and emerging globally.

Thus, these emergencies in history are related to more advancements in the healthcare field. Not only surgeries the type and techniques were focused on, but advancement in surgical instruments was also a point of consideration.
