Rhinoplasty is considered one of the most commonly performed and most challenging operations in facial plastic surgery. The modern facial plastic surgeon utilizes many instruments in performing this procedure. Many of these instruments take their names from the pioneers who invented or designed them. Although meritorious, the recent trend in medicine to move away from eponyms in lieu of descriptive names should not come at the price of forgetting history. Although this communication does not seek to provide a comprehensive history of rhinoplasty or of its pioneers, our aim is to mention several of the salient contributing figures upon whose shoulders we stand and whose eponymous instruments we use commonly in rhinoplasty.
隆鼻术被认为是面部整形手术中最常施行且最具挑战性的手术之一。现代面部整形外科医生在施行该手术时会使用多种器械。这些器械中的许多都以发明或设计它们的先驱者命名。尽管有其功绩，但医学领域最近用描述性名称取代以人名命名的趋势，不应以忘却历史为代价。虽然本交流并非旨在全面介绍隆鼻术或其先驱者的历史，但我们的目的是提及几位杰出的贡献人物，我们站在他们的肩膀上，并且在隆鼻术中常用他们以人名命名的器械。
