The Rhinoplasty Society Honors Surgeon Rod J. Rohrich

Named after the pioneer of modern nasal surgery, the Jacques Joseph Award highlights surgeons who effectively balance functional nasal health with aesthetic precision. Dr. Rohrich, whose career includes leadership roles at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute and a tenure as chair of plastic surgery at UT Southwestern, has long been a proponent of evidence-based education. His influence is rooted in an extensive body of work, spanning over 1,000 peer-reviewed articles and eight textbooks that serve as foundational references for specialists.

During The Rhinoplasty Society’s 2026 annual meeting in Boston, Rohrich served as faculty, leading discussions on preservation techniques and nasal tip refinement. His approach focuses on demystifying complex procedures to ensure consistent outcomes for patients. Beyond his clinical practice, his role as the emeritus Editor-in-Chief of the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal and his past presidency of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons underscore his commitment to setting global standards in the specialty.
