title: John Orlando Roe--not Jacques Joseph--the father of aesthetic rhinoplasty.
abstract: By a careful analysis of numerous medical articles, this article emphasizes that John Orlando Roe (1848-1915), an otolaryngologist from Rochester, New York, was the true father of aesthetic rhinoplasty--in contrast to the claims that incorrectly assign this role to Jacques Joseph of Berlin.
