Faces and noses vary widely within every population. A broad ethnic label cannot determine a person’s anatomy, goals or appropriate surgical plan.

Begin with individual anatomy
The assessment considers the actual nasal structure, breathing, skin, earlier treatment and the person’s priorities. Avoid assuming that everyone from a region needs the same changes.[1]
Discuss goals without stereotypes
Explain the features you wish to discuss and the features you want to preserve. The clinician should consider function as well as appearance and explain the limits and risks of treatment.
Use photographs carefully
Images can help communicate preferences, but another person’s result cannot predict your own. Ask what is realistic for your anatomy and recovery.
