AAO-HNSF Clinical Practice Guideline: Improving Nasal Form and Function after Rhinoplasty
The primary purpose of this guideline is to provide evidence-based
recommendations for clinicians who either perform rhinoplasty or are
involved in the care of a rhinoplasty candidate, as well as to optimize
patient care, promote effective diagnosis and therapy, and reduce
harmful or unnecessary variations in care. The target audience is any
clinician or individual, in any setting, involved in the management of
these patients. The target patient population is all patients aged 15
years or older. The guideline is intended to focus on knowledge gaps,
practice variations, and clinical concerns associated with this surgical
procedure; it is not intended to be a comprehensive reference for
improving nasal form and function after rhinoplasty. Recommendations in
this guideline concerning education and counseling to the patient are
also intended to include the caregiver if the patient is less than 18
years of age.
