Abstract In this invited discussion, we applaud the authors of “Awareness of Facial Asymmetry and Its Impact on Postoperative Satisfaction of Rhinoplasty Patient” for their efforts to reinforce the importance of recognizing facial asymmetry preoperatively in the rhinoplasty patient. They can be applauded for translating this known key factor into data in the form of validated patient-reported outcomes tools. The study could be improved by better defining the asymmetry that the study patients had and investigating the symmetry of the surgical result. Furthermore, we provide suggestions for how to better counsel patients on facial asymmetry and its effects on their rhinoplasty result.
