[The mongoloid nose]

The more precise term "mongoloid" should be used in the place of "oriental" and "asian". The nose of the Han race constitutes the most typical example. The description of "intermediary", usually used to describe this nose is insufficient, as it has a very particular type which contributes to the "Asian triad". A study conducted by Chengdu tries to overcome this deficiency. This information is particularly useful in that aesthetic rhinoplasty, performed increasingly frequently for this type of nose, raises specific problems and requires particular caution to avoid excessive correction which may be disastrous in a small face.
