The Facial Appearance Sorting Test (FAST): an aid to the selection of patients for rhinoplasty

A simple test which requires a few minutes to administer and score is described as an aid to the selection of patients for rhinoplasty. The sorting of cards evaluating appearance is performed consistently over a period of time by individual subjects and by different groups of subjects. A numerical formula is proposed which allows for deviation from the common system of evaluating appearance in measuring support for an application for rhinoplasty.
