One Profile to Rule Them All? A Neural Network Analysis of the Homogenizing Effect of Primary Rhinoplasty

This study illustrates that primary rhinoplasty patients have increased homogeneity postoperatively, particularly within surgeon cohorts. This is the first study in which the homogenizing effect of rhinoplasties are quantified with neural networks and show the quantifiable "signature" effect of a specific surgeon on their patients' appearances as a population. This study may impact how surgeons set patients' expectations. Level of Evidence: 3 (Therapeutic).
