Should Asian Nose-concerns (Ie:fractures, Broken Nose, Sinusitis) Be Approached & Diagnosed Like Other Ethnicities?
ininApr 10, 2013
I am an Asian female, and I was recently headbutted directly onto the bridge of my nose. My nose physically feels different(indented?) and my breathing feels different ever since the injury. It has been 2 weeks now. Bruising and swelling have gone down. I did research & many Asian-rhinoplasty specialists state there's an anatomical difference between Asian noses and other ethnicities. Will a regular Otolaryngologist [without much exp. w/Asian noses] be able to diagnose/evaluate me effectively?
