“Perfect” is a strong word for a feature that sits at the centre of a living face. Still, people search for it every day: perfect nose, female perfect nose, perfect male nose, cute perfect nose.

As a facial surgeon, I meet patients with all kinds of goals — some want to refine the bridge of their nose, others want to improve breathing, and some are simply seeking balance and proportion. But when a patient is a singer, the conversation shifts.
