Acoustic Rhinometry is mentioned as an objective measurement for functional rhinoplasty in the May 2017 issue and review by Facial Plastic Surgery Clinics of North America: Functional Rhinoplasty

Conclusion: “Acoustic Rhinometry may become a helpful diagnostic tool as use of the technique grows. It may help the clinician in making an anatomical diagnosis to pinpoint the location and etiologic factors causing nasal obstruction. It also allows the clinician to objectively document the degree of nasal obstruction and monitor the effectiveness of treatment. Perhaps in the future, acoustic rhinometry may play a role not only in research, but also in the physician office.”
