Absolutely — reference photos are a genuinely helpful part of the consultation. They give Dr. Kim a visual shorthand for the direction you're drawn to, whether that's a straighter bridge, a more refined tip, or a softer overall profile.
The important context to keep in mind is that a reference photo shows a direction, not a guaranteed outcome — the same nose shape can look different on different bone structures, skin thicknesses, and facial proportions. Dr. Kim will explain how a reference translates realistically onto your specific anatomy, adjusting the plan so the result looks like a naturally improved version of your own face rather than someone else's nose.
Consultation Tip
Bring 2-3 reference photos rather than just one — showing a small range helps Dr. Kim understand the underlying preference (straighter vs. softer, higher vs. more subtle) rather than fixating on a single exact image.
