Creating Facial Balance with Hydroxyapatite Filler?
I want to balance my wide and prominent nose by making my browbone and T-zone more prominent and form a more well-defined "T-shape". I do not want a rhinoplasty. I consulted a plastic surgeon and he says a filler called "hydroxyapatite" is a safe and long-lasting option for me. I want something safe, permanent (or lasts AT LEAST 10 years), and preferably non-surgical. Is this possible? What choices do I have for this? Thanks!
