What is the Best Way to Make my Nose Stronger and Fix Low Radix?
I have a low radix and nose that is quite small and isn't very symmetrical with the rest of the face. I need to increase volume of nose to make it more masculine. I am not sure nosejob would have a good risk/reward ratio as there are not many surgeons specializing in this type of procedure, most of hte time people want a smaller nose. I thought about fillers as a solution as well. The question is - what is the best, most efficient and recommended solution for a small nose?

How to make my nose appear more masculine.
From your pictures, it looks like you could benefit from a raised dorsal bridge. I prefer using a straight silastic dorsal inplant for this purpose. If the nasal tip needs to be refined, this can be done at the same time all through a closed Rhinoplasty.
