Add height to bridge during revision or with fillers or not at all?

April 26, 2016
Asked By:greatfret in California, CA

I find that my bridge was slightly over resected during my primary - a mm or two. I do feel it makes a difference, and I've noticed it since day 1. I know when I revise the tip by adding projection to it, it won't look as small as it does now, however I'd rather have a straight nose than an ever so slightly scooped one. However, I'm not sure how this would be done in revision since it's a minimal height problem, and was considering just using fillers instead. Is that a good idea?
