How would I describe this type of rhinoplasty to a doctor? (Photo)

Asked By:Versatile215765 in Young, Arizona

I'm Asian and looking into rhinoplasties I've noticed that in Asian rhinoplasty the radix often ends up higher on the nose after the procedure. While researching how to prevent this, I came across an article that addresses my exact concerns. I know that ultimately my surgeon will know what best suits my goals but how would I suggest this during the consult? If I describe it as a "chimeric dorsal-glabellar implant" will they know what I'm referring to?
