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?
