Is it suitable for me to have paranasal/pyriform implants? (Photo)

ArtoRealSelfJul 14, 2022
I would like to do rhinoplasty to remodel the nose tip width, dorsum width as well as septum. But, I also seem to have a depressed paranasal region, which spans from the upper jaw right to under the eye area. I expect doing the implant in this area, because they will also make my nose seem less projected. Are paranasal implants a suitable solution, given I want my nose to appear less projected, my midface more projected (convex), and upper lip moved slightly forward?
