Deep indent between my brows from surgery as an infant. Could I correct it with rhinoplasty, fillers, or something else? (Photo)

I've had the indent since I was a baby but it's getting significantly more obvious as I age. I have been told that it's in an area that is complicated to work on. I have scoured before and afters for years and have never seen a surgical/non-surgical rhinoplasty or forehead contour result that specifically addressed this part of the nose/brow. I don't really mind the shape of my nose otherwise. Could a brow bone reduction help? I wouldn't even know what to ask a doctor for during a consult.

Hello! Thank you for your question.I have evaluated your case from the photos you provided. I recommend you a rhinoplasty surgery. Your nostrils are long and they're showing too much, the tip looks droopy. With a rhinoplasty surgery you can have a more elegant and more defined nose. Best regards!
