The area that you are describing is the radix of the nose. That area can be corrected with a filler that is temporary of a cartilage graft from your nose which is more permanent. An in person consultation with a facial plastic surgeon would help in your area.
Hello and thank you for your question. Surgical rhinoplasty can improve your deep set radix. Based on yourphotograph, you may benefit from a radix graft consisting of diced cartilage wrapped in fascia. Make sure you specifically look atbefore and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performedby your surgeon and not just a computer animation system.The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. Irecommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plasticsurgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G.

You should see a rhinoplasty expert who is board certified either in plastic or facial plastic surgery. Make sure that the surgeon you see performs both procedures, namely rhinoplasty surgeries and facial fillers. Only then can you know that the recommended treatment is the best option for you specifically. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, which are best discussed in person. With that said, building up the radix (deepest area of nose between the eyes) can be done surgically (longer lasting) and non-surgically (temporary). Filler injections in that area come with the risk of blood vessel occlusion and possible complications from that, hence the need for a board-certified nose expert. Best wishes!
The deep radix is best treated with a cartilage graft performed during a surgical rhinoplasty procedure. Fillers placed in that area do not work very well, are only temporary, and are not FDA approved for that application.
One opinion is to use a filler. If your happy with the results you may consider to continue with the filler. Very important that the person performing the injections does not inject blood vessels that are present in the area since this can have serious consequences. I hope you find this information useful.
Dear Savage KatThis is not an easy answer, based upon one partial lateral view.I suggest that you have more detailed photos(angles) and then computer morphing. Altering the appearance on the computer will give you a great understanding of the consequences any change would make upon your face as a whole.Good luck
The deepest part of the transition from your nose to your forehead is what we call the radix. Yours just happens to be particularly deep. A deep radix can be made less deep with a surgical rhinoplasty, or with dermal fillers (i.e. the "non-surgical rhinoplasty"). Seek out a consultation with a reputable rhinoplasty surgeon to get a better idea of what your options are.Best wishes! Harry V. Wright MD, Sarasota, Florida
Dear pjannahx94, You are early in the recovery phase and your splint was recently removed so you will see many adjustments with your nose over the coming next three months. I would suggest keeping close contact with your surgeon as he/she knows best what your proposed results were, what ...

Thank you for your photo. You have a dorsal hump which is caused by your natural nasal bones and cartilage and not by the glasses you wear. Your tip appears droopy relative to your convex dorsal hump, but this can be corrected at the same time as your dorsal hump with a rhinoplasty. If you wish...
