How can this procedure of Glabella/radix and philtrum augmentation be done? Better with done with grafts or fillers?
Answer: Augmenting glabella/radix
Natural cartilage harvested from the septum is the most common type of graft used to fill out the bridge and the radix. Elevating the tip and opening up the nasolabial angle is usually done by trimming the cartilaginous caudal septum. We do not recommend any fillers be placed inside of the nose because of disastrous complications due to them.

Answer: Glabella/Radix and Philtrum Augmentation
Thanks for the posted photos!!! It really helps discuss. I would first try fillers to these areas to see if the appearance is what you want. If not than these fillers will metabolize away in a few months. But if you like the result than some form of grafting either cartilage of bony can be done. Best of luck.

Answer: Philtral Fillers and glabellar concerns.
There are a variety of fillers avaialble with Restylane or Juvederm being some of the most popular for the lips. The glabellar area is more challenging due to rare reports of vascular occlusion with tissue necrosis. This is probably less likely with fat grafting.

Answer: Glabellar radix and philtral augmentation All three can be done with filler but only the glabellar and radix can be grafted. The advantages of fillers are that they are reversible. You can try it to see if you like the new look. If you do and want a more permanent solution than a surgical procedure with grafts would be your answer. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to help you make this important decision. I hope this was helpful.

Answer: Radix and philtrum better with fillers or grafts?
Philtrum is better augmented with fillers. The same is true of the radix, unless you are having a rhinoplasty--then grafts are more advantages.
