Glabella/Radix and Philtrum Augmentation

Hi,

The augmentation of your glabella/radix and philtrum can be accomplished with either grafts or fillers.  Using grafts is a more permanent fix.  Best to choose your surgeon most carefully and consult with him/her regarding the pros and cons of each.  Good luck and be well.

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.
