Hi, i want to get a rhinoplasty done and i want to know the type of procedure u need to remove a dent on the bridge of my nose (right between my eyes) i feel like it sinks in too much and id like it to go straight down or have a slight curve unlike the exxagerated one i have right now. Do i need a radix implant? Do i need open or closed rhinoplasty? Also, im not interested in monthly fillers or anything like that... so im not considering that an option for me. Thank you!

Answer: Radix augmentation Thank you for your photo. I generally prefer using a patient's own tissue (Cartilage and fascia) over an implant to augment a nose. The results are long-lasting as your body incorporates the tissue and there is a lower risk of infection. This can be done with a c losed rhinoplasty. It is best to have an in-office examination to determine which treatment you are a best candidate for. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Plastic Surgery

Answer: Rhinoplasty candidate for radix graft Rhinoplasty candidate for radix graftplacement is for patients who have a shallow glabella. There are many different types of grafting materials that can be used there including the patients own cartilage. This can be performed with a closed rhinoplasty approach, with all of the incisions placed on the inside of the nose. For more information and many examples of rhinoplasty, please see the link and the video below
