Hello, I'm an 20 year-old African-American male and the space directly between my eyes (I believe referred to as the 'nasion') is extremely deep. Because of this depth, it adds a really unattractive slouch to my glabella/nasion area. Is there any type of procedure that would be able to fix this issue? Thank you.

Answer: Rhinoplasty
Your posted photos show a wider than usual spacing between the inner corners of the eyes. This makes the depression in the nasion seem more profound. Moving the inner corners closer together is a very big operation. My suggestion would be to put something temporary in the nasion area such as an injectable filler or even sterile salt water. If you are happy with the result then proceed. There are implants available that are specifically made for the nasion or radix and are more reliant and permanent solutions than injectable fillers..
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Answer: Nasion correction
I would recommend only fat grafting unless you were interested in a formal rhinoplasty in which case I would recommend placing a cartilage graft to this space.
All the best,
