The Dr. I saw recently gave 2 options to slim my bridge, specifically the area between my eyes. 1. Brow modification, a minor lift to narrow the part of my nose in between my eyes & streamline it with my new thinner bridge. 2. Trimming some muscle fibers out of this area at the top part of my bridge. I chose not to do the brow modification, I am worried it will change the look of my eyes. Is the trimming of the muscles on that part of the bridge a regularly practiced part of thinning out a nose?
