Is my radix too low, and would I benefit from a filler? (Photo)

July 9, 2016
Asked By:spence90 in Philadelphia, PA

I had a rhino in '09 & still have a hump (left picture). Some drs say a further reduction would impact my breathing. Other wouldn't change it. I'm aware of the revision risks, so I am looking into fillers. The red line in the photos shows where my radix falls. Currently (left) it falls just below my pupil, at my lower eyelid. Is this low? Is the right picture (photoshopped filler) more ideal, or would a filler make radix too projected/unnatural? I realize it's temp. Thank you for your help.
