If I decide to get a radix filler to make my radix higher, since it's gel, will it get messed up when I scrunch my face? This might sound dumb but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way

Answer: Radix fillers? Fillers can work nicely in this area as a temporary fix. Moving your face shouldn't cause any problems with the filler. It is very important to find an experienced injector to treat this area as it is a less common area to inject. Experience will minimize the risk of any problems following the injection. I do agree with Dr. Peck that if you want to go down the surgical route, a radix graft is the only permanent option and it typically creates very nice results.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Radix filler, radix graft The radix, the bridge just between the eyes, can be filled with an HA fill very safely and is placed deep to the muscle so you can still scrunch your nose. We also like fat grafting in this "soft" area in the bridge. There are many opinions on radix grafts, however they are often easily felt or can be movable and we look for other solutions first.
