Glabella/radix augmentation?

Question

Is it possible to shape the skin between the eyes to make it sharper and more defined? And could it become flatter as a result of a standard rhinoplasty?

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

During rhinoplasty surgery, if the root of somebody's nose needs to be raised, this may be done with either cartilage or gore-Tex. Raising the root of the nose can also be accomplished with injectable fillers. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Hi
It is better for you to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and discuss the surgical procedure and the post op recovery 
process.

Hello and thank you for your question. When placing Ila radix graft, I always use a soft fascial graft with diced cartilage. This has a much better long-term result with lesd malposition risk than a solid Cartilage graft. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified rhinoplasty surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Best wishes and good luck.
