  • Management of Glabella-Radix Deficiency in Combination with Asian Rhinoplasty

    Abstract
    The management of brow-tip aesthetic lines remains technically challenging. The authors describe implantation of a customized Gore-Tex prosthesis combined with primary and secondary augmentation rhinoplasty to address the glabella-radix deficiency.
    We conclude that deformities of brow-tip contour lines coincide with glabella-radix deficiencies in terms of severity. Knowledge of the patterns of brow-tip lines, combined with postoperative image simulation, can help the surgeon design an appropriate glabella-radix prosthesis. When placed in conjunction with augmentation rhinoplasty procedures, the glabella-radix implant yields sufficient, predictable nasal projection and a harmonious nasal beauty.
