Considering a rhinoplasty - Is it possible for the radix to be widened?

Emmaleigh_MarieNov 29, 2022
I have a relatively small nose; specifically in the radix area, accompanied by deep set, hollow eyes. I strongly believe that if my nose had more mass in this area, I would not only look more symmetrical, but more awake and alive. I haven't seen many doctors talk about widening noses as everyone mostly wants their nose smaller. Is there anything that can be done to dramatically change the size? Thank you in advance! This has been bothering me for ages.

This area is quite far from where the columellar graft would be so I would not expect the graft to be involved in this process.

Hello! Thank you for your question. As far as I can understand from your question we will not recommend any treatment for your nose until 1 year post op. It would be better to ask about your surgeon. Although, you may do rest of your face after your edema is gone. Best Regards!
