What would be the best way to fix my nose (low radix) (photo)

The radix can be grafted at the time that the hump is reduced.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA.......

Yes the radix can be augmented which will give you better balance to your nose after hump removal, raising your hanging columella, and refining and slightly increasing the projection of the tip. You do not need more rotation however.  See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for the best results.

Hi Snaplol,A rhinoplasty with the addition of grafting to your low radix will help you achieve your aesthetic goals.  The most important aspect of your treatment is that you make sure to choose your rhinoplasty surgeon most carefully.  Good luck and be well.Michael Persky, MDEncino, CA

What you want done is completely up to you, the best thing to do is to go for consultations and ask the doctor if they can do all of this.Rhinoplasty typically starts at $5,500 depending on the area you live. To make sure you get the best possible result, the surgeon should perform a detailed exam of the nose and provide a realistic goal that you and your surgeon agree upon. Rhinoplasty are permanent, but with age facial features do change. Find a surgeon and go for a consult, I think you would be very happy after the surgery

I always prefer to use your own tissue for nasal surgery. Implants can extrude, move from side to side, and have visible transition lines. I routinely perform diced cartilage with temporal fascia grafting. I have been very pleased with the results and I would recommend it for your radix augmentation. The tip can be elevated as well.

Augmenting the radix is a common request from many patients.  I prefer not to use implants but to use tissue from within your own body if you choose to surgically augment this area.  However, non-surgical options do exist.  Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek..  3-dimensional computer imaging can help you visualize what you may look like afterwards and serve as an important communication tool with your surgeon

Radix augmentation can be accomplished with cartilage, fascia, or a combination of both.  You are a good candidate for radix augmentation.  Seek out a true rhinoplasty expert, and seek multiple consultations.  All the Best.

 The best way to raise a low radix is to add a cartilage graft to that area. It's also important not to overdo the radix because of increasing  the length and height  of the nose. The majority of cases like this, we usually remove a portion of the dorsal hump and  add a radix graft for better profile balance.

Hello,Thank you for the question and  the photos.  Accomplishing the result that you have shown would require adding some height to your radix.  This can be accomplished in a number of ways including a diced cartilage graft.  A diced cartilage graft takes excess cartilage (i.e. from dorsum or septum), cuts it up into tiny pieces, and wraps them up in some connective tissue (fascia) that can be obtained from your scalp.  Once placed and healed, the grouping of small cartilage pieces heals as one and now your radix has more height.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta

You can fix a low radix with either surgery or even a filler such as Radiesse. Please see link below for several examples.
