What is a safe amount that the radix can be lowered by?

Question

I want to reduce my radix by 4-5mm but I heard that removing a lot is tricky and can cause bony irregularities. I want to know what is safe and realistic for this procedure.

The radix can be lowered by 1-2 mm. Sometimes can not be lowered at all. It is all individual. Reducing it more than 2 mm is not safe

Some patients have a very pronounced radix. They also frequently have a large dorsal hump. The radix can be lowered several millimeters or more with either rasps or a "chisel". There different techniques that are then used to make sure the dorsum remains smooth. it all depends o how it looks afteer the radix and dorsum have been lowered.
