Is it possible to strengthen the radix? Rhinoplasty + tissue graft (Photo)

Question

I have a radix which is too thin for my liking and would like it strengthened to match the width of my nasal bone, to have continuity. One surgeon confidently suggested using a fascia graft as a viable, permanent solution. Whilst another surgeon recently told me that it would look unnatural with visible edges, leaving me very disappointed. I would like to know what else could be done and am open to other permanent alternatives, whilst aiming to look natural. Please let me know.

Hi, It is better for you to consult with your facial plastic surgeon who can examine you and give you opinion based on examination. Yes it is possible

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

Fat grafting would be an easy way to widen your radix without the risk of osteotomies or cartilage grafts which could leave palpable irregularities in this area.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

You might try fillers before even having a surgical rhinoplasty. Otherwise the fascia  could work well

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

Placement of fascia graft in the area, if properly done, is a very good option to augment narrow radix. One can also think of crushed cartilage or even bone grafts. The easiest solution would be a filler; that may be the way to start with, just to see the effect of radix augmentation. Good luck.

Based on your photos, I can see that the upper nasal bone area is a bit narrow, and on profile, the root of your nose is a bit deep. Depending on your examination, microdroplet Silikon-1000 injections may be considered for widening the narrowed area on front view, and camouflaging your bump on profile. Several treatments at monthly intervals are longer might be necessary for a desired result. I hope this helps! Sincerely, Dr Joseph
