Is a radix graft a good idea?

Radix graft is a good idea for patients who need this. A low radix makes the lower third of the nose look larger as described by Leonardo da Vinci.therefore it actually makes the nose appear smaller. See a very experienced rhinoplasty surgeon Who is familiar with this technique for the best results. Look at before and after pictures of the surgeons work.

Radix grafts are routinely performed in the appropriate patient to achieve a natural  harmonious nasal appearance.
Keep in mind that following advice from a
surgeon on this or any other website who proposes to tell you exactly what to
without seeing photos and more importantly without examining you, physically feeling
your tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history and
discussing the pros and cons of the operative procedure would not be in your
best interest. Natural appearing results need to be individualized and what is appropriate
for one patient is not necessarily the best for someone else. I would suggest
that you find a surgeon with extensive rhinoplasty experience certified by the
American Board of Plastic Surgery and one who is ideally a member of The
American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) or a facial plastic
surgeon (otolaryngologist) that you trust and are comfortable with. You should
discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
Additional information about the procedure will
help you decide if it is a procedure that you want to pursue.
