Glabella/radix/bump reduction: are my desired results attainable? (Photos)

April 16, 2018
Asked By:spoilers11 in Huntington Beach, CA

I have a slightly protruding glabella, a very high radix, and a bump. I've seen many rhinoplasty pictures and I've never seen a high radix brought down low enough to my idea of beauty. I'm worried I won't be able to have the look I want, a very low radix/low bridge. Is this attainable? The first photo is me, the others are noses I like.

Answer: I think your desired results are attainable. Maybe not quite as small a nose as the models. See the morph I made from your photo
