Is Procerus muscle and soft tissue removal apart of radix reduction process? (Photo)

Asked By:bearboo0004 in Miami, FL

I've seen a few doctors mention procures muscle and soft tissue removal in the radix area and I'm curious as to what that is? When I touch my nose I can pinch a chunk of soft tissue in the radix area. I'm not sure if the bone is wide or if its the soft tissue surrounding. Should I get my radix thinned or should I get the soft tissue/procerus muscle removed.. or both? I'd also love the radix lowered closer towards my eyelid from the profile view.
