I believe I have a low radix. In addition, there really isn't any transition from the radix to the forehead (due to the heavy frontal bone). Is there any way that rhinoplasty (maybe in combination with brow bone reduction) can obtain the desired looks I have attached.

Answer: Rhinoplasty Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you appear to have a low set radix. Radix augmentation can be performed with diced cartilage wrapped in fascia. Based on your goal pictures you also may want to consider tip refinement and dorsal convexity reduction. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and not just a computer animation system. You should be able to view numerous pictures of actual patients with noses similar to yours performed by your surgeon. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G.

Answer: The short answer is yes A good rhinoplasty plan will take into account your concerns, including the depression in the radix (called a low radix) and use a variety of techniques to augment that area. This can be done easily through a closed rhinoplasty and a cartilage graft.
