Is radix augmentation necessary for dorsal hump removal if you have a low radix?

Asked By:dk69420 in Austin, Texas

I have a low radix -- every surgeon I've consulted with has remarked on how my radix is underdeveloped -- and it makes my dorsal hump look bigger than it actually is. However, I'm a bit nervous about augmenting my radix as I'm afraid of the "avatar" look and feel my lower radix is more effeminate. Do people with a low radix NEED augmentation to fully shave down their dorsal hump, or not necessarily?
