Does Radix Reduction Require a Very Specialized Surgeon? (photo)

Most of what you need to know has been well said here by others. It's possible technically, and not all that difficult, to reduce a radix.

But you need a careful and expert consultation. In rhinoplasty, every part of the nose you change has a secondary appearance effect on another part of the nose.

If your radix were reduced in the profile view, which you want, it will make the base of your nose look wider on the front view. So despite your being happy with the rest of the nose, it may be necessary to narrow the dorsal width as well to maintain nasal harmony.

In summary:  You can achieve your goal, keep an open mind and see the local experts for an evaluation.

 

Good luck.

You have an interesting  but reasonable request. Your surgeon will need to use a power burr with protection of the overlying skin. Good luck.
