Semih Yildiz, MD, FEBOPRAS · Answer

Compared with the first profile, the morphed image lowers and deepens the radix to create a more defined nasofrontal angle. That general change can be achieved in selected patients, but both photos crop much of the nasal tip and lower bridge, so they do not show whether the new radix would remain balanced with projection, dorsal width, and the rest of the face. Screen morphing also changes shadows and skin contours more freely than surgery can.

Radix reduction may require controlled removal of bone and cartilage, often combined with smoothing or narrowing of the adjacent bridge. Excessive lowering can produce an unnatural step, dorsal irregularity, an open roof, or loss of support. Bring both images to a rhinoplasty consultation and ask for standardized profile, frontal, and basal photographs with conservative simulations. The goal should be a smooth transition that preserves your facial identity, not an exact copy of a two-dimensional edit.

Yes, of course&mdash;it is a completely possible and realistic expectation. The newer ultrasonic techniques allow for precise bone reduction and reshaping.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

Yes, the radix can be reduced.  You may also need the dorsum straightened as well.

Best Wishes,

Based on your before photo, and what you morphed, you appear to have taken away the bump below your radix. I do believe this can be achieved with either rhinoplasty surgery or revision rhinoplasty surgery. Please consider with meeting with several reputable rhinoplasty specialists who have large galleries of favorable before and after photos, and many favorable online consumer reviews. I hope this helps. Sincerely, Dr Joseph
