I have a large nose with a bump, and I would like not only the bump taken out, but also the size of the root of my nose shaved down so that I have a more defined transition from forehead to nose, is this difficult to do from the surgeons viewpoint or even possible?

Answer: Radix reduction Hi there, thank you for your question.In your case, I do think you can reduce the bump in your nose and improve the transition between the forehead and the nose as the reduction you need in the root of the nose is subtle. I believe you have been told about the difficulty in radix reduction because for patients with a very high root of the nose - where the forehead blends in with the nose without a step off - reduction might not be possible. I do not think this is your case.I would recommend a photo simulation for you so you can better define your nasal shape goals with your surgeon and determine if your goals are attainable. good luck

Answer: Radix reduction It is not difficult, and it can be done at the same time in your rhinoplasty. I do thin that some minor reduction of the radix will be needed but not too much.Go for it, you can achieve a really good improvement with a rhinoplasty.Best of luck,
