I'm female of 26 wanting revision rhinoplasty. I think my radix is fine but I would like it a little more deeper if this makes sense. Would I need this or is my radix fine? Just need to know if surgeons can achieve this or does it require skill Thank you in advance.
Answer: Rhinoplasty with hump reduction It appears that rather than deepening the radix you would benefit from dorsal hump reduction. Deepening the radix will only increase visibility of your hump and overall nasal deformity. In person evaluation is recommended; 3 D imaging (we use Crisalix software) would help to understand concept of rhinoplasty better. Good luck.

Answer: Well, yes, the radix of course can be deepened, but there are other issues as well... You have a strongly-projecting nose, which means the tip projects forward away from your face. We would want to bring the tip back closer to your face. The woman in the short video that I posted with this answer had a projecting nose that was "de-projected" with surgery. Then, when the tip is deprojected, it usually makes the nose *look* longer, as if the tip had drooped, so it's very important to elevate the tip as well. And you have that bump to take down. You are right, however, about the radix. It looks mostly okay right now, but if the bump is taken down and the tip is deprojected, the radix will then look very prominent, like a Roman statue, so it should be reduced. If you only have the hump on the bridge taken down, your nose would look worse after surgery. The projection and length and radix must be addressed. Rhinoplasty is an exquisitely difficult operation to get right, and you should only have surgery if you are able to make yourself very confident in your surgeon's skills. The changes I described above require advanced techniques, requiring skill that most plastic surgeons don't possess with expertise. For most noses, it's much better to not have surgery than to have inexpertly-performed surgery. Read my essay on how to stay out of trouble while selecting a rhinoplasty surgeon. Your nose is also a perfect example of why computer imaging is mandatory in rhinoplasty. You need to know exactly what the surgeon is planning to accomplish -- what features he thinks he can change, and by how much he thinks he can change them. I always email morphs to my online rhinoplasty consultations. When you see the surgeon's goals in the morphs, you'll know whether he has an eye for an attractive nose, and whether he shares your opinion of what constitutes an attractive nose. You'll also know whether the changes he proposes are large enough to be meaningful to you, and whether he understands your wishes enough to address all of your priorities. How would you ever get that figured out without the morphs?! But remember, you're not the surgeon for his skills with the computer. The doctor must then show you his before and after photos to prove that he can actually accomplish what he draws on the computer.
