Is reduction of the radix possible to this extent? (Photos)

Question

I am curious as to wether or not it is possible to reduce the radix drastically like the photo without causing a slope transition sort of look from forehead to radix. Can the radix be bluntly lowered like this?

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

Deepening the radix that much is pretty tough to do. It would require scooping out the bone and this could lead to bony irregularities. I think you can have it deepened somewhat but not as much as you illustrate

Robert Ciardullo, MD · Answer

Deepening the radix: deepening the radix, particularly in a female is a very attractive improvement in the profile. However the amount you illustrate in your simulation is somewhat excessive. I would say that somewhere between 50 and 60% of the reduction you illustrate would be achievable and aesthetically pleasing.
