Rhinoplasty is one of my favorite procedures to perform. The radix area is an area that commonly requires augmentation. While the radix can often be improved in all races and ethnicities, the radix graft is often a significant component to rhinoplasty in Asian noses as well as African American noses. In addition to narrowing the nose including the nasal bones, and the mid vault, adding the radix graft can lengthen the nose and make it appear more feminine. The radix graft can also be used in many middle eastern noses that have a significant dorsal hump that require reduction. Reducing the hump can often make a low radix appear to shorten the nose. The radix graft can recreate the appropriate length.
