A high glabella or a high radix can be distinguished from having a high nasal bridge overall. One case described large nasal bones, a high radix, a dorsal hump, and a drooping tip together. Another patient addressed an unnatural appearance from the profile view, where partial absorption of donor dermis on the bridge made the radix look excessively high.
There was also a finding where remaining filler in the glabella made the area look high and wide. In this case collection, you can review not only the position of the radix, but also how the glabella connects down to the nasal bridge and nasal tip, along with previously used materials. Compare the articles to see the specific backgrounds documented and what was adjusted in the current surgery, even under the shared concern of a high radix.

Following prior surgeries, a bulbous and drooping long nose with an excessively high radix and nasal obstruction was corrected using a closed approach. Scar tissue debridement, osteotomy, nasolabial angle correction, and septoplasty were performed concurrently.
Preoperative condition
A case involving a long, drooping nasal tip and nasal obstruction following previous rhinoplasty with a silicone implant and septal cartilage. The nasal tip was corrected using autologous rib cartilage, performed concurrently with septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction, and synechia adhesiolysis.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A high, deviated silicone implant was replaced to lower the radix, and septal extension was performed using donor rib cartilage. Partial soft tissue resection, cartilage tie, and rhinitis surgery addressed the bulbous tip and nasal obstruction.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
To correct septal cartilage loss from 3 prior surgeries, a short nose appearance, and a bulbous tip, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and the radix was lowered.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
Nostril asymmetry caused by a tilted columellar axis and loss of alar cartilage after Gore-Tex insertion was corrected through Gore-Tex removal, autologous rib cartilage alar reconstruction, and septoplasty.
Preoperative condition
A deviated septum and an excessively high radix resulting from a previous surgery were precisely corrected using donor rib cartilage septal reconstruction, silicone implant replacement, osteotomy, and inferior turbinate reduction.
Preoperative condition
To correct the residual deviated nasal bone, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction remaining after a previous silicone rhinoplasty, the existing implant was removed and lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, and septoplasty were performed.
Preoperative condition
Silicone implant deviation, excessive nostril show, and a high radix were corrected by removing the previous implant, reconstructing the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, placing a customized implant, and adjusting the nasolabial angle.
Preoperative condition
For a high radix, upturned nasal tip, and columellar and nostril asymmetry from a previous surgery, the implant was replaced, tip derotation was performed using autologous rib cartilage, and lower lateral cartilage correction was carried out.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
Correcting nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an overly high radix caused by repeated surgeries using autologous rib cartilage septal extension and height adjustment.
Preoperative condition
Following a previous implant surgery, issues with a high radix, crooked dorsum, and upturned tip were corrected using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A case where a septum weakened and deviated to the left from a previous surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage. Addressing both nasal obstruction and an upturned nose, the nasal tip was elongated, and the depressed nasal dorsum and nasolabial angle were corrected.
Preoperative condition
Due to residual foreign material from past illicit injections, an upturned nose and excessive nostril show persisted; the remaining foreign material was completely removed, and tip rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage was performed alongside radix adjustment.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
For a patient who experienced partial absorption of donor dermis on the nasal bridge and septal damage after multiple revision surgeries, the donor dermis was removed, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the skin was reinforced with retroauricular dermis.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
After surgery with a silicone implant and donor rib cartilage, a chalk-like nasal bridge and excessive nostril show occurred. A natural line was reconstructed through septal extension using autologous rib cartilage and alar rim lowering.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
For a drooping tip and retracted columella caused by septal cartilage damage following previous surgery with autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, the columella was restored, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
For a patient presenting with visible nasal tip cartilage and an upturned nose following previous surgery with a silicone implant and ear cartilage, we performed silicone implant removal, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, fat grafting, and skin reinforcement with donor dermis.
Preoperative condition
Post-nasal drip, a drooping tip, and a narrow columella were comprehensively improved through septal and inferior turbinate surgery, autologous cartilage septal extension, and alar reduction.

In these surgical records, the two expressions are clearly differentiated. One original record explains an unnatural look from the profile view where partial absorption of donor dermis lowered the nasal bridge, making the radix appear relatively high. Therefore, it is important to identify which specific area the height refers to. This is a case where the radix and the nasal bridge can be evaluated separately.
Yes. One patient's original record noted that residual filler in the glabella made it look high and spread out, and granuloma tissue had formed on the nasal bridge due to a foreign body reaction. This record demonstrates that rather than assuming a high radix is simply an issue with the nasal bone or an implant, one must consider both past procedure history and the actual materials identified during surgery.
