The deepest point of the nose (where the upper nose joins the forehead) is the radix, which is both the root and the starting point of the nose. “Radix” is a clinical definition. Other structures of the nasal root, such as the nasofrontal suture and sellion, are anatomical definitions that do not correspond to the radix; we do not need to know these structures. When analysing the nose, it is necessary to commence at the radix; this is the starting point of the nasal structure. Radix position and height determine the nasal profile. If this is to be ideal (well-proportioned), the radix must be in the right place. Meticulous analysis is necessary using two descriptive parameters. |
