How to correct a crooked nose, nasal obstruction, and nasal tip structure together

Hello, I am Dr. Peter C. Kang.

Today, I would like to introduce the case of a patient who visited us due to concerns about nasal obstruction and a crooked nose.

Through this case, I will explain the importance of rhinoplasty that considers both function and aesthetics.

• 2015: Silicone implant and septal surgery

• Improvement of nasal obstruction

• Increasing nasal tip height

• Correction of crooked nose

1. Front view

• Nose deviated to the left

• Bulbous nasal tip

• Excessive nostril show

2. Profile view

• Depressed nasal tip

• Columella not visible between the alae

3. Oblique view

• Bulbous nasal tip

• Protruding mouth findings

4. Nostril view

• Left-right asymmetry

• Columella tilted to the left

1. Reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage

• Restoration of septal cartilage damaged during previous surgery

• Reinforcement of nasal tip support

• Improvement of asymmetric structure

2. Septal extension graft

• Correction of deviated nasal tip

• Improvement of bulbous nasal tip

• Correction of nostril asymmetry

3. Functional improvement surgery

• Correction of deviated septum

• Rhinitis surgery

1. Front view improvement

• Correction of crooked nose

• Creating a defined nasal tip

• Correction of alar asymmetry

2. Profile view improvement

• Natural nasal tip height

• Correction of a blunt nasal tip line

• Columellar exposure

• Refined profile line

3. Oblique view improvement

• A masculine nasal bridge line

• Improvement of protruding mouth

4. Nostril view improvement

• Improvement of nostril asymmetry

• Improvement of left-tilted columella

5. Functional improvement

• Correction of deviated septum

• Widening the nasal airway by reducing the size of hypertrophied inferior turbinates

• Improvement of nasal obstruction

The key in this type of case was balanced improvement in both function and aesthetics. By reconstructing the deviated septum with autologous rib cartilage and simultaneously reinforcing support for the nasal tip, we were able to achieve a stable long-term result.

In particular, functional issues such as nasal obstruction directly impact quality of life. By straightening the crooked nose while simultaneously improving respiratory function, we were able to achieve high patient satisfaction.

I will continue to do my best to ensure both functional and aesthetic satisfaction for our patients.

I hope this is helpful to those with similar concerns.

This was Dr. Peter C. Kang. Thank you.
