Why the nasal bridge looks artificial and the nose becomes upturned, and how to reconstruct it

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.

How the nose changes when donor rib cartilage is resorbed, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison

How the nose changes when donor rib cartilage is resorbed, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For a patient whose nasal tip had shrunk, whose alae appeared pinched, and whose nasal bridge developed scarring due to donor rib cartilage resorption, we performed alar reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, septal extension, and cartilage and dermal graft reinforcement.

How to refine only the nasal tip and transition area without an implant — Before-and-after comparison

How to refine only the nasal tip and transition area without an implant

To maintain the existing bridge line and address a crooked nose and dorsal hump without major changes, we performed implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and rhinitis surgery.

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Changes following nasal bridge skin necrosis after rhinoplasty and how reconstruction is performed

In a case with signs of nasal bridge skin necrosis and alar asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties, the nasal bridge and nostril shape were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage grafting, alar repositioning, and growth factor application.

Why bulbous noses are difficult to correct and the reconstruction method after foreign material removal — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous noses are difficult to correct and the reconstruction method after foreign material removal

For a bulbous nose and drooping tip blunted by past nasal filler and thread-lifting procedures, the foreign material was removed, and the nasal line was refined using septal cartilage, donor rib cartilage, and a silicone implant.

Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and turns upward: reinforcement and reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and turns upward: reinforcement and reconstruction methods

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.

Why post-nasal drip and a drooping tip occur together, and how septal extension and functional surgery address them — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why post-nasal drip and a drooping tip occur together, and how septal extension and functional surgery address them

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.

Why rib cartilage calcification must be evaluated in advance and correction methods for crooked and short noses — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why rib cartilage calcification must be evaluated in advance and correction methods for crooked and short noses

After evaluating calcification in the autologous rib cartilage, the 8th rib cartilage was harvested to correct a crooked nose, short nose, and nostril show, while an inferior turbinate reduction was performed concurrently to improve breathing function.

Why nostril asymmetry and a drooping tip develop: reconstruction combining different cartilages — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostril asymmetry and a drooping tip develop: reconstruction combining different cartilages

To correct congenital nostril asymmetry and a drooping nasal tip, residual filler and foreign material were removed, and septal extension was performed using both donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage.

Why the nose looks crooked and the columella tilts to one side, and how to correct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks crooked and the columella tilts to one side, and how to correct it

A mobile silicone implant, a tilted columella, and a crooked nasal bridge were corrected through the removal of the existing implant and foreign material, lateral osteotomy, and septal reinforcement using autologous rib cartilage.

Why a dorsal hump can reappear and nostrils become visible after hump reduction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a dorsal hump can reappear and nostrils become visible after hump reduction

Correction of a residual dorsal hump and excessive nostril show 17 years after hump surgery using residual filler removal, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.

Why the columella retracts and the nasal tip becomes bulbous years after rhinoplasty, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the columella retracts and the nasal tip becomes bulbous years after rhinoplasty, and how to reconstruct it

Columellar retraction and bulbous tip deformity after previous dorsal hump reduction and osteotomy were corrected through septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, columellar cartilage grafting, and lateral osteotomies.

Why nostrils narrow after illegal injections by unlicensed practitioners, and methods for removal and reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostrils narrow after illegal injections by unlicensed practitioners, and methods for removal and reconstruction

In a patient who developed nostril stenosis and a drooping tip from illegal injections administered by an unlicensed practitioner 20 years ago, we removed the foreign material and reconstructed the septum and lower lateral cartilage using autologous rib cartilage to improve the nasal shape.

Why the nose looks bulbous and spread out, and how to correct the nasolabial angle and columella — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks bulbous and spread out, and how to correct the nasolabial angle and columella

A wide, blunt nasal bridge, drooping nasal tip, and retracted columella were corrected into a slim, three-dimensional profile using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle correction, and nostril sill reduction.

Nose with remaining filler and threads: how much can rib cartilage reconstruction achieve after removal? — Before-and-after comparison

Nose with remaining filler and threads: how much can rib cartilage reconstruction achieve after removal?

To improve nasal bridge asymmetry and a blunt nasal shape resulting from nose filler and thread-lifting procedures, the foreign materials were removed, and tip support structures were established using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage.

Why the columella droops severely into an arrow nose, and rib cartilage reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison

Why the columella droops severely into an arrow nose, and rib cartilage reconstruction methods

For a patient presenting with a severely drooping columella, an arrow nose, and nostril asymmetry after previous surgeries, autologous rib cartilage septal extension and lower lateral cartilage repositioning were performed to improve tip drooping and asymmetry.

Why nostril asymmetry and an upturned tip remain after alar reduction and how to correct them — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostril asymmetry and an upturned tip remain after alar reduction and how to correct them

A revision rhinoplasty case where nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an implant step-off visible after alar reduction were corrected through structural reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, and nasolabial angle correction.
