Why contracture and a crooked nose occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how they are corrected

A case of improving an upturned tip, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry that developed after four prior nasal surgeries and filler injections, using foreign material removal, septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, and silicone implant supplementation.

Why the nasal tip gets pinched and the columella retracts: how Medpor removal and reconstruction are performed

A case correcting a pinched nose caused by Medpor discovered after three surgeries and cartilage defects, through foreign material removal and full reconstruction of the alar cartilages and septum using autologous rib cartilage.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose can look crooked again after dorsal hump correction and how osteotomy revision corrects it

A case where a crooked nasal bone and drooping bulbous tip remaining after previous dorsal hump correction were straightened through lateral osteotomy, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, hump rasping, and rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nostrils show excessively in an upturned nose, and how to correct nasal tip position

A clinical case improving excessive nostril show, a wide nasal bridge, and an upturned nose deformity through lower lateral cartilage repositioning, nasal tip repositioning, dorsal hump rasping, and inferior turbinate resection.

Why long-standing contracted noses and crooked noses occur together, and how reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why long-standing contracted noses and crooked noses occur together, and how reconstruction is performed

A case correcting a contracted nose, crooked nose, and pinched nostrils that developed after repeated surgeries, using silicone implant and scar tissue removal, nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, alar reconstruction with ear cartilage, and dermal grafting.

Why the nose looks bulbous and long after alar reduction, and how to correct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks bulbous and long after alar reduction, and how to correct it

A case where a bulbous nasal tip, drooping arrow nose, and weakened septum—occurring after alar reduction and implant surgery 12 years prior—were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasal shortening, and septoplasty.

Why the nose becomes bulbous after filler and thread lifts: Foreign body removal and nasal tip correction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose becomes bulbous after filler and thread lifts: Foreign body removal and nasal tip correction methods

A case where a bulbous nose and deviated septum after Hiko threads and nasal filler were improved through removal of the Hiko threads and filler, nasal tip reconstruction using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and nasolabial angle correction.

How to achieve height and a straight bridge line in a nose with thick, inelastic tip skin

A case where a straight bridge line was created in a bulbous, upturned nose with thick, inelastic skin through septal extension using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle correction.

How to reconstruct a nose with weakened septal cartilage without implants — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to reconstruct a nose with weakened septal cartilage without implants

A case where a septum weakened by excessive harvest was reinforced with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal structure was reconstructed without artificial implants using lateral osteotomy along with diced cartilage and dermis grafts.

Why the nose becomes upturned and shortened after illegal injection procedures, and how foreign body removal and reconstruction are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose becomes upturned and shortened after illegal injection procedures, and how foreign body removal and reconstruction are performed

A case where purulent foreign material injected into the nasal bridge during an illegal procedure was removed, contracted skin was released, and an upturned nasal tip and bridge line were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant.

Before-and-after comparison

Nasal bridge depression and nostril asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties: causes and reconstruction methods

A case where nasal bridge depression caused by skin necrosis and severe septal damage were improved with septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, cartilage and acellular dermal matrix grafts, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate.

Why nostrils appear triangular in an upturned nose, and how to correct nostril shape — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostrils appear triangular in an upturned nose, and how to correct nostril shape

To address an upturned nose, excessive nostril show, and a high radix resulting from multiple rhinoplasty procedures over an extended period, nostril-lowering surgery with composite cartilage and skin grafting was performed alongside functional nasal surgery.

Why replacing a cartilage nasal tip with an L-shaped silicone implant causes problems — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why replacing a cartilage nasal tip with an L-shaped silicone implant causes problems

A case where a previously replaced L-shaped silicone implant was removed, the nasal tip was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal bridge was replaced with an I-shaped implant to correct an upturned nose and a tilted columella.

Why the nose deviates and the nasal tip turns bulbous after two-jaw surgery, and how to create a dorsal hump line with autologous rib cartilage

A case where a septum damaged after two-jaw surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, combined with lateral osteotomy and columella lowering, improving a crooked nose and bulbous tip.
