Why the nose looks spread after nose filler without dissolving it, and how to create a slim line

For a nasal bridge that became wide and crooked after filler injections, accompanied by a dorsal hump and bulbous tip, a combined procedure was performed consisting of lateral osteotomy, tip elevation using autologous rib cartilage, hump rasping, nasal sill reduction, and rhinitis surgery.

Why the nasal bridge sinks and widens after implant removal, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge sinks and widens after implant removal, and how to reconstruct it

Depression and widening of the nasal bridge, along with a crooked nose and bulbous tip that developed after implant removal, were refined through structural nasal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, nasal bridge augmentation with a silicone implant, tip refinement, and correction of the nasolabial angle.

Why a wide nasal bridge and upturned nasal tip develop, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a wide nasal bridge and upturned nasal tip develop, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For a wide nasal bridge and an upturned nasal tip resulting from repeated surgeries and nasal bridge thread-lifting procedures, foreign material was removed, lateral osteotomy was performed, and septal reconstruction was carried out by recycling existing autologous rib cartilage and supplementing with donor rib cartilage.

Why the nasal dorsum appears depressed and the tip looks bulbous after dorsal hump reduction, and how to correct it without implants — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal dorsum appears depressed and the tip looks bulbous after dorsal hump reduction, and how to correct it without implants

To improve a bulbous nasal tip, residual hump sensation, and asymmetry without silicone implants, autologous rib cartilage was used to elevate the nasal bridge and dorsal line, combined with cartilage repositioning, cartilage binding, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why a wide nose often comes with nasal obstruction: Correction using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a wide nose often comes with nasal obstruction: Correction using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage

For a wide nose, bulbous tip, crooked nose, and deviated septum, lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, bridge augmentation, septal and inferior turbinate surgery, and autologous fat grafting were performed.

Why nasal bridge and tip show-through happens after old silicone rhinoplasty: dermal reinforcement and rib cartilage reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal bridge and tip show-through happens after old silicone rhinoplasty: dermal reinforcement and rib cartilage reconstruction

To resolve show-through of an L-shaped silicone implant and cartilage beneath thinned skin, we removed the previous silicone implant, reinforced the skin with dermis, adjusted the tip height, reconstructed the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, and replaced the implant with a new one.

Why the nose turns up, the columella retracts, and the tip looks pinched: how composite correction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose turns up, the columella retracts, and the tip looks pinched: how composite correction is performed

For an upturned nose, retracted columella, pinched tip, and nostril asymmetry following repeated surgeries, columellar reconstruction, pinched tip correction, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed.

Why the nasal tip looks spread out and lacks dimension, and how bulbous nose correction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks spread out and lacks dimension, and how bulbous nose correction is performed

To improve a wide nasal bridge, a blunt nasal tip, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction, partial removal of subcutaneous tissue, lower lateral cartilage repositioning, cartilage suturing, and nasal tip height adjustment were performed in stages.

Why a crooked nose and irregular dorsum occur: implant removal and reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and irregular dorsum occur: implant removal and reconstruction methods

We removed the premaxillary ("cat") implant and irregularly placed ear cartilage from previous surgeries, then refined the crooked nose and radix line using a dermal graft, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.

Why bulbous nose, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction occur together, and how straight bridge line correction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous nose, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction occur together, and how straight bridge line correction is performed

A case where a blunt, wide nasal tip, a columella tilted to the right, and nasal obstruction were refined into a natural straight bridge line through bulbous tip correction, nasolabial angle improvement, and septoplasty.

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time

Following prior surgery for rhinitis and a deviated septum, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms along with nasal deviation and nostril asymmetry, which were improved through autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and mucosal synechia adhesiolysis.

Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition

To correct a severe bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella, we performed anterior repositioning of the septal cartilage, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, partial removal of soft tissue, and repositioning of the lower lateral cartilages.

Medpor and foreign materials left inside the nose: Why they cause problems and how they are removed — Before-and-after comparison

Medpor and foreign materials left inside the nose: Why they cause problems and how they are removed

Although the patient believed she had only undergone alar reduction in the past, Medpor and non-absorbable foreign materials were discovered during surgery and completely removed. The nasal bridge and tip were then reconstructed using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage and lateral osteotomy.

Why old silicone implants cause deformity and pain, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why old silicone implants cause deformity and pain, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For nasal deformity, dorsal pain, and nasal obstruction caused by an old implant, septoplasty and autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction were performed to improve the columella and nostrils.
