Why Medpor extrudes through the nasal mucosa, and how removal and reconstruction are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor extrudes through the nasal mucosa, and how removal and reconstruction are performed

The extruded Medpor and damaged tissue protruding into the nasal cavity were removed, and the septum along with the missing lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to treat asymmetry and inflammation.

Why the nasal bridge lowers and widens as artificial dermis is absorbed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge lowers and widens as artificial dermis is absorbed

After identifying a lowered, widened nasal bridge and septal damage caused by artificial dermis absorption, I removed the residual dermis and reconstructed the septum with donor rib cartilage to restore bridge height.

Why the nose looks crooked after dorsal hump surgery, and how septal reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks crooked after dorsal hump surgery, and how septal reconstruction is performed

A crooked nose and deviated septum that developed after dorsal hump correction were improved by removing the existing donor rib cartilage, reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, and performing submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate.

Why the nasal bridge looks red after revision rhinoplasty and methods for reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge looks red after revision rhinoplasty and methods for reconstruction

Redness of the nasal bridge and a long nose that developed after two prior surgeries using autologous and donor rib cartilage were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, implant replacement, and nasal base correction.

Why nasal obstruction returns after rhinitis surgery and how structural correction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal obstruction returns after rhinitis surgery and how structural correction is performed

With a history of nasal filler injection and rhinitis surgery, a widened and crooked nasal bridge and nasal obstruction were improved through septoplasty, inferior turbinectomy, and nasolabial angle adjustment.

Why nostrils become visible and nasal bridge volume is lost after multiple surgeries — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostrils become visible and nasal bridge volume is lost after multiple surgeries

A case of nasal reconstruction using recycled autologous rib cartilage combined with donor rib cartilage and skin grafts to correct an upturned nasal deformity and asymmetry caused by repeated surgeries.

Nostril stenosis narrowing the nostrils after previous surgery: causes and reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Nostril stenosis narrowing the nostrils after previous surgery: causes and reconstruction methods

A case of nostril stenosis and an upturned nose following previous surgeries, reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage instead of a silicone implant, along with skin grafting and lower lateral cartilage reconstruction.

Why contracture and nasal obstruction develop together after multiple rhinoplasties, and how reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why contracture and nasal obstruction develop together after multiple rhinoplasties, and how reconstruction is performed

A case involving a patient who experienced septal cartilage damage, an upturned nasal tip, and severe nasal obstruction after 8 surgeries over 15 years, where the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and reinforced with dermis.

Why the nose widens and becomes blocked after double-jaw surgery, and how to address both function and form — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose widens and becomes blocked after double-jaw surgery, and how to address both function and form

A case in which intranasal mucosal adhesions, nasal obstruction, and a widened nasal deformity following double-jaw surgery were corrected using synechia adhesiolysis, donor rib cartilage, and septal cartilage.

Why nasal threads and fat grafting fail to create a defined line: foreign body removal and rib cartilage reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal threads and fat grafting fail to create a defined line: foreign body removal and rib cartilage reconstruction

A case where foreign material was removed after dissatisfaction with thread lifting and fat grafting alongside a deviated septum, creating a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage and relieving nasal obstruction.

Why dorsal humps and crooked noses often cause nasal obstruction, and how to address them with combined correction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why dorsal humps and crooked noses often cause nasal obstruction, and how to address them with combined correction

A case combining a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and hypertrophic rhinitis addressed with osteotomy, hump reduction, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

Why grafted dermis repeatedly absorbs, and how to reconstruct the nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why grafted dermis repeatedly absorbs, and how to reconstruct the nose

A case in which nasal deformity and septal damage caused by repeated dermal grafting and absorption were corrected through structural reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and recycling of existing dermis.

Why a dorsal hump and a long nose often accompany nasal obstruction, and how they are corrected — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a dorsal hump and a long nose often accompany nasal obstruction, and how they are corrected

A case involving a history of nose thread lifting, a dorsal hump, a long nose, and rhinitis symptoms, corrected with osteotomy, hump rasping, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate resection.

Why a thick columella and upturned nasal tip develop, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a thick columella and upturned nasal tip develop, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

A case of an upturned nose with septal damage and contracture deformity from repeated surgeries, where the septum and lower lateral cartilages were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage along with columellar width correction.

Aged nasal implants and nasal pain: key points to evaluate in revision rhinoplasty — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Aged nasal implants and nasal pain: key points to evaluate in revision rhinoplasty

A case in an older patient with a 50-year history of repeated surgeries, nasal pain, and a crooked nose deformity, where the previous cartilage causing the pain was removed and the nose was reconstructed using donor rib cartilage.

Revision rhinoplasty approach addressing both a drooping tip and nasal obstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty approach addressing both a drooping tip and nasal obstruction

For a drooping tip, dorsal depression, and nasal obstruction that developed after multiple surgeries, septal extension using donor rib cartilage, dermal grafting for the depressed area, and septoplasty were performed.

Structure and correction methods for a short and upturned nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Structure and correction methods for a short and upturned nose

This case involved a small, upturned nasal tip, excessive nostril show, and rhinitis. Using partially calcified autologous rib cartilage, we performed septal extension, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates, and nasolabial angle correction.

Planning implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage in patients with allergic tendencies — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Planning implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage in patients with allergic tendencies

This is a revision rhinoplasty case where autologous rib cartilage was chosen instead of a silicone implant due to the patient's allergic constitution and concerns about inflammation. Drooping tip and a crooked nose were corrected through septal extension, bridge augmentation, and cartilage repositioning.
