How to improve a bulbous nose and a protruding mouth

This is a case of a patient with a history of two-jaw surgery, a bulbous nasal tip, a wide nasal sill (nostril floor), and asymmetry. Considering the possibility of detachment of the septal base, reconstruction was planned, and changes in the nasal tip, nasolabial angle, and nasal sill were documented.

Will correcting a crooked nose improve facial asymmetry?

This case presented facial asymmetry accompanied by a nose deviated to the right, a bulbous nasal tip, and a dorsal hump. Osteotomy and septal repositioning were planned, and notes taken immediately after surgery record changes in the deviation and the drooping tip.

How to correct a drooping tip, dorsal hump, and crooked nose with autologous rib cartilage

This is a case of a patient concerned about a dorsal hump, a drooping tip, and a crooked nasal bridge. Considering the patient's existing bridge height and thick skin, the plan was adjusted during surgery to shape the nasal bridge by filling in the deficient areas with autologous rib cartilage.

Correction of an uneven, crooked, and upturned nose using autologous rib cartilage

This is a case of a patient concerned about an uneven, wide, crooked nose, prominent nostril show from the front, and a wide nasal floor. Here, I introduce the surgical plan involving lateral osteotomy, tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage, and nasal floor reduction, along with photos taken immediately after surgery.

Revision rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage and columella correction for a long nose and dorsal hump

This is a case of a patient concerned about a nose that still looked long due to a residual dorsal hump and a drooping tip even after a previous surgery. The nasal bone and upper lateral cartilage were refined, the nasal tip and columella were corrected, and a thin silicone implant was placed to cover irregularities.

Correction of a bulbous nose, wide nasal spread, and drooping tip using autologous rib cartilage

This is a case of a bulbous nose with thick skin, a widely spread nasal tip, and a drooping appearance. Subcutaneous soft tissue reduction, cartilage repositioning, and a nasal bridge implant were planned, and during the actual surgery, correction of the nasolabial angle improved the bulbous impression.

Revision rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage for an upturned nose, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry

This is a case where excessive septal cartilage harvest led to a deviated septum, nasal obstruction, and an upturned, crooked tip, which were corrected by reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, removing scar tissue, and repositioning the lower lateral cartilages.

Nasal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage for an upturned and crooked (deviated) nose due to contracture

This is a case where postoperative inflammation led to a depressed and upturned nasal tip along with severe nostril asymmetry. I introduce the reconstruction plan using autologous rib cartilage according to the extent of cartilage damage, along with comparison photos taken immediately after surgery.

Revision rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage for bulbous tip, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry

This is a case of a bulbous nose with thick skin, scar tissue in the nasal tip, and an implant deviated to the right. Removal of scar tissue, reconstruction and repositioning of the lower lateral (alar) cartilage, and nasal tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage were performed, with lateral osteotomy planned.

Revision rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage for a bulbous and drooping nose, along with columellar and nostril correction

A case of a patient who visited our clinic with a bulbous, drooping tip and nostril asymmetry. During surgery, severe damage to the septum and lower lateral cartilages was identified, leading to reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, while alar rim lowering and lateral osteotomy were included in the surgical plan.

Foreign body removal and autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty for chronic foreign body reaction and a long nose

This is a case where a silicone implant shifted almost to the point of extruding through the columella due to a chronic foreign body reaction. The silicone implant, granulation tissue, and glabella filler were removed, and the depleted septum from previous surgery was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.

Revision rhinoplasty methods using autologous rib cartilage without implants for a crooked and wide nose

This is a case of addressing nostril asymmetry and a crooked nasal bridge following past alar reduction. Repositioning of the columella and lower lateral cartilages was performed, alongside planned lateral osteotomy, the use of autologous rib cartilage, and functional nasal surgery for nasal obstruction.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for a long nose, cartilage show-through, and nostril asymmetry

This is a case where the nose appeared long and deviated after a previous surgery, accompanied by cartilage show-through and nostril asymmetry. After confirming septal deviation, septoplasty was performed to correct the deviated septum and improve the asymmetry.

Autologous rib cartilage revision rhinoplasty and nostril correction for an upturned and crooked nose

A case involving nostril asymmetry and excessive nostril show after previous implant removal due to inflammation. Depending on the cartilage condition, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and nostril rim extension were planned, documented with photos taken immediately after surgery.

Surgical methods for correcting a crooked nose and dorsal hump

This is a case of a patient who visited due to nasal obstruction and a crooked nose, in whom leftward septal deviation and a narrowed nasal cavity were identified. Lateral osteotomy was used to correct the crooked nasal bones, and septal and inferior turbinate surgery was planned to address the nasal obstruction.
