Why the nasal bridge becomes uneven after rhinoplasty, and how septal reconstruction using rib cartilage is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge becomes uneven after rhinoplasty, and how septal reconstruction using rib cartilage is performed

An uneven nasal bridge, damaged septal cartilage, and nasal obstruction were corrected by removing the existing silicone implant and filler, followed by autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, re-insertion of a customized silicone implant, and septoplasty with inferior turbinoplasty.

Why dorsal hump, long nose, and drooping tip appear together and how to correct them

A protruding dorsal hump, drooping long nose, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction were addressed together using autologous rib cartilage tip support, lateral osteotomy, septoplasty for a deviated septum, and inferior turbinate surgery.

Why a nose operated on multiple times continues to appear upturned, and how septal reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose operated on multiple times continues to appear upturned, and how septal reconstruction is performed

Following previous surgeries and double-jaw surgery, an upturned nasal tip and nostril asymmetry were precisely corrected using donor rib cartilage septal reconstruction, lower lateral cartilage restoration, and a composite dermis-fat graft to the soft triangle.

Why nasal tip skin thins after multiple surgeries: autologous dermis reinforcement and reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal tip skin thins after multiple surgeries: autologous dermis reinforcement and reconstruction methods

We removed previous foreign materials and implants, reconstructed the nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage, reinforced the thinned skin with autologous dermis, recarved a silicone implant, and performed fat grafting between the eyebrows.

Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous tip returns after tip surgery with ear cartilage and reconstruction methods

Persistent bulbous tip and upturned nasal tip after surgery with ear cartilage were addressed with autologous rib cartilage septal extension, partial scar tissue excision, cartilage repositioning, and a silicone implant.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose appears long, drooping, and crooked: septal reconstruction and osteotomy

A long nose, drooping nasal tip, crooked nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction remaining after prior functional surgery were corrected using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, partial septal reconstruction, and lateral osteotomy.

Why a crooked nose and dorsal hump appear together, and how to approach male rhinoplasty — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and dorsal hump appear together, and how to approach male rhinoplasty

In a male patient in his early 20s presenting with a crooked nose, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, osteotomy, tip rhinoplasty using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and columellar correction were performed.

Why dorsal humps and drooping tips appear together, and how hump reduction and osteotomy are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why dorsal humps and drooping tips appear together, and how hump reduction and osteotomy are performed

A dorsal hump and drooping tip were smoothly refined through a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, hump reduction, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nasal obstruction occurs after multiple rhinoplasties: Autologous rib cartilage reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nasal obstruction occurs after multiple rhinoplasties: Autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

To resolve a damaged septum, an upturned nasal tip, and rhinitis-related nasal obstruction after multiple surgeries, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and inferior turbinate reduction were performed.

Why small lower lateral cartilages cause a drooping tip: rib cartilage reinforcement and osteotomy methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why small lower lateral cartilages cause a drooping tip: rib cartilage reinforcement and osteotomy methods

A drooping nasal tip and crooked dorsal hump caused by small lower lateral cartilages were refined through autologous rib cartilage support reinforcement, lateral osteotomy, a silicone implant, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why the nasal tip looks bulbous and spread out, and how septal extension is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks bulbous and spread out, and how septal extension is performed

A bulbous, spread-out nasal tip and deviated septum were refined with autologous rib cartilage septal extension, nasolabial angle correction, a silicone implant on the nasal dorsum, and functional nasal surgery.

Why the nasal tip turns upward when the septum is lost, and how to reconstruct the septum with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip turns upward when the septum is lost, and how to reconstruct the septum with autologous rib cartilage

Septal support lost in previous surgeries was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and pinched alae and depressed nasal bridge areas were reinforced to correct an upturned nasal tip and nostril show.

Why a high radix makes the nose look artificial: septal reconstruction and radix correction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a high radix makes the nose look artificial: septal reconstruction and radix correction methods

A deviated septum and an excessively high radix resulting from a previous surgery were precisely corrected using donor rib cartilage septal reconstruction, silicone implant replacement, osteotomy, and inferior turbinate reduction.

Why the nasal bridge deviates and the tip appears drooping: How to correct it using only cartilage without implants — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge deviates and the tip appears drooping: How to correct it using only cartilage without implants

For a patient who wanted primary rhinoplasty without artificial implants, lateral osteotomy was performed to straighten the deviated nasal bones, and donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage were used to reinforce the bridge and reshape the nasal tip.

Why the columella retracts and the alar rim looks pinched after rhinoplasty, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the columella retracts and the alar rim looks pinched after rhinoplasty, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

In a patient presenting with columellar retraction and a pinched right alar rim following rhinoplasty with silicone and donor rib cartilage, the existing materials were removed and reconstruction of the septum and alar cartilage was performed using autologous rib cartilage.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal bone deviation and dorsal humps remain after rhinoplasty: lateral osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage correction methods

To correct the residual deviated nasal bone, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction remaining after a previous silicone rhinoplasty, the existing implant was removed and lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, and septoplasty were performed.

Why a nose looks low and wide: surgical technique starting from the nasal tip structure

To improve an inherently low and wide nose along with rhinitis symptoms, primary rhinoplasty was performed using donor rib cartilage for tip support, a customized silicone implant for the bridge, and septoplasty.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal filler cannot correct a drooping tip and dorsal hump, and the reconstruction method after removal

To resolve a persistent drooping tip and dorsal hump deformity after filler and PDO thread lifting, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, a silicone implant on the nasal bridge, and septoplasty.
