Why nasal obstruction persists despite multiple surgeries: Correcting nasal valve stenosis and nostril asymmetry

A case of persistent nostril asymmetry and nasal valve stenosis after multiple surgeries, addressed by removing existing implants, performing septoplasty and turbinoplasty, and reconstructing the structure with rib cartilage and a skin graft.

Why a deviated septum causes both nasal obstruction and a crooked nose, and how reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a deviated septum causes both nasal obstruction and a crooked nose, and how reconstruction is performed

Nasal obstruction, a dorsal hump, and maxillary protrusion caused by a septum severely deviated to the left were addressed simultaneously through septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why nasal obstruction persists after multiple surgeries: How to reconstruct the septum and nasal valve

For a patient whose septum had collapsed after repeated surgeries, causing internal nasal valve stenosis and inferior turbinate adhesions, we performed septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, osteotomy reversal, and adhesiolysis.

Why the nasal bridge looks low and the tip looks bulbous: how to correct them alongside a retracted columella — Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge looks low and the tip looks bulbous: how to correct them alongside a retracted columella

To improve the low, bulbous nasal tip and retracted columella in a patient with no previous surgical history, autologous rib cartilage was used to reinforce the septum, elevate the nasal bridge and nasal tip, and correct the nasolabial angle.

Why the nose looks long due to a drooping tip after rhinoplasty, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks long due to a drooping tip after rhinoplasty, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage

A case addressing a drooping, elongated nasal tip after silicone rhinoplasty and nasal filler procedures. The existing implant and residual filler were removed, the support structure was reinforced using autologous rib cartilage, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.

Why a dorsal hump and a crooked nose often occur together, and correction methods using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a dorsal hump and a crooked nose often occur together, and correction methods using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage

For a male primary rhinoplasty patient with a bulbous, crooked nose with a dorsal hump, lateral osteotomy, cartilage tying, nasal tip plasty with autologous rib cartilage, and a customized silicone implant were performed.

Why silicone implants deviate and make the nose look long: implant replacement and rib cartilage reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why silicone implants deviate and make the nose look long: implant replacement and rib cartilage reconstruction

Silicone implant deviation, excessive nostril show, and a high radix were corrected by removing the previous implant, reconstructing the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, placing a customized implant, and adjusting the nasolabial angle.

Why the nostrils look severely uneven on both sides: cartilage reconstruction and skin graft correction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nostrils look severely uneven on both sides: cartilage reconstruction and skin graft correction

Congenital asymmetry, along with a residual crooked nose and nostril asymmetry from a previous rhinoplasty, was stabilized using lower lateral cartilage reconstruction, internal nostril skin grafting (free composite graft), and septal reconstruction.

Why nasal obstruction worsens after rhinoplasty: How septal reconstruction and osteotomy reversal are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal obstruction worsens after rhinoplasty: How septal reconstruction and osteotomy reversal are performed

Nostril asymmetry, over-osteotomy, and a collapsed septum resulting from prior alar reduction were corrected using a skin graft, osteotomy reversal, septal reinforcement with autologous rib cartilage, and rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose appears low and how to build height using autologous rib cartilage

For a male patient who had received repeated filler injections for a low nasal bridge, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage and the insertion of a customized silicone implant.

Why the nasal bridge looks wide and uneven, and how osteotomy and rib cartilage tip surgery are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge looks wide and uneven, and how osteotomy and rib cartilage tip surgery are performed

Foreign material was removed from the nasal bridge, and lateral osteotomy, a custom-carved silicone implant, and donor rib cartilage were used to eliminate the dorsal step-off, creating a slim, straight bridge line.

Why internal nasal structures collapse after multiple rhinoplasties and total reconstruction with rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why internal nasal structures collapse after multiple rhinoplasties and total reconstruction with rib cartilage

Following four prior rhinoplasties, septal and lower lateral cartilage defects and nasal bone erosion were addressed by treating a chronic foreign body reaction, performing total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, and placing a nostril skin graft.

Why the nasal bridge looks wide and the tip looks bulbous: how osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage correction work — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge looks wide and the tip looks bulbous: how osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage correction work

A case of minimally correcting a deviated, small, and thin septum, then refining a wide nasal bridge and bulbous tip using lateral osteotomy, a custom-carved silicone implant, and autologous rib cartilage tip plasty.

Why nasal obstruction worsens when the septum collapses to one side — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal obstruction worsens when the septum collapses to one side

For a male patient presenting with a collapsed septum, severe nasal obstruction, and a drooping tip, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, septal extension, and rhinitis surgery were performed.

Noses with an arrow nose and bulbous tip: why we start with septal reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison

Noses with an arrow nose and bulbous tip: why we start with septal reconstruction

A clinical case in which a septum damaged from two previous surgeries and chronic nasal obstruction were restored using autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, septoplasty, rhinitis surgery, and bulbous tip correction.

Why does the nose look crooked when the osteotomy site is over-resected? Nasal bone restoration and nasal tip reconstruction

For a patient who developed an over-resected area and a crooked nose following a past osteotomy, we performed left nasal bone restoration, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, a customized silicone implant, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why the septum deviates severely and becomes damaged, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the septum deviates severely and becomes damaged, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

A severely deviated and damaged septum following previous surgery with a silicone implant and donor rib cartilage was reinforced and reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, completing the nasal line through septal extension and nasolabial angle correction.

Contracted nose: How contracted tissue removal and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Contracted nose: How contracted tissue removal and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction are performed

In a nose that became upturned and crooked due to contracture following implant surgery, fibrotic tissue was removed, the nasal tip was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, the columella was lowered, and the silicone implant was replaced.
