Why the nose flattens and widens after double-jaw surgery, and septal reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose flattens and widens after double-jaw surgery, and septal reconstruction

After double-jaw surgery weakened the septum, the nose became lower and wider; we reinforced it through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and completed a smooth profile using a customized silicone implant.

Why nasal tip support weakens in an aged implant nose and septal extension reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal tip support weakens in an aged implant nose and septal extension reconstruction methods

To reinforce nasal tip support weakened after a previous silicone and ear cartilage surgery, the silicone implant was customized and replaced, and a stable nasal line was established using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage.

Why one nostril shows more from the front and how to reconstruct the nasal tip — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why one nostril shows more from the front and how to reconstruct the nasal tip

To correct nasal tip deformity and asymmetrical nostril show, the nasal tip was supported with donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, accompanied by right alar rim lowering and a customized silicone implant placement.

What sets the limit when you want a higher nasal bridge: 3D custom implant and autologous rib cartilage tip support — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

What sets the limit when you want a higher nasal bridge: 3D custom implant and autologous rib cartilage tip support

To improve the nasal bridge and glabella height in balance with prominent brow bones, the existing implant was removed, and a 3D custom implant, autologous rib cartilage tip support, and nasolabial angle correction were performed.

Why Medpor causes loss of the anterior septum: removal and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor causes loss of the anterior septum: removal and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

In a nose where the anterior septum was severely damaged by Medpor, foreign materials were removed, and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, nasal sill reduction, and functional nasal surgery were performed.

Why we look at the facial axis first when correcting a nose with facial asymmetry — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why we look at the facial axis first when correcting a nose with facial asymmetry

A crooked nose, influenced by facial asymmetry, a history of orbital fracture, and facial contouring surgery, was corrected to align with the central facial axis, along with clearing existing filler and refining a drooping tip and the nasolabial angle.

How permanent filler alters the shape of the nose and reconstruction methods after removal — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How permanent filler alters the shape of the nose and reconstruction methods after removal

After permanent filler injections left the nose crooked and bulbous, the filler was removed, and a refined line was created using autologous rib cartilage for nasal tip support, lateral osteotomy, and a customized silicone implant.

Why a bulbous nose looks blunt and wide, and how to create tip definition — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a bulbous nose looks blunt and wide, and how to create tip definition

For a blunt, wide bulbous nose and drooping tip following nasal filler injections, we performed filler removal, created a tip support structure using autologous rib cartilage, reinforced the septum, and thinned the skin.

Why the columella looks long and how to reposition the nasal tip cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the columella looks long and how to reposition the nasal tip cartilage

Following prior surgery with a silicone implant and ear cartilage, the patient presented with a long, drooping columella and a crooked nose. The ear cartilage was replaced with autologous rib cartilage, the nasolabial angle was adjusted, and septal correction was performed.

Why an upturned nose and unilaterally pinched nostril occur, and how implant-free reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an upturned nose and unilaterally pinched nostril occur, and how implant-free reconstruction is performed

An upturned nose and pinched nostril caused by multiple prior surgeries were corrected after removing artificial dermis, performing implant-free bridge augmentation with donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and using a skin-cartilage composite graft on the right nostril.

How to correct a small, drooping nose accompanied by nasal obstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to correct a small, drooping nose accompanied by nasal obstruction

To improve a small, drooping nose along with nasal obstruction from a deviated septum and rhinitis, autologous rib cartilage was used to firmly elevate the nasal tip, adjust the nasolabial angle, and correct the septum and inferior turbinates at the same time.

Why a septum collapsing to one side causes a crooked nose and blocked breathing, and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a septum collapsing to one side causes a crooked nose and blocked breathing, and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage

After two prior surgeries, a septum collapsed to the right, a depressed alar wing, and a mucosal defect were corrected through autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, perichondrium grafting, and re-carving of the silicone implant.

Why a crooked dorsal hump and drooping tip occur, and how septal extension is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked dorsal hump and drooping tip occur, and how septal extension is performed

A crooked dorsal hump, drooping tip, and nasal obstruction were refined using lateral osteotomy, septal extension with donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, nasal tip volume refinement with ear cartilage, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and how dermis grafting reinforces it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and how dermis grafting reinforces it

For a nose showing cartilage show-through through thinned skin, a widened nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction 7 years after surgery, autologous dermis reinforcement, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, lateral osteotomy, and septoplasty were performed.

Why the nasal tip appears upturned and the columella looks short after rhinoplasty: methods for lowering the columella and correcting the bridge line — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip appears upturned and the columella looks short after rhinoplasty: methods for lowering the columella and correcting the bridge line

An upturned nasal tip, a short columella, and an unnatural silicone bridge line from previous rhinoplasty were improved using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, custom-carved silicone implant replacement, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why nasal obstruction and a crooked nose can persist even after multiple surgeries — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal obstruction and a crooked nose can persist even after multiple surgeries

In a case of ongoing nasal obstruction with a weakened, deviated septum following multiple surgeries, structural integrity and nasal breathing were improved through septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, septoplasty, and turbinoplasty.

What problems arise with a septal perforation, and how is it reconstructed? — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

What problems arise with a septal perforation, and how is it reconstructed?

In a case where a 15×10 mm septal perforation and cartilage damage occurred after previous surgery, the perforation was closed with a skin graft and structural support was restored by reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage.

Changes caused by semi-permanent bridge filler and septal reconstruction after removal — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Changes caused by semi-permanent bridge filler and septal reconstruction after removal

For Artecoll semi-permanent filler on the nasal bridge, a damaged septum, an upturned nasal tip, and nostril asymmetry, foreign material was completely removed, followed by septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and alar rim lowering.
