Why the nasal tip droops and spreads when smiling after rhinoplasty: foreign material removal and tip correction methods

A case of nasal tip drooping, a pinched look, and tip spreading after nasal filler injection and silicone rhinoplasty 7 years ago. Foreign materials and the silicone implant were removed, and the nasolabial angle was corrected while reinforcing tip support.

Before-and-after comparison

Why short, upturned noses and crooked noses occur together, and how to correct them with septal extension

A short, upturned, crooked nose following an L-shaped silicone implant was lowered using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, and the airway was improved through nasal valve reconstruction and septal correction.

Foreign materials from illegal procedures in the nasal bridge: how to perform removal and total septal reconstruction

We removed foreign materials from illegal injections in the nasal bridge, completely reconstructed the cartilage-depleted septum using autologous rib cartilage, and performed dermal grafting on the thinned skin.

Why a depressed nasal bone on one side makes the nose look crooked: Osteotomy reconstruction and septal reconstruction

A crooked nose and facial asymmetry caused by a depressed right nasal bone and deviated septum were corrected using osteotomy along with septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage.

Why an L-shaped silicone implant can nearly perforate the columellar mucosa: removal and reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison

Why an L-shaped silicone implant can nearly perforate the columellar mucosa: removal and reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage

We removed an L-shaped silicone implant that was at imminent risk of perforating the left columellar mucosa, then reconstructed the contracted nose using autologous rib cartilage for septal extension and autologous dermis for tip reinforcement.

Why the nose looks long and the columella deviates: how septal extension and reconstruction are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks long and the columella deviates: how septal extension and reconstruction are performed

To improve an elongated-looking nose, nostril asymmetry, and a deviated columella, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septal reconstruction, and alar base width correction together.

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nostril show increases years after rhinoplasty: Medpor removal and autologous dermis reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nostril show increases years after rhinoplasty: Medpor removal and autologous dermis reconstruction

To resolve an upturned nose and nostril asymmetry resulting from surgery performed 13 years ago, adhered Medpor was carefully dissected and removed, and the septum was reconstructed using autologous dermis.

Short and upturned nose with insufficient septal cartilage: how to lengthen it with rib cartilage reinforcement — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Short and upturned nose with insufficient septal cartilage: how to lengthen it with rib cartilage reinforcement

A short, upturned nose caused by septal cartilage deficiency from a previous surgery was corrected with septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, combined with chin filler removal and receding chin correction.

Why Medpor in the nose causes nasal obstruction, and how Medpor removal and septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor in the nose causes nasal obstruction, and how Medpor removal and septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage are performed

A septum weakened by Medpor inserted 10 years ago was completely removed and reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, performed concurrently with septoplasty and inferior turbinate surgery.

Why the septum collapses after multiple revision rhinoplasties, and how total reconstruction is performed with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the septum collapses after multiple revision rhinoplasties, and how total reconstruction is performed with autologous rib cartilage

Cartilage penetrating the mucosa and a septal perforation after multiple surgeries were corrected through total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and repair of the perforation using ear perichondrium.

Why a crooked nose and nasal obstruction persist after surgery, and how revision is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and nasal obstruction persist after surgery, and how revision is performed

Residual crooked nose and rhinitis-induced nasal obstruction following previous surgery were corrected through partial septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, lateral osteotomy, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

Depression along the nasal bridge and an upturned feel after repeated implant insertions and removals — Before-and-after comparison

Depression along the nasal bridge and an upturned feel after repeated implant insertions and removals

Correcting nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an overly high radix caused by repeated surgeries using autologous rib cartilage septal extension and height adjustment.

Why the L-strut thins after multiple nose surgeries and how to structurally reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the L-strut thins after multiple nose surgeries and how to structurally reconstruct it

The septal L-strut, thinned after three previous surgeries, was reinforced with autologous rib cartilage, and the crooked nose was reconstructed through lateral osteotomies and columellar lengthening.

Why the glabella widens and the nasal tip upturns after repeated filler and thread treatments — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the glabella widens and the nasal tip upturns after repeated filler and thread treatments

Foreign materials that had widened the glabella along with the previous implant were removed, and the upturned nose was corrected through partial septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle adjustment.

How tip structure and nostril show are addressed in primary rhinoplasty — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How tip structure and nostril show are addressed in primary rhinoplasty

To achieve a natural nasal contour and reduce nostril show, dorsal augmentation with a silicone implant, tip correction using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and adjustment of the nasolabial angle were performed.

How to balance the nasal bridge and tip when a dorsal hump and drooping tip coexist — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to balance the nasal bridge and tip when a dorsal hump and drooping tip coexist

A dorsal hump, drooping tip, and rhinitis-related nasal obstruction were addressed by resecting the hump, combining autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, and performing nasolabial angle and septal correction.

Why inflammation recurs after rhinoplasty and how to reconstruct using only autologous tissue — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why inflammation recurs after rhinoplasty and how to reconstruct using only autologous tissue

Persistent tip inflammation, deviation, and nasal symptoms following repeated surgeries were resolved by removing previous foreign materials and performing septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage alongside functional nasal surgery.

Why the nose looks wide and the tip droops after double jaw surgery, and how to reconstruct it with rib cartilage

After double jaw surgery and rhinoplasty, a wide-looking nose and drooping tip were improved by removing the previous materials, reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, and performing nasal sill reduction.
