Conditions for a nasal bridge that appears as parallel lines and criteria for shaping the nostrils

Customized rhinoplasty was performed to achieve a natural nasal bridge line that is not excessively high and oval-shaped nostrils that harmonize with the face shape.

Why the radix starts too high and the nose looks crooked, and how to correct it with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the radix starts too high and the nose looks crooked, and how to correct it with autologous rib cartilage

Following a previous implant surgery, issues with a high radix, crooked dorsum, and upturned tip were corrected using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why nostrils look different when tilting the head up and cause nasal obstruction: septal reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostrils look different when tilting the head up and cause nasal obstruction: septal reconstruction

To correct nostril asymmetry, a short nose, and nasal obstruction that developed after previous implant-free rhinoplasty and alar rim lowering, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and functional nasal surgery were performed.

Scar tissue and nostril asymmetry after nasal fracture and repeated revision surgeries: reconstructive approaches — Before-and-after comparison

Scar tissue and nostril asymmetry after nasal fracture and repeated revision surgeries: reconstructive approaches

Following trauma and revision surgery, the patient presented with concerns over silicone implant complications, nostril asymmetry, and scar adhesions. After removing the implant, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and septoplasty were performed.

Why nasal asymmetry remains after cleft lip and palate, and reconstruction using rib and ear cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal asymmetry remains after cleft lip and palate, and reconstruction using rib and ear cartilage

For cleft lip- and palate-related asymmetry and alar deformities, septal reconstruction and dorsal augmentation were performed using autologous rib cartilage, along with alar reconstruction using ear cartilage and lateral osteotomy.

Undissolved residual nasal filler and wide alae: causes, removal, and correction methods

Residual unabsorbed HA filler was completely removed, followed by autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, lower lateral cartilage trimming, and septal and inferior turbinate surgery, all performed via a closed approach.

Why the nasal tip spreads wide and the nose appears crooked, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip spreads wide and the nose appears crooked, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For a crooked nose with a wide, bulbous tip and a drooping tip deformity, autologous rib cartilage nasal structural reconstruction was performed alongside nasolabial angle correction and functional rhinitis surgery.

Why infection recurs after rhinoplasty: treatment of inflammation and staged reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why infection recurs after rhinoplasty: treatment of inflammation and staged reconstruction

In a patient presenting with mucosal perforation and contracture deformity caused by implant infection, inflamed tissue was debrided and irrigated, followed by staged septal reconstruction.

Why clicking sounds and shape changes occur in the nasal tip after trauma, and reconstruction with rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why clicking sounds and shape changes occur in the nasal tip after trauma, and reconstruction with rib cartilage

For a patient who experienced nasal tip deformity and asymmetry of the nasal bone and nostrils following everyday trauma, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and lateral osteotomy were performed to establish a stable structure.

How to perform reconstruction when multiple revision surgeries leave no nasal cartilage behind — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to perform reconstruction when multiple revision surgeries leave no nasal cartilage behind

This is a case where the septum was damaged and both lower lateral cartilages were removed following multiple rhinoplasties. The support structure was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, concurrently correcting the upturned nose, deviated columella, and nasolabial angle.

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed

For an overly high "Pinocchio-like" deviated nose with septal damage, the silicone implant was removed, and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, radix adjustment, and nasal sill reduction were performed.

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed

This is a case where the nasal bones, septum, and keystone area were damaged after repeated surgeries, causing nasal obstruction due to nasal valve stenosis. Autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the nasal support structure and nasal valve, while correcting bridge depression and asymmetry.

Why a nose with excessive septal cartilage harvest becomes upturned and blocked, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose with excessive septal cartilage harvest becomes upturned and blocked, and how to reconstruct it

A case where a septum weakened and deviated to the left from a previous surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage. Addressing both nasal obstruction and an upturned nose, the nasal tip was elongated, and the depressed nasal dorsum and nasolabial angle were corrected.

How high can a small, blunt nose be raised? — Skin limitations and reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How high can a small, blunt nose be raised? — Skin limitations and reconstruction methods

A primary rhinoplasty case for a patient with a small, wide nasal tip, drooping, a minor dorsal hump, and chronic nasal obstruction, treated through gradual expansion accounting for skin elasticity, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, and septal correction.

Why cartilage shows through after multiple rhinoplasties and how to restore the mucosa and structure — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why cartilage shows through after multiple rhinoplasties and how to restore the mucosa and structure

A case where autologous rib cartilage was used to reinforce soft tissue, reconstruct nasal structure, and perform functional surgery to improve mucosal thinning, lateral cartilage show-through, and nostril asymmetry resulting from repeated surgeries.

Why the nasal bridge sinks and one side becomes blocked after rhinoplasty osteotomy: Internal nasal valve reconstruction and restoration — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge sinks and one side becomes blocked after rhinoplasty osteotomy: Internal nasal valve reconstruction and restoration

A case where nasal bones, the nasal vault, and the septum were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to resolve collapsed nasal bones, nasal roof collapse, internal nasal valve stenosis, and pain caused by excessive osteotomy in a previous surgery.

Bulbous nasal tip unresolved by previous surgeries: causes and reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison

Bulbous nasal tip unresolved by previous surgeries: causes and reconstruction methods

A case resolving a persistent bulbous tip, excessive nostril show, and residual filler after previous surgeries by removing the filler and reconstructing the septum and alae using autologous rib cartilage.

Why an old silicone implant capsule calcifies and causes a dorsal hump and crooked nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an old silicone implant capsule calcifies and causes a dorsal hump and crooked nose

A case of complete reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage after removing an L-shaped silicone implant and its calcified capsule inserted 30 years ago, which had caused a dorsal hump and a crooked nose.
