Why the nose looks deviated to one side and feels blocked at night: septal reconstruction and nasal obstruction relief

A case of autologous rib cartilage reconstruction combined with septal and inferior turbinate surgery to address a left-deviated nose, long nose, bulbous tip, severe facial asymmetry, and nasal obstruction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose keeps deviating after multiple surgeries and methods for septal cartilage reconstruction

To resolve persistent septal damage, nasal deviation, and nostril asymmetry following repeated surgeries, the central support pillar was entirely reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.

Why a low nasal bridge and bulbous tip persist after multiple surgeries: rib cartilage reconstruction and facial balance — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a low nasal bridge and bulbous tip persist after multiple surgeries: rib cartilage reconstruction and facial balance

A case where a previously placed dermal graft was removed, followed by autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, paranasal augmentation, and chin implant surgery to address a persistent low nasal bridge, bulbous tip, and protruding mouth.

Why the nasal tip shows through after dermal graft surgery and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip shows through after dermal graft surgery and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage

A case where donor dermis previously placed on the nasal dorsum caused tip show-through and made the midface appear elongated; all donor dermis was completely removed, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction was performed, and stem cell therapy was combined.

An uneven nasal bridge after a dermal graft: causes and implant-free reconstruction

A case where a previously placed dermal graft had caused an uneven nasal bridge, alongside an unresolved bulbous nose and nostril asymmetry, which were corrected by completely removing the existing dermis and performing a comprehensive reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage.

Why a mass obstructing the nostril develops, and how to perform resection and reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a mass obstructing the nostril develops, and how to perform resection and reconstruction

This is a case where a chronic inflammatory mass that developed after repeated surgeries and obstructed the nostril was precisely resected, restoring breathing function and stabilizing the nasal tip structure.

Slight lack of height and subtle asymmetry remaining after rhinoplasty: Why they occur and how they are refined

After a stable primary surgery, reinforcement using autologous rib cartilage, septal reconstruction, and nasolabial angle correction were performed to add height and correct subtle bilateral asymmetry.

Septal perforation and nasal tip cartilage show-through after repeated rhinoplasties: how reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Septal perforation and nasal tip cartilage show-through after repeated rhinoplasties: how reconstruction is performed

A case where autologous rib cartilage was used for full septal reconstruction alongside dermis grafting to address repeated surgical history, septal perforation, and thinned nasal tip skin.

Changes that occur when supporting the nasal tip with ear cartilage alone and reconstruction methods using rib cartilage

To resolve persistent nasal obstruction, a crooked nose, and a retracted columella following a prior surgery, complete reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and septoplasty were performed.

Changes that occur when inflammation persists after rhinoplasty and reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Changes that occur when inflammation persists after rhinoplasty and reconstruction methods

To resolve chronic inflammation, an upturned nose, and redness of the nasal bridge that persisted after previous surgeries, artificial materials were removed, and structural reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed along with nasal valve surgery.

Why a custom-fit implant is used for a nose with facial asymmetry, and methods for dorsal hump correction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a custom-fit implant is used for a nose with facial asymmetry, and methods for dorsal hump correction

Considering congenital facial asymmetry and prominent brow bones, the dorsal hump was corrected with a 3D-printed custom implant, combined with nasal tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage and rhinitis surgery to achieve improvement.

Causes of nasal tip show-through and correction methods to lower the tip defining point — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Causes of nasal tip show-through and correction methods to lower the tip defining point

To correct persistent nasal tip show-through and an upturned nose that remained even after an ear dermis graft, past filler residue was completely removed, the tip defining point was naturally lowered, and nasal tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage was performed.

Why a crooked nose and a drooping tip occur together: How septal reconstruction and rhinitis surgery are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and a drooping tip occur together: How septal reconstruction and rhinitis surgery are performed

Following previous rhinoplasty, poor septal support led to a crooked nose, a drooping tip, and excessive nostril show. These concerns were addressed through septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and tip support correction.

Why foreign material from illicit injections remains after removal and how to correct an upturned nasal tip — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why foreign material from illicit injections remains after removal and how to correct an upturned nasal tip

Due to residual foreign material from past illicit injections, an upturned nose and excessive nostril show persisted; the remaining foreign material was completely removed, and tip rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage was performed alongside radix adjustment.

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it

We removed an old paranasal implant that had migrated into the nasal cavity and obstructed breathing, and completely reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, improving both breathing function and nasal appearance.

Problems caused by excessive harvest of septal cartilage and methods for reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Problems caused by excessive harvest of septal cartilage and methods for reconstruction

In a patient whose septal cartilage had been excessively harvested during previous surgeries, leading to a shortened nasal tip and nostril asymmetry, the septum was solidly reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to restore nasal length.

Why an arrow nose appears only when smiling and how to correct tip cartilage

To improve a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and drooping arrow nose when smiling, autologous rib cartilage was used to reposition the nasal tip, combined with lateral osteotomy, septoplasty, and rhinitis surgery.

Why donor dermis absorbs after multiple revision surgeries and how to reconstruct the septum — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why donor dermis absorbs after multiple revision surgeries and how to reconstruct the septum

For a patient who experienced partial absorption of donor dermis on the nasal bridge and septal damage after multiple revision surgeries, the donor dermis was removed, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the skin was reinforced with retroauricular dermis.
