Why nasal bone deviation and dorsal humps remain after rhinoplasty: lateral osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage correction methods

To correct the residual deviated nasal bone, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction remaining after a previous silicone rhinoplasty, the existing implant was removed and lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, and septoplasty were performed.

Why a nose looks low and wide: surgical technique starting from the nasal tip structure

To improve an inherently low and wide nose along with rhinitis symptoms, primary rhinoplasty was performed using donor rib cartilage for tip support, a customized silicone implant for the bridge, and septoplasty.

Why nasal filler cannot correct a drooping tip and dorsal hump, and the reconstruction method after removal

To resolve a persistent drooping tip and dorsal hump deformity after filler and PDO thread lifting, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, a silicone implant on the nasal bridge, and septoplasty.

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.

Preoperative condition

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.

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.

Preoperative condition

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
