Why the nasal tip looks spread out and how to address the nasal sill and nasolabial angle together — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks spread out and how to address the nasal sill and nasolabial angle together

For a wide nasal tip and nasal sill, residual filler, and a deviated septum, we removed the filler and performed donor rib cartilage tip correction, nasal sill reduction, nasolabial angle correction, septoplasty, and rhinitis surgery.

Bulbous, drooping nasal tip and an obtuse nasolabial angle: causes and correction methods

For a drooping, bulbous nasal tip, asymmetric nasal bridge, deviated septum, and rhinitis symptoms, we performed nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle adjustment, silicone implant replacement, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate reduction.

Why a wide tip often comes with nasal obstruction, and how foreign material removal and reconstruction are performed

For nasal obstruction caused by nasal bridge filler, a bulbous nose, a deviated septum, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty, and turbinoplasty.

A nose with almost no septal cartilage left: why the nasal tip cannot be elevated

A case where the septal support was largely lost from previous surgeries, resulting in nostril asymmetry. The central support was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal tip was elevated with dermis and cartilage grafts.

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.

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.

Preoperative condition

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.

Preoperative condition

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.

Preoperative condition

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.

Preoperative condition

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.

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.

Preoperative condition

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

Changes that occur when supporting the nasal tip with ear cartilage alone and reconstruction methods using rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison

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.

Preoperative condition

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 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.

Preoperative condition

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella

For a drooping tip and retracted columella caused by septal cartilage damage following previous surgery with autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, the columella was restored, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.

Changes following nasal bridge skin necrosis after rhinoplasty and how reconstruction is performed

In a case with signs of nasal bridge skin necrosis and alar asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties, the nasal bridge and nostril shape were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage grafting, alar repositioning, and growth factor application.

Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous noses are difficult to correct and the reconstruction method after foreign material removal

For a bulbous nose and drooping tip blunted by past nasal filler and thread-lifting procedures, the foreign material was removed, and the nasal line was refined using septal cartilage, donor rib cartilage, and a silicone implant.
