Why the nose looks crooked after dorsal hump surgery, and how septal reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks crooked after dorsal hump surgery, and how septal reconstruction is performed

A crooked nose and deviated septum that developed after dorsal hump correction were improved by removing the existing donor rib cartilage, reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, and performing submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose widens and becomes blocked after double-jaw surgery, and how to address both function and form

A case in which intranasal mucosal adhesions, nasal obstruction, and a widened nasal deformity following double-jaw surgery were corrected using synechia adhesiolysis, donor rib cartilage, and septal cartilage.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal threads and fat grafting fail to create a defined line: foreign body removal and rib cartilage reconstruction

A case where foreign material was removed after dissatisfaction with thread lifting and fat grafting alongside a deviated septum, creating a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage and relieving nasal obstruction.

Preoperative condition

Why a dorsal hump and a long nose often accompany nasal obstruction, and how they are corrected — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a dorsal hump and a long nose often accompany nasal obstruction, and how they are corrected

A case involving a history of nose thread lifting, a dorsal hump, a long nose, and rhinitis symptoms, corrected with osteotomy, hump rasping, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate resection.

Why a thick columella and upturned nasal tip develop, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a thick columella and upturned nasal tip develop, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

A case of an upturned nose with septal damage and contracture deformity from repeated surgeries, where the septum and lower lateral cartilages were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage along with columellar width correction.

Preoperative condition

Revision rhinoplasty approach addressing both a drooping tip and nasal obstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty approach addressing both a drooping tip and nasal obstruction

For a drooping tip, dorsal depression, and nasal obstruction that developed after multiple surgeries, septal extension using donor rib cartilage, dermal grafting for the depressed area, and septoplasty were performed.

Structure and correction methods for a short and upturned nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Structure and correction methods for a short and upturned nose

This case involved a small, upturned nasal tip, excessive nostril show, and rhinitis. Using partially calcified autologous rib cartilage, we performed septal extension, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates, and nasolabial angle correction.

Nasal correction considering philtrum length and alar asymmetry

For an elongated-looking philtrum and asymmetrical alae, filler was removed, followed by septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, nasal sill reduction, and septal and rhinitis surgery.

Nasal structure of an artificial-looking nose after surgery and reconstruction methods

For a high radix, upturned tip, and nasal obstruction caused by septal deviation, donor rib cartilage extension, tip cartilage repositioning, and inferior turbinate resection were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Correction approach considering both a large nose and facial proportions

For a large nose with a dorsal hump and a drooping tip, harmony was achieved through lateral osteotomy, nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, nasal sill reduction, and autologous facial fat grafting.

Before-and-after comparison

How to remove embedded lifting threads from the nose and reconstruct the nasal structure

After completely removing 20 to 30 remaining threads inserted during oriental clinic thread-lifting procedures, the nasal line was improved by combining nasal tip correction using septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage with rhinitis surgery.

Preoperative condition

Reconstruction methods for an upturned nose and damaged support structures — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Reconstruction methods for an upturned nose and damaged support structures

An upturned nose accompanied by loss of the septum and damage to the lower lateral cartilages from excessive cartilage harvesting was restored through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and alar cartilage reconstruction using the previous ear cartilage.

Preoperative condition

How to correct a short nose and nasal obstruction together — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to correct a short nose and nasal obstruction together

A short, upturned nose accompanied by nasal obstruction and a decreased sense of smell was corrected using a combination of septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty for a deviated septum, lateral osteotomy, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

Upturned nose and nasal obstruction: how to reconstruct structural support with rib cartilage

For an upturned nose and severe nasal obstruction caused by septal cartilage loss following silicone implant removal, we performed total septal reconstruction using rib cartilage, nostril lowering, and internal nasal valve reconstruction.

Before-and-after comparison

How to correct a crooked nose, nasal obstruction, and nasal tip structure together

A damaged septum, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction from previous surgery were corrected structurally and functionally using autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, septal extension grafting, and rhinitis surgery.

How to replace absorbed donor rib cartilage with autologous rib cartilage

For a patient whose nose became crooked and drooped due to partial resorption of previously placed donor rib cartilage, we removed the absorbed cartilage and performed septal reconstruction and deviated septum correction using autologous rib cartilage.

How to correct a contracted nose and inflammation caused by residual foreign material

Contracture and septal defect developed due to residual mesh and a foreign body reaction from previous surgeries. We removed the remaining foreign material, reconstructed the septum using autologous rib cartilage, and performed a skin graft to the columella.
