Correcting asymmetry and function in a small, upturned nose with thin skin

This is a revision case involving thin skin, an upturned nose, and nostril asymmetry following a prior surgery. The septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, combined with artificial dermis reinforcement, alar rim elongation, and septoplasty.

Rhinoplasty methods for improving dorsal hump and nasal obstruction

A case of correcting a long dorsal hump, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction without an implant. Through a closed approach, the bone was refined, lateral osteotomy was performed, and septoplasty along with bridge augmentation using diced cartilage was carried out.

How to correct a pinched nose and nostril asymmetry

A case correcting pinched alae, an upturned nose, and nostril asymmetry following previous surgeries. Using a closed approach, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, lower lateral cartilage reconstruction, alar rim grafting (lowering the alar rim), and dermis grafting were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

How to correct a bulbous and short nose without implants

To improve a short, upturned nasal tip, a bulbous nose, and a dorsal hump, implant-free rhinoplasty was performed. Using a closed approach, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lower lateral cartilage repositioning, and septal correction were carried out.

Reconstruction methods for a contracted nose accompanied by nasal obstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Reconstruction methods for a contracted nose accompanied by nasal obstruction

This is a case of a contracted nose and nasal obstruction following multiple surgical procedures. After silicone implant removal and stem cell therapy, nasal tip and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and an inferior turbinoplasty were performed through a closed approach.

Preoperative condition

Revision rhinoplasty for nostril asymmetry and a flared nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty for nostril asymmetry and a flared nose

Following a history of double-jaw surgery and rhinoplasty, the anterior nasal spine had been resected, resulting in nostril asymmetry and nasal obstruction. The septum and lower lateral cartilages were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, along with silicone implant exchange and nasal sill reduction.

Before-and-after comparison

How to correct a crooked nose and a bulbous, drooping nasal tip

A crooked nose with a drooping, bulbous tip and a high radix following multiple surgeries was corrected using autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and extension, radix lowering, and rhinitis surgery.

Surgical approach for nasal obstruction, a drooping tip, and lowering the columella — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Surgical approach for nasal obstruction, a drooping tip, and lowering the columella

Right-sided nasal obstruction, a drooping nasal tip, and a retracted columella following two previous surgeries were addressed using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, implant replacement, and mucosal adhesiolysis.

Preoperative condition

Revision rhinoplasty approach for a long nose and high radix after repeated surgeries — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty approach for a long nose and high radix after repeated surgeries

A long nose, high radix, and columellar depression that developed after multiple prior surgeries were corrected by removing previous foreign material, reconstructing the septum with donor rib cartilage, and carving a silicone implant.

Preoperative condition

Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty methods for correcting a short, upturned nose

Nasal obstruction, a pinched look, and an upturned nose that developed after ear cartilage suturing and filler injection were corrected with foreign material removal, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and cartilage repositioning.

Surgical approach for a collapsed nose caused by septal cartilage damage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Surgical approach for a collapsed nose caused by septal cartilage damage

In a nose where most of the septum and alar cartilages were lost after two previous surgeries, we reconstructed the overall framework using autologous rib cartilage, removed contracture tissue, and corrected the nasolabial angle.

How to correct right-sided nasal obstruction, a bulbous tip, and an upturned nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to correct right-sided nasal obstruction, a bulbous tip, and an upturned nose

To resolve an upturned nose, bulbous nasal tip, and right-sided nasal obstruction, we performed septal extension, lateral osteotomy, silicone implant placement, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction.

Preoperative condition

How to lower a high radix — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to lower a high radix

In a patient presenting with an excessively high radix, a drooping tip, and nasal obstruction, a closed approach was used to lower the starting point, reconstruct the nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage, and perform septoplasty.

Methods for correcting a dorsal hump and crooked nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Methods for correcting a dorsal hump and crooked nose

This is a case of nasal bone deformity, a dorsal hump, and right-sided nasal obstruction following closed reduction for a nasal bone fracture. After confirming depression of the right nasal bone on CT, osteotomy and septal reconstruction were planned, and the changes in nasal shape after surgery were documented.

Preoperative condition

How to correct nasal obstruction and a wide, spread-out nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to correct nasal obstruction and a wide, spread-out nose

This is a case where mucosal adhesion, septal deviation, and tip deformity were identified following previous surgeries. We planned support reinforcement using autologous rib cartilage along with functional surgery, and recorded the postoperative changes in columellar and nostril asymmetry.

Preoperative condition

Contracted nose reconstruction method for the nasal bridge and nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Contracted nose reconstruction method for the nasal bridge and nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage

This is a case of a contracted nose following total removal of materials due to acute inflammation after a previous surgery. After stem cell injection therapy, the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilage were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and adhesiolysis was planned to address nasal obstruction.

Preoperative condition

Correction methods for a small and bulbous nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Correction methods for a small and bulbous nose

This is a case of a small, bulbous nose accompanied by poor skin elasticity and nasal obstruction. The thin, deviated septum was partially reconstructed and extended using autologous rib cartilage, and functional nasal surgery was planned for the deviated septum and inferior turbinate.

Preoperative condition

Methods for correcting an arrow-shaped nose and crooked nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Methods for correcting an arrow-shaped nose and crooked nose

This case addresses nasal obstruction along with a long, drooping arrow-shaped nose and a crooked nasal bridge. Surgery on the septum and inferior turbinate, along with osteotomy and cartilage reinforcement, was planned, and changes in bridge curvature and tip drooping were documented after surgery.
