Why an upturned tip makes the mouth look more protruding and how to correct it

A bulbous, upturned nasal tip, the appearance of a protruding mouth, and nasal obstruction were addressed by removing columellar filler, reinforcing the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, placing a customized silicone implant, adjusting the nasolabial angle, and correcting a deviated septum.

Why the nasal bridge becomes uneven after rhinoplasty, and how septal reconstruction using rib cartilage is performed

An uneven nasal bridge, damaged septal cartilage, and nasal obstruction were corrected by removing the existing silicone implant and filler, followed by autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, re-insertion of a customized silicone implant, and septoplasty with inferior turbinoplasty.

Why a crooked nose and dorsal hump appear together, and how to approach male rhinoplasty

In a male patient in his early 20s presenting with a crooked nose, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, osteotomy, tip rhinoplasty using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and columellar correction were performed.

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nasal obstruction occurs after multiple rhinoplasties: Autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

To resolve a damaged septum, an upturned nasal tip, and rhinitis-related nasal obstruction after multiple surgeries, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and inferior turbinate reduction were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks bulbous and spread out, and how septal extension is performed

A bulbous, spread-out nasal tip and deviated septum were refined with autologous rib cartilage septal extension, nasolabial angle correction, a silicone implant on the nasal dorsum, and functional nasal surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip turns upward when the septum is lost, and how to reconstruct the septum with autologous rib cartilage

Septal support lost in previous surgeries was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and pinched alae and depressed nasal bridge areas were reinforced to correct an upturned nasal tip and nostril show.

Why a high radix makes the nose look artificial: septal reconstruction and radix correction methods

A deviated septum and an excessively high radix resulting from a previous surgery were precisely corrected using donor rib cartilage septal reconstruction, silicone implant replacement, osteotomy, and inferior turbinate reduction.

Why the columella retracts and the alar rim looks pinched after rhinoplasty, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

In a patient presenting with columellar retraction and a pinched right alar rim following rhinoplasty with silicone and donor rib cartilage, the existing materials were removed and reconstruction of the septum and alar cartilage was performed using autologous rib cartilage.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

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.

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.

Why nasal obstruction persists after multiple surgeries: How to reconstruct the septum and nasal valve

For a patient whose septum had collapsed after repeated surgeries, causing internal nasal valve stenosis and inferior turbinate adhesions, we performed septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, osteotomy reversal, and adhesiolysis.

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.
