A small, short, and upturned nose: why it should not be raised excessively

A case of a short, upturned, small nose with no prior rhinoplasty. Considering the skin tension, septal extension was performed using autologous rib cartilage, combined with functional surgery for the septum and turbinates.

Before-and-after comparison

How a fractured nasal bone alters the nose after trauma, and how reduction and reconstruction are performed

A case involving a traumatic nasal bone fracture and damage to the right cartilage. Closed reduction of the nasal bone and donor rib cartilage reconstruction were performed alongside procedures to improve facial balance.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal tip skin thins and cartilage shows through, and how skin reinforcement is done

A case of skin thinning, cartilage show-through, and an upturned nose following contracted nose surgery. The skin was reinforced with dermis and autologous rib perichondrium, along with septal extension.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor in the nose causes nasal obstruction, and how Medpor removal and septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage are performed

A septum weakened by Medpor inserted 10 years ago was completely removed and reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, performed concurrently with septoplasty and inferior turbinate surgery.

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.

Depression along the nasal bridge and an upturned feel after repeated implant insertions and removals — Before-and-after comparison

Depression along the nasal bridge and an upturned feel after repeated implant insertions and removals

Correcting nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an overly high radix caused by repeated surgeries using autologous rib cartilage septal extension and height adjustment.

Before-and-after comparison

How to balance the nasal bridge and tip when a dorsal hump and drooping tip coexist

A dorsal hump, drooping tip, and rhinitis-related nasal obstruction were addressed by resecting the hump, combining autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, and performing nasolabial angle and septal correction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks wide and the tip droops after double jaw surgery, and how to reconstruct it with rib cartilage

After double jaw surgery and rhinoplasty, a wide-looking nose and drooping tip were improved by removing the previous materials, reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, and performing nasal sill reduction.

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.

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.

Undissolved residual nasal filler and wide alae: causes, removal, and correction methods

Residual unabsorbed HA filler was completely removed, followed by autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, lower lateral cartilage trimming, and septal and inferior turbinate surgery, all performed via a closed approach.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip spreads wide and the nose appears crooked, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For a crooked nose with a wide, bulbous tip and a drooping tip deformity, autologous rib cartilage nasal structural reconstruction was performed alongside nasolabial angle correction and functional rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why infection recurs after rhinoplasty: treatment of inflammation and staged reconstruction

In a patient presenting with mucosal perforation and contracture deformity caused by implant infection, inflamed tissue was debrided and irrigated, followed by staged septal reconstruction.

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed

For an overly high "Pinocchio-like" deviated nose with septal damage, the silicone implant was removed, and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, radix adjustment, and nasal sill reduction were performed.

Preoperative condition · Postoperative record

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed

This is a case where the nasal bones, septum, and keystone area were damaged after repeated surgeries, causing nasal obstruction due to nasal valve stenosis. Autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the nasal support structure and nasal valve, while correcting bridge depression and asymmetry.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

How high can a small, blunt nose be raised? — Skin limitations and reconstruction methods

A primary rhinoplasty case for a patient with a small, wide nasal tip, drooping, a minor dorsal hump, and chronic nasal obstruction, treated through gradual expansion accounting for skin elasticity, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, and septal correction.
