Why cartilage shows through after multiple rhinoplasties and how to restore the mucosa and structure

A case where autologous rib cartilage was used to reinforce soft tissue, reconstruct nasal structure, and perform functional surgery to improve mucosal thinning, lateral cartilage show-through, and nostril asymmetry resulting from repeated surgeries.

Why the nasal bridge sinks and one side becomes blocked after rhinoplasty osteotomy: Internal nasal valve reconstruction and restoration

A case where nasal bones, the nasal vault, and the septum were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to resolve collapsed nasal bones, nasal roof collapse, internal nasal valve stenosis, and pain caused by excessive osteotomy in a previous surgery.

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.

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.

Why a mass obstructing the nostril develops, and how to perform resection and reconstruction

This is a case where a chronic inflammatory mass that developed after repeated surgeries and obstructed the nostril was precisely resected, restoring breathing function and stabilizing the nasal tip structure.

Septal perforation and nasal tip cartilage show-through after repeated rhinoplasties: how reconstruction is performed

A case where autologous rib cartilage was used for full septal reconstruction alongside dermis grafting to address repeated surgical history, septal perforation, and thinned nasal tip skin.

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.

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 a custom-fit implant is used for a nose with facial asymmetry, and methods for dorsal hump correction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a custom-fit implant is used for a nose with facial asymmetry, and methods for dorsal hump correction

Considering congenital facial asymmetry and prominent brow bones, the dorsal hump was corrected with a 3D-printed custom implant, combined with nasal tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage and rhinitis surgery to achieve improvement.

Before-and-after comparison

Causes of nasal tip show-through and correction methods to lower the tip defining point

To correct persistent nasal tip show-through and an upturned nose that remained even after an ear dermis graft, past filler residue was completely removed, the tip defining point was naturally lowered, and nasal tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage was performed.

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it

We removed an old paranasal implant that had migrated into the nasal cavity and obstructed breathing, and completely reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, improving both breathing function and nasal appearance.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why donor dermis absorbs after multiple revision surgeries and how to reconstruct the septum

For a patient who experienced partial absorption of donor dermis on the nasal bridge and septal damage after multiple revision surgeries, the donor dermis was removed, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the skin was reinforced with retroauricular dermis.

How to refine only the nasal tip and transition area without an implant

To maintain the existing bridge line and address a crooked nose and dorsal hump without major changes, we performed implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and rhinitis surgery.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why post-nasal drip and a drooping tip occur together, and how septal extension and functional surgery address them

Post-nasal drip, a drooping tip, and a narrow columella were comprehensively improved through septal and inferior turbinate surgery, autologous cartilage septal extension, and alar reduction.
