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.

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.

Preoperative condition

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.

Before-and-after comparison

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.

Examining the causes of a contracted nose and methods for reconstruction

For a contracted nose and septal damage following repeated surgeries and implant removal, we reconstructed the septum using autologous rib cartilage while correcting the upturned tip and rhinitis.

Preoperative condition

Remaining structures and reconstruction methods after alar reduction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Remaining structures and reconstruction methods after alar reduction

Nostril asymmetry, a bulbous nasal tip, and nasal obstruction caused by excessive alar reduction were improved by combining autologous rib cartilage septal extension, alar reconstruction, and rhinitis surgery.

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

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.

How to correct a crooked nose, nasal obstruction, and nasal tip structure together — Before-and-after comparison
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.

Correcting a low nasal bridge and nasal obstruction together

A low, flat nasal bridge, a bulbous tip, and nasal obstruction caused by a deviated septum were improved through rhinoplasty using septal cartilage and ear cartilage, alongside inferior turbinate reduction.

How to replace absorbed donor rib cartilage with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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.

Preoperative condition

How the septum is reconstructed in revision rhinoplasty — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How the septum is reconstructed in revision rhinoplasty

In a patient presenting with septal damage, a crooked nose, and breathing difficulties following two-jaw surgery and filler procedures, residual filler was removed, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction was performed, and rhinitis surgery was carried out.

How to correct a contracted nose and inflammation caused by residual foreign material — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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.

Preoperative condition

Revision rhinoplasty for a long nose and a wide, flat nasal bridge — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty for a long nose and a wide, flat nasal bridge

A long nose, wide nasal bridge, mucus pooling, and nasal obstruction resulting from multiple prior surgeries were corrected using lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage grafting, and septoplasty.

Anatomy and correction methods for wide and bulbous noses — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Anatomy and correction methods for wide and bulbous noses

A blunt, wide nasal tip, a crooked nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction from rhinitis were corrected with lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate resection.

Preoperative condition

Corrective approaches for nasal obstruction and asymmetry after lateral osteotomy — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Corrective approaches for nasal obstruction and asymmetry after lateral osteotomy

A case in which nasal bone depression and nasal valve stenosis causing nasal obstruction following lateral osteotomy were addressed through lateral bone mobilization, nasal valve reconstruction, and dorsal augmentation with autologous rib cartilage.
