For readers searching for the term "nasal valve," these records demonstrate the location of nasal obstruction alongside verified anatomical structures. In one patient, septal deviation, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, right mucosal adhesion, and internal nasal valve stenosis were documented together. In another patient, collapse of the nasal bone and nasal roof was observed following previous osteotomy, which was explained in connection with breathing discomfort.
This collection does not attribute all nasal obstruction to the single term "nasal valve." Follow the original records to see which side showed stenosis, whether septal or mucosal issues were present, and what surgery was planned for each. Even in cases addressing both nasal valve findings and external nasal appearance, we have linked supporting context from the main text so that photographs alone are not used to judge the condition of the airway.

Lost lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and asymmetric, pinched nostrils were corrected. By lowering the radix, the appearance of a long nose was reduced, and surgery for rhinitis and nasal valve stenosis was performed concurrently.
Preoperative condition
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.
Preoperative condition
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.
Preoperative condition
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
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.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
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.
Preoperative condition
For nostril asymmetry and stenosis following alar and philtrum reduction, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage, Z-plasty, and dermal grafting were performed.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
To address left nostril stenosis and cartilage damage after alar reduction, septal and alar reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed alongside an intranasal rotational flap.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A case of nostril stenosis and an upturned nose following previous surgeries, reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage instead of a silicone implant, along with skin grafting and lower lateral cartilage reconstruction.
Preoperative condition
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.
Preoperative condition
For a contracted nose and a sharply upturned nasal tip that developed after multiple surgeries, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, removal of inflammatory tissue from the nasal tip, and nostril lowering were performed.
Preoperative condition
Left nostril stenosis and nasal obstruction that developed after repeated surgeries were improved through scar tissue removal, skin grafting, Z-plasty, and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
A wide nasal tip, wide nasal bones, and nasal obstruction caused by internal nasal valve stenosis were improved together using closed lateral osteotomy, partial resection of subcutaneous tissue, and septal cartilage reinforcement.
Preoperative condition
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.

Yes. One examination record noted anterior and deep septal deviation, bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy, right internal nasal valve stenosis, and mucosal adhesion together. Subsequently, septoplasty, inferior turbinate treatment, adhesion release, and nasal valve reconstruction were planned for each. Because multiple findings were documented for a single symptom, they can be read by category.
Yes, there are. One revision surgery record describes a state where the nasal bone and nasal roof collapsed after excessive osteotomy of the left nasal bone, noting that left internal nasal valve stenosis affected breathing. This was the preoperative finding for that specific patient. It does not represent the outcome of all osteotomy procedures, but serves as a case illustrating the connection between a previous surgery and the currently identified issue.
