Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and how dermis grafting reinforces it

For a nose showing cartilage show-through through thinned skin, a widened nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction 7 years after surgery, autologous dermis reinforcement, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, lateral osteotomy, and septoplasty were performed.

What problems arise with a septal perforation, and how is it reconstructed?

In a case where a 15×10 mm septal perforation and cartilage damage occurred after previous surgery, the perforation was closed with a skin graft and structural support was restored by reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage.

Why a wide tip often comes with nasal obstruction, and how foreign material removal and reconstruction are performed

For nasal obstruction caused by nasal bridge filler, a bulbous nose, a deviated septum, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty, and turbinoplasty.

Why the nasal tip droops and spreads when smiling after rhinoplasty: foreign material removal and tip correction methods

A case of nasal tip drooping, a pinched look, and tip spreading after nasal filler injection and silicone rhinoplasty 7 years ago. Foreign materials and the silicone implant were removed, and the nasolabial angle was corrected while reinforcing tip support.

Why the nose looks long and the columella deviates: how septal extension and reconstruction are performed

To improve an elongated-looking nose, nostril asymmetry, and a deviated columella, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septal reconstruction, and alar base width correction together.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why an old silicone implant capsule calcifies and causes a dorsal hump and crooked nose

A case of complete reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage after removing an L-shaped silicone implant and its calcified capsule inserted 30 years ago, which had caused a dorsal hump and a crooked nose.

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 the nasal tip shows through after dermal graft surgery and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage

A case where donor dermis previously placed on the nasal dorsum caused tip show-through and made the midface appear elongated; all donor dermis was completely removed, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction was performed, and stem cell therapy was combined.

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.

Why a crooked nose and a drooping tip occur together: How septal reconstruction and rhinitis surgery are performed

Following previous rhinoplasty, poor septal support led to a crooked nose, a drooping tip, and excessive nostril show. These concerns were addressed through septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and tip support correction.

Why the nose looks bulbous and spread out, and how to correct the nasolabial angle and columella

A wide, blunt nasal bridge, drooping nasal tip, and retracted columella were corrected into a slim, three-dimensional profile using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle correction, and nostril sill reduction.

Nose with remaining filler and threads: how much can rib cartilage reconstruction achieve after removal?

To improve nasal bridge asymmetry and a blunt nasal shape resulting from nose filler and thread-lifting procedures, the foreign materials were removed, and tip support structures were established using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage.
