Why a bulbous nose, wide nasal base, and drooping tip occur together and how to create a slimmer nasal line

A case in which nasal tip plasty with autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, nasal floor reduction, and nasolabial angle correction were performed together to correct a blunt bulbous nose, wide nasal base, and crooked nasal bridge.

Before-and-after comparison

Why cleft lip and palate revision rhinoplasty is challenging and methods for rib cartilage reconstruction

To improve a wide nose and drooping tip in a patient with a history of cleft lip and palate surgery, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, nasal tip elevation, nasal sill reduction, and inferior turbinate surgery were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal dorsum appears depressed and the tip looks bulbous after dorsal hump reduction, and how to correct it without implants

To improve a bulbous nasal tip, residual hump sensation, and asymmetry without silicone implants, autologous rib cartilage was used to elevate the nasal bridge and dorsal line, combined with cartilage repositioning, cartilage binding, and nasolabial angle correction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks spread out and lacks dimension, and how bulbous nose correction is performed

To improve a wide nasal bridge, a blunt nasal tip, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction, partial removal of subcutaneous tissue, lower lateral cartilage repositioning, cartilage suturing, and nasal tip height adjustment were performed in stages.

Why a crooked nose and irregular dorsum occur: implant removal and reconstruction methods

We removed the premaxillary ("cat") implant and irregularly placed ear cartilage from previous surgeries, then refined the crooked nose and radix line using a dermal graft, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time

Following prior surgery for rhinitis and a deviated septum, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms along with nasal deviation and nostril asymmetry, which were improved through autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and mucosal synechia adhesiolysis.

Why the septum is damaged and rhinitis recurs after double jaw surgery

We reconstructed the septum damaged by double jaw surgery using autologous rib cartilage, and combined rhinitis surgery, right alar reduction, and lateral osteotomy to create a straight bridge line.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge looks red after revision rhinoplasty and methods for reconstruction

Redness of the nasal bridge and a long nose that developed after two prior surgeries using autologous and donor rib cartilage were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, implant replacement, and nasal base correction.

Why nostrils become visible and nasal bridge volume is lost after multiple surgeries

A case of nasal reconstruction using recycled autologous rib cartilage combined with donor rib cartilage and skin grafts to correct an upturned nasal deformity and asymmetry caused by repeated surgeries.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal threads and fat grafting fail to create a defined line: foreign body removal and rib cartilage reconstruction

A case where foreign material was removed after dissatisfaction with thread lifting and fat grafting alongside a deviated septum, creating a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage and relieving nasal obstruction.

Planning implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage in patients with allergic tendencies

This is a revision rhinoplasty case where autologous rib cartilage was chosen instead of a silicone implant due to the patient's allergic constitution and concerns about inflammation. Drooping tip and a crooked nose were corrected through septal extension, bridge augmentation, and cartilage repositioning.

Nasal correction considering philtrum length and alar asymmetry

For an elongated-looking philtrum and asymmetrical alae, filler was removed, followed by septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, nasal sill reduction, and septal and rhinitis surgery.

Correction approach considering height and proportions for a small nose

For a small, upturned nose with a wide tip, foreign material from nasal bridge filler was removed, followed by lateral osteotomy, silicone implant placement, lowering the columella, and nasolabial angle correction.

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.

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.

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.

How to plan nasal filler removal and nasal obstruction correction

This is a case of a patient who visited our clinic presenting with a blunt, widened nose and intermittent nasal obstruction after nasal filler treatment. Filler removal and nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage were performed, and functional surgery for the septum and inferior turbinates was planned.
