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 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.

Problems caused by excessive harvest of septal cartilage and methods for reconstruction

In a patient whose septal cartilage had been excessively harvested during previous surgeries, leading to a shortened nasal tip and nostril asymmetry, the septum was solidly reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to restore nasal length.

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.

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 the nose looks spread after nose filler without dissolving it, and how to create a slim line

For a nasal bridge that became wide and crooked after filler injections, accompanied by a dorsal hump and bulbous tip, a combined procedure was performed consisting of lateral osteotomy, tip elevation using autologous rib cartilage, hump rasping, nasal sill reduction, and rhinitis surgery.

Why a wide nose often comes with nasal obstruction: Correction using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage

For a wide nose, bulbous tip, crooked nose, and deviated septum, lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, bridge augmentation, septal and inferior turbinate surgery, and autologous fat grafting were performed.

Why the nose turns up, the columella retracts, and the tip looks pinched: how composite correction is performed

For an upturned nose, retracted columella, pinched tip, and nostril asymmetry following repeated surgeries, columellar reconstruction, pinched tip correction, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous nose, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction occur together, and how straight bridge line correction is performed

A case where a blunt, wide nasal tip, a columella tilted to the right, and nasal obstruction were refined into a natural straight bridge line through bulbous tip correction, nasolabial angle improvement, and septoplasty.

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 nostril asymmetry and an upturned nose occur together, and how rib cartilage reconstruction works

A case correcting nostril asymmetry, columellar deviation, and an upturned nose following a previous surgery using lateral osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage septal extension, alongside functional improvement.

How to address a widened nose and nasal obstruction left by multiple filler injections

A case where a widened nasal bridge, upturned nasal tip, and deviated septum resulting from repeated filler procedures were improved together through filler removal, donor rib cartilage septal extension, and septoplasty.

Why repeat rhinoplasty thins the nasal tip skin causing cartilage show-through, and how autologous dermis reinforcement helps

To resolve thinned nasal tip skin and cartilage show-through caused by repeated surgeries, retroauricular autologous dermis grafting, lateral osteotomy, and columellar elevation were performed.

Dorsal hump and crooked nose worsened after trauma: A correction method with minimal change

A case in which septal extension using donor rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and inferior turbinate rhinitis surgery were performed for a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction that worsened after trauma.

Why contracture and septal perforation occur after old Gore-Tex, and how reconstruction is performed

To resolve contracture, septal perforation, and cartilage loss that occurred after Gore-Tex surgery performed long ago, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and the perforation was closed.

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.
