Why Medpor extrudes through the nasal mucosa, and how removal and reconstruction are performed

The extruded Medpor and damaged tissue protruding into the nasal cavity were removed, and the septum along with the missing lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to treat asymmetry and inflammation.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal obstruction returns after rhinitis surgery and how structural correction is performed

With a history of nasal filler injection and rhinitis surgery, a widened and crooked nasal bridge and nasal obstruction were improved through septoplasty, inferior turbinectomy, and nasolabial angle adjustment.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose widens and becomes blocked after double-jaw surgery, and how to address both function and form

A case in which intranasal mucosal adhesions, nasal obstruction, and a widened nasal deformity following double-jaw surgery were corrected using synechia adhesiolysis, donor rib cartilage, and septal cartilage.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Revision rhinoplasty approach addressing nostril stenosis, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction together

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.

Nostril correction methods considering crooked nose, upturned nose, and nasal obstruction

For nasal tip deviation, an upturned tip, and nasal obstruction caused by intranasal mucosal adhesion following previous surgery, we performed septal extension using donor rib cartilage, nostril lowering, and mucosal adhesion release.

How to correct nasal obstruction and nostril asymmetry together

In a revision rhinoplasty case involving intranasal mucosal synechiae, a deviated septum, and nostril asymmetry, we removed the Gore-Tex implant, performed septal reconstruction and extension with autologous rib cartilage, along with alar rim extension and silicone implant replacement.

Rhinoplasty approach considering proportion and height for a small nose

This is a case of a male patient concerned with a small, short nose, a bulbous tip, and nasal obstruction. After checking the condition of the septal cartilage intraoperatively, autologous rib cartilage was used to shape the nasal tip, while a silicone implant and septal and inferior turbinate surgery were included in the surgical plan.
