How to correct the nasal tip and bridge in a sharp upturned nose

This is a case of previous surgery resulting in a deviated nasal bridge, an upturned nasal tip, nasolabial angle issues, and nasal obstruction. Using a closed approach with autologous rib cartilage, septal deviation correction, septal extension, and lateral osteotomy were performed.

How to correct a wide nose and bulbous tip together

This is a case of a bulbous nose, dorsal hump, crooked nose, and rhinitis symptoms. Through a closed approach, septal extension using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, osteotomy, silicone implant placement, bulbous tip correction, and rhinitis surgery were performed concurrently.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for a short and upturned nose

A short, upturned nose and nasal obstruction following multiple prior surgeries were corrected using donor rib cartilage septal extension, recycling of existing cartilage, silicone implant replacement, and septal and inferior turbinate surgery.

How to plan bulbous nose correction together with lowering the columella

To correct snoring, a retracted columella, a crooked nose, and a bulbous nose, residual bridge filler was removed, and septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, lowering the columella, and septoplasty and inferior turbinate surgery were performed through a closed approach.

Closed correction method for a crooked nose and nostril asymmetry

In a patient with a persistent crooked nose, nostril asymmetry, a wide nasal dorsum, and nasal obstruction after a prior rhinoplasty, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, osteotomies, and inferior turbinate resection were performed without an implant.

Correcting a crooked nose and nostril asymmetry while considering breathing

Following prior filler and rhinoplasty, the patient experienced a persistent crooked nose, nostril asymmetry, and breathing difficulty; we performed filler removal, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage, and inferior turbinate resection.

Rhinoplasty approach examining the structure of a bulbous nasal tip

In a patient presenting with a bulbous, drooping tip and symptoms of a deviated septum after previous rhinoplasty, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and turbinoplasty were performed via a closed approach.

A corrective approach addressing both nasal obstruction and a bulbous nose

To improve nasal obstruction caused by rhinitis and a deviated septum, along with a drooping bulbous nose, septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and silicone bridge augmentation were performed using a closed approach.

The anatomy of post-traumatic nasal obstruction and its correction methods

In a patient presenting with septal fracture, nasal obstruction, and tip deviation resulting from trauma, septal correction and extension using donor rib cartilage, dorsal reinforcement with dermis, and osteotomy were performed via an implant-free, closed approach.

Crooked nose, dorsal hump, and short nose: structural analysis and correction methods

A nose deviated to the right, accompanied by a dorsal hump, an upturned nasal tip, and nasal obstruction, was corrected through closed septoplasty, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates, and septal extension.

Revision rhinoplasty for nostril asymmetry and a flared nose

Following a history of double-jaw surgery and rhinoplasty, the anterior nasal spine had been resected, resulting in nostril asymmetry and nasal obstruction. The septum and lower lateral cartilages were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, along with silicone implant exchange and nasal sill reduction.
