Before-and-after comparison

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 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.

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.

Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition

To correct a severe bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella, we performed anterior repositioning of the septal cartilage, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, partial removal of soft tissue, and repositioning of the lower lateral cartilages.

Why old silicone implants cause deformity and pain, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For nasal deformity, dorsal pain, and nasal obstruction caused by an old implant, septoplasty and autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction were performed to improve the columella and nostrils.

Why a crooked nose and nasal obstruction remain even after nose filler, and how to correct them

A case correcting a crooked nose, asymmetry, and rhinitis symptoms from a deviated septum after nose filler, using filler removal, donor rib cartilage septal extension, and septoplasty.

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 a blunt, spread nasal tip occurs, and how to create a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage septal extension

With no functional abnormalities present, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension and tip cartilage repositioning to correct a spread nasal tip and the appearance of a protruding mouth, creating a straight bridge line.

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.

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.

Removal of mesh inside the nose and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

This was a case involving a blunt nasal tip, a high starting point at the glabella, and mesh foreign material following a previous surgery. Four pieces of mesh were removed, and septal reconstruction and extension were performed using autologous rib cartilage.

Correction methods considering the shape of contracted and upturned noses

In a male patient who developed contracture deformity, an upturned nose, and nasal obstruction after repeated surgeries, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage along with nostril lowering were performed via 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.

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.

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.

How to correct right-sided nasal obstruction, a bulbous tip, and an upturned nose

To resolve an upturned nose, bulbous nasal tip, and right-sided nasal obstruction, we performed septal extension, lateral osteotomy, silicone implant placement, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction.

How to correct a bulbous, upturned nose

This is a case of a 21-year-old female with an upturned nose showing excessive nostril exposure and a bulbous tip. Subcutaneous tissue excision, silicone implant placement, lateral osteotomy, and septal extension grafting using septal and donor rib cartilage added definition and projection.
