Seeking a straight nose does not mean wanting a sharp, pointy nasal tip. The original case notes specifically describe the patient's request for a straight nose without a pointy tip. The actual surgery is detailed, showing how autologous rib cartilage was used to adjust the tip length and angle, while a silicone implant tailored to the nasal bone shaped the nasal bridge line.
Even with similar design requests, the roles of materials used for the nasal bridge and the nasal tip differ. In this collection, you can examine descriptions regarding height, tip sharpness, and naturalness alongside the single term "straight." Patient wishes and postoperative observations are clearly distinguished, without assuming that the same straight line suits a specific gender or every face.

This is a case of septal cartilage deficit, nasal bone asymmetry, and nasal obstruction remaining after two surgeries. Through a closed approach, autologous rib cartilage was used for septal reconstruction, along with nasolabial angle correction, nasal bone asymmetry correction, and radix adjustment.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
A primary rhinoplasty case involving a small, low nose and an upturned tip causing excessive nostril show. Using a closed approach, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle correction, artificial dermis skin reinforcement, and a silicone implant were performed.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
Following prior surgeries, a bulbous and drooping long nose with an excessively high radix and nasal obstruction was corrected using a closed approach. Scar tissue debridement, osteotomy, nasolabial angle correction, and septoplasty were performed concurrently.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
We extended the septum with autologous rib cartilage and corrected the nasolabial angle to improve an upturned nasal tip and a long philtrum. Lateral osteotomy, a custom silicone implant, and rhinitis surgery were performed concurrently.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
Through a closed approach, a nose that became low, upturned, and showed excessive nostril exposure after silicone implant removal was refined using autologous rib cartilage tip extension, nasal bridge height restoration, and correction of the nasolabial angle to 90 degrees.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
In a male patient in his early 20s presenting with a crooked nose, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, osteotomy, tip rhinoplasty using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and columellar correction were performed.
Patient goals
Nasal obstruction, a dorsal hump, and maxillary protrusion caused by a septum severely deviated to the left were addressed simultaneously through septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.
Patient goals
For a male patient who had received repeated filler injections for a low nasal bridge, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage and the insertion of a customized silicone implant.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
Foreign material was removed from the nasal bridge, and lateral osteotomy, a custom-carved silicone implant, and donor rib cartilage were used to eliminate the dorsal step-off, creating a slim, straight bridge line.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
For a nose showing cartilage show-through through thinned skin, a widened nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction 7 years after surgery, autologous dermis reinforcement, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, lateral osteotomy, and septoplasty were performed.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
A case of a short, upturned, small nose with no prior rhinoplasty. Considering the skin tension, septal extension was performed using autologous rib cartilage, combined with functional surgery for the septum and turbinates.
Patient goals · Postoperative record
A case where a septum weakened and deviated to the left from a previous surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage. Addressing both nasal obstruction and an upturned nose, the nasal tip was elongated, and the depressed nasal dorsum and nasolabial angle were corrected.
Patient goals
A case of autologous rib cartilage reconstruction combined with septal and inferior turbinate surgery to address a left-deviated nose, long nose, bulbous tip, severe facial asymmetry, and nasal obstruction.
Postoperative record
A case where a crooked nasal bone and drooping bulbous tip remaining after previous dorsal hump correction were straightened through lateral osteotomy, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, hump rasping, and rhinitis surgery.
Patient goals
A case of improving right alar pinching and depression caused by repeated surgeries and nasal tip inflammation using autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, nostril elongation, and a skin graft.
Postoperative record
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.
Postoperative record
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.
Postoperative record
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.

There is a documented case explicitly noting a request for a straight nose that is not pointy. That surgery involved adjusting the nasal tip through septal extension using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle correction, while an implant tailored to the nasal bone was placed on the nasal bridge. Rather than assuming the tip shape from the word "straight" alone, you can review the specific design request.
The referenced article explains autologous rib cartilage used to support the nasal tip and silicone used to define the nasal bridge line separately. The process of adjusting tip length and angle is also documented. Therefore, rather than viewing the straight profile line as the result of an implant alone, it helps to understand what was actually performed on both the nasal bridge and the nasal tip.
