Aged nasal implants and nasal pain: key points to evaluate in revision rhinoplasty

A case in an older patient with a 50-year history of repeated surgeries, nasal pain, and a crooked nose deformity, where the previous cartilage causing the pain was removed and the nose was reconstructed using donor rib cartilage.

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.

Corrective approaches for nasal obstruction and asymmetry after lateral osteotomy

A case in which nasal bone depression and nasal valve stenosis causing nasal obstruction following lateral osteotomy were addressed through lateral bone mobilization, nasal valve reconstruction, and dorsal augmentation with autologous rib cartilage.

Bulbous nose and upturned nose: correction tailored to facial proportions

A case of a 24-year-old male patient who presented with a bulbous nose, an upturned nasal tip, and left-sided nasal obstruction. Septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, lowering the columella, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed.

Supportive structures and correction methods for a short and low nose

A case of a 26-year-old male patient with a low, short nose, a dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, treated with partial septal reconstruction, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, and silicone implant placement.

How to plan foreign material removal and nasal reconstruction

We resolved the asymmetry and nasal deviation caused by foreign materials such as threads and filler, rebuilding a well-aligned contour using donor rib cartilage septal 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.

Rhinoplasty method considering the nasal bridge starting point and facial proportions

Prominent brow bones, a low glabella, and a drooping nasal tip were corrected following filler removal by inserting a glabellar silicone implant, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and rhinitis surgery.

Surgical planning for rhinoplasty addressing both a protruding mouth and the nasolabial angle

This is a case where a retracted columella, a bulbous and upturned tip, and a small dorsal hump made a protruding mouth look prominent. Septal extension and lateral osteotomy were planned, and changes in the nasal tip and nasolabial angle were documented following closed rhinoplasty.

How to reconstruct the nose after silicone implant exposure and inflammation

In a case presenting with silicone implant exposure accompanied by inflammatory granulation tissue, the existing implant and capsule were removed, and autologous rib cartilage was used to perform septal extension and reconstruct the lower lateral 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.

Correction method for a small, upturned nose considering the nasolabial angle and nasal function

To correct nasal obstruction along with an upturned nose, short nose, and low glabella, septoplasty, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and lateral osteotomy were performed using a closed approach.

Supportive structures and correction methods for a bulbous and upturned nose

To correct an upturned tip, a bulbous tip, and a low glabella while avoiding the use of rib cartilage, a septal extension graft using septal cartilage and nasal bridge augmentation with a silicone implant were performed via a closed approach.

Characteristics and correction methods for an upturned, curved nose

A revision rhinoplasty case in a male patient presenting with an upturned nasal tip, excessive nostril show, and nasal obstruction, treated via a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, implant exchange, and septoplasty.

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.

How to correct an upturned nose and nostril show together

To correct an upturned nose, nostril show, and pinched alae resulting from multiple previous surgeries, I reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, and performed nostril lowering and osteotomy through a 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.
