A history of nasal filler injections often serves as a key clue explaining current nasal contours. This includes cases where residual filler in the glabella caused it to appear excessively high and widened, as well as cases where a long nose remained a concern even after a filler removal procedure. The mention of filler does not mean that a new filler injection was performed this time.
Some surgical notes specify the removal of calcium hydroxyapatite or hyaluronic acid fillers during surgery. However, posts that specify the exact material name provide a different scope of information than those that simply refer to filler or foreign material. Please review the photos alongside details such as the type and frequency of prior procedures, actual residual locations, and what was removed or corrected during this surgery.

A case where a silicone implant became palpable, the nasal tip skin thinned, and asymmetry developed after a previous rhinoplasty. The implant was removed, the nasal tip and septum were reconstructed using sliced autologous rib cartilage, and artificial dermis was used for reinforcement.
Previous surgeries and procedures
This is a revision rhinoplasty case where the patient experienced a drooping tip, a deviated septum, and nasal obstruction after previous surgery. The septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and silicone implant replacement along with rhinitis surgery was performed using a closed approach.
Previous surgeries and procedures
A high, deviated silicone implant was replaced to lower the radix, and septal extension was performed using donor rib cartilage. Partial soft tissue resection, cartilage tie, and rhinitis surgery addressed the bulbous tip and nasal obstruction.
Previous surgeries and procedures
Previously injected nasal filler was removed, the protruding dorsal hump was rasped, and lateral osteotomies were performed. The blunt nasal tip was elevated using autologous rib cartilage, and both the nasolabial angle and septum were corrected.
Previous surgeries and procedures · Removed in this surgery
A bulbous, upturned nasal tip, the appearance of a protruding mouth, and nasal obstruction were addressed by removing columellar filler, reinforcing the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, placing a customized silicone implant, adjusting the nasolabial angle, and correcting a deviated septum.
Previous surgeries and procedures · Removed in this surgery
An uneven nasal bridge, damaged septal cartilage, and nasal obstruction were corrected by removing the existing silicone implant and filler, followed by autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, re-insertion of a customized silicone implant, and septoplasty with inferior turbinoplasty.
Removed in this surgery
We removed previous foreign materials and implants, reconstructed the nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage, reinforced the thinned skin with autologous dermis, recarved a silicone implant, and performed fat grafting between the eyebrows.
Previous surgeries and procedures
To resolve a damaged septum, an upturned nasal tip, and rhinitis-related nasal obstruction after multiple surgeries, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and inferior turbinate reduction were performed.
Previous surgeries and procedures
To correct the residual deviated nasal bone, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction remaining after a previous silicone rhinoplasty, the existing implant was removed and lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, and septoplasty were performed.
Previous surgeries and procedures · Removed in this surgery
To resolve a persistent drooping tip and dorsal hump deformity after filler and PDO thread lifting, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, a silicone implant on the nasal bridge, and septoplasty.
Previous surgeries and procedures
A case of persistent nostril asymmetry and nasal valve stenosis after multiple surgeries, addressed by removing existing implants, performing septoplasty and turbinoplasty, and reconstructing the structure with rib cartilage and a skin graft.
Previous surgeries and procedures
A case addressing a drooping, elongated nasal tip after silicone rhinoplasty and nasal filler procedures. The existing implant and residual filler were removed, the support structure was reinforced using autologous rib cartilage, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.
Previous surgeries and procedures
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.
Previous surgeries and procedures · Removed in this surgery
To improve the nasal bridge and glabella height in balance with prominent brow bones, the existing implant was removed, and a 3D custom implant, autologous rib cartilage tip support, and nasolabial angle correction were performed.
Previous surgeries and procedures
A crooked nose, influenced by facial asymmetry, a history of orbital fracture, and facial contouring surgery, was corrected to align with the central facial axis, along with clearing existing filler and refining a drooping tip and the nasolabial angle.
Previous surgeries and procedures
After permanent filler injections left the nose crooked and bulbous, the filler was removed, and a refined line was created using autologous rib cartilage for nasal tip support, lateral osteotomy, and a customized silicone implant.
Previous surgeries and procedures · Removed in this surgery
For a blunt, wide bulbous nose and drooping tip following nasal filler injections, we performed filler removal, created a tip support structure using autologous rib cartilage, reinforced the septum, and thinned the skin.
Previous surgeries and procedures
Following prior surgery with a silicone implant and ear cartilage, the patient presented with a long, drooping columella and a crooked nose. The ear cartilage was replaced with autologous rib cartilage, the nasolabial angle was adjusted, and septal correction was performed.

There are recorded cases where a patient still had concerns about a long nose after having had prior filler removal and rhinoplasty. In other posts, residual filler remaining in the glabella was described as contributing to the nasal shape observed during the initial consultation. Because a past removal history and the confirmation of currently remaining material are distinct pieces of information, please check what each revision rhinoplasty post specifically documents.
One surgical record specifically notes the fillers removed from the nasal bridge and nasal tip as calcium hydroxyapatite filler and hyaluronic acid filler. However, not all posts specify the exact type of material. Cases without a specified name should not be assumed to involve a particular ingredient, nor should intraoperative surgical removal be viewed as the same process as standard filler dissolving procedures.
