Rhinoplasty cases accompanied by facial fat grafting

In rhinoplasty cases documented alongside facial fat grafting, volume can change not only in the nose but also in the surrounding face. This collection includes cases where hollow areas were addressed with autologous fat grafting while assessing overall facial and nasal proportions, as well as cases combining fat grafting with septal extension and nasal bridge correction.

Other case records include procedures related to the chin or midface in addition to fat grafting. Viewing these before-and-after photos solely as the result of rhinoplasty can lead to overlooking the broader scope of changes. It is helpful to distinguish current facial fat grafting from past nasal fat grafting, while checking the grafted areas and concurrent facial procedures specified in the text.

Key considerations when revising ear cartilage rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage

A case of a patient seeking a slimmer line after a previous rhinoplasty. Nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasal bridge implant replacement with lowering of the radix, nasal sill reduction, and full-face autologous fat grafting were performed together.

Why nasal tip skin thins after multiple surgeries: autologous dermis reinforcement and reconstruction methods

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.

How a fractured nasal bone alters the nose after trauma, and how reduction and reconstruction are performed

A case involving a traumatic nasal bone fracture and damage to the right cartilage. Closed reduction of the nasal bone and donor rib cartilage reconstruction were performed alongside procedures to improve facial balance.

Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and turns upward: reinforcement and reconstruction methods

For a patient presenting with visible nasal tip cartilage and an upturned nose following previous surgery with a silicone implant and ear cartilage, we performed silicone implant removal, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, fat grafting, and skin reinforcement with donor dermis.

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 Silitex implants show through and how to reconstruct after removal

Upturned nostrils and implant show-through following Silitex insertion were improved by completely removing the implant, elevating the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, replacing the bridge implant with silicone, and performing facial fat grafting.

Correction approach considering both a large nose and facial proportions

For a large nose with a dorsal hump and a drooping tip, harmony was achieved through lateral osteotomy, nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, nasal sill reduction, and autologous facial fat grafting.

Common questions before reading the cases

Does facial fat grafting mean the same thing as fat grafting to the nose?

This topic focuses on facial fat grafting documented to supplement hollow areas or overall facial volume. A history of past nasal fat grafting can be reviewed separately under the material topics. Rather than assuming the same surgical site merely because autologous fat was used, it is advisable to check the actual graft location and timing specified in the text.

How should I evaluate photos showing a smaller-looking nose or altered facial proportions?

One article explains that the perceived impression of the nose changed after performing both rhinoplasty and fat grafting for hollow areas. Other records also involve concurrent facial surgeries, meaning visible changes in photos may result from multiple procedures. Distinguishing changes in nasal height and line from volume changes in the surrounding face allows for a more detailed understanding of the overall before-and-after comparison.
