Why the nose looks long due to a drooping tip after rhinoplasty, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks long due to a drooping tip after rhinoplasty, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why silicone implants deviate and make the nose look long: implant replacement and rib cartilage reconstruction

Silicone implant deviation, excessive nostril show, and a high radix were corrected by removing the previous implant, reconstructing the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, placing a customized implant, and adjusting the nasolabial angle.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nostrils look severely uneven on both sides: cartilage reconstruction and skin graft correction

Congenital asymmetry, along with a residual crooked nose and nostril asymmetry from a previous rhinoplasty, was stabilized using lower lateral cartilage reconstruction, internal nostril skin grafting (free composite graft), and septal reconstruction.

Why nasal obstruction worsens after rhinoplasty: How septal reconstruction and osteotomy reversal are performed

Nostril asymmetry, over-osteotomy, and a collapsed septum resulting from prior alar reduction were corrected using a skin graft, osteotomy reversal, septal reinforcement with autologous rib cartilage, and rhinitis surgery.

Why nasal tip support weakens in an aged implant nose and septal extension reconstruction methods — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal tip support weakens in an aged implant nose and septal extension reconstruction methods

To reinforce nasal tip support weakened after a previous silicone and ear cartilage surgery, the silicone implant was customized and replaced, and a stable nasal line was established using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage.

What sets the limit when you want a higher nasal bridge: 3D custom implant and autologous rib cartilage tip support — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

What sets the limit when you want a higher nasal bridge: 3D custom implant and autologous rib cartilage tip support

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.

Why Medpor causes loss of the anterior septum: removal and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor causes loss of the anterior septum: removal and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

In a nose where the anterior septum was severely damaged by Medpor, foreign materials were removed, and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, nasal sill reduction, and functional nasal surgery were performed.

Why a septum collapsing to one side causes a crooked nose and blocked breathing, and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a septum collapsing to one side causes a crooked nose and blocked breathing, and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage

After two prior surgeries, a septum collapsed to the right, a depressed alar wing, and a mucosal defect were corrected through autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, perichondrium grafting, and re-carving of the silicone implant.

Why the nasal tip appears upturned and the columella looks short after rhinoplasty: methods for lowering the columella and correcting the bridge line

An upturned nasal tip, a short columella, and an unnatural silicone bridge line from previous rhinoplasty were improved using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, custom-carved silicone implant replacement, and nasolabial angle correction.

Contracture causing the nose to harden and shorten after previous surgery: why it occurs and how it is reconstructed

For capsular contracture, septal damage, and asymmetric nasal bones following previous surgery, the implant and capsule were removed, and septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and nasal bridge augmentation with autologous rib cartilage were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Reasons for a high radix and upturned nasal tip and correction methods

For a high radix, upturned nasal tip, and columellar and nostril asymmetry from a previous surgery, the implant was replaced, tip derotation was performed using autologous rib cartilage, and lower lateral cartilage correction was carried out.

Bulbous, drooping nasal tip and an obtuse nasolabial angle: causes and correction methods

For a drooping, bulbous nasal tip, asymmetric nasal bridge, deviated septum, and rhinitis symptoms, we performed nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle adjustment, silicone implant replacement, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate reduction.

Why cartilage extrudes through the nasal mucosa and methods for restoration and reconstruction

Cartilage protruding through the nasal mucosa was removed and the area restored with perichondrium, damaged lower lateral cartilage and a drooping tip were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the implant was replaced with customized silicone.

Before-and-after comparison

Why artificial dermis on the nasal bridge can remain as a dorsal hump and how it is reconstructed after removal

In a case where residual artificial dermis from a previous procedure formed a dorsal hump and weakened the septal support, the artificial dermis was dissected and removed, lateral osteotomy and dorsal hump reduction were performed, the nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the silicone implant was replaced.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a bulbous, drooping nose makes the midface look long, and reconstruction methods using calcified rib cartilage

A case involving an implant from 17 years ago, residual filler, and a long, drooping nasal tip. Calcified autologous rib cartilage was harvested to correct the nasolabial angle and lower the radix starting point.

Why nasal tip skin thins and cartilage shows through, and how skin reinforcement is done

A case of skin thinning, cartilage show-through, and an upturned nose following contracted nose surgery. The skin was reinforced with dermis and autologous rib perichondrium, along with septal extension.

Why the columella droops and nostrils become visible: correcting a crooked nose and nostril asymmetry

A case of a drooping columella, crooked nose, and nostril show following prior filler, Misko, and silicone rhinoplasty. Autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and alar rim grafts were performed after implant removal.

Why the nasal tip droops and spreads when smiling after rhinoplasty: foreign material removal and tip correction methods

A case of nasal tip drooping, a pinched look, and tip spreading after nasal filler injection and silicone rhinoplasty 7 years ago. Foreign materials and the silicone implant were removed, and the nasolabial angle was corrected while reinforcing tip support.
