Why an L-shaped silicone implant can nearly perforate the columellar mucosa: removal and reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison

Why an L-shaped silicone implant can nearly perforate the columellar mucosa: removal and reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage

We removed an L-shaped silicone implant that was at imminent risk of perforating the left columellar mucosa, then reconstructed the contracted nose using autologous rib cartilage for septal extension and autologous dermis for tip reinforcement.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and nasal obstruction persist after surgery, and how revision is performed

Residual crooked nose and rhinitis-induced nasal obstruction following previous surgery were corrected through partial septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, lateral osteotomy, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

Why the glabella widens and the nasal tip upturns after repeated filler and thread treatments

Foreign materials that had widened the glabella along with the previous implant were removed, and the upturned nose was corrected through partial septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle adjustment.

Why inflammation recurs after rhinoplasty and how to reconstruct using only autologous tissue — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why inflammation recurs after rhinoplasty and how to reconstruct using only autologous tissue

Persistent tip inflammation, deviation, and nasal symptoms following repeated surgeries were resolved by removing previous foreign materials and performing septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage alongside functional nasal surgery.

Why the nose looks wide and the tip droops after double jaw surgery, and how to reconstruct it with rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks wide and the tip droops after double jaw surgery, and how to reconstruct it with rib cartilage

After double jaw surgery and rhinoplasty, a wide-looking nose and drooping tip were improved by removing the previous materials, reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, and performing nasal sill reduction.

Scar tissue and nostril asymmetry after nasal fracture and repeated revision surgeries: reconstructive approaches

Following trauma and revision surgery, the patient presented with concerns over silicone implant complications, nostril asymmetry, and scar adhesions. After removing the implant, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and septoplasty were performed.

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed

For an overly high "Pinocchio-like" deviated nose with septal damage, the silicone implant was removed, and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, radix adjustment, and nasal sill reduction were performed.

Why an old silicone implant capsule calcifies and causes a dorsal hump and crooked nose — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an old silicone implant capsule calcifies and causes a dorsal hump and crooked nose

A case of complete reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage after removing an L-shaped silicone implant and its calcified capsule inserted 30 years ago, which had caused a dorsal hump and a crooked nose.

Before-and-after comparison

Changes that occur when inflammation persists after rhinoplasty and reconstruction methods

To resolve chronic inflammation, an upturned nose, and redness of the nasal bridge that persisted after previous surgeries, artificial materials were removed, and structural reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed along with nasal valve surgery.

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it

We removed an old paranasal implant that had migrated into the nasal cavity and obstructed breathing, and completely reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, improving both breathing function and nasal appearance.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks crooked and the columella tilts to one side, and how to correct it

A mobile silicone implant, a tilted columella, and a crooked nasal bridge were corrected through the removal of the existing implant and foreign material, lateral osteotomy, and septal reinforcement using autologous rib cartilage.

Why the nasal tip gets pinched and the columella retracts: how Medpor removal and reconstruction are performed

A case correcting a pinched nose caused by Medpor discovered after three surgeries and cartilage defects, through foreign material removal and full reconstruction of the alar cartilages and septum using autologous rib cartilage.

Why long-standing contracted noses and crooked noses occur together, and how reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why long-standing contracted noses and crooked noses occur together, and how reconstruction is performed

A case correcting a contracted nose, crooked nose, and pinched nostrils that developed after repeated surgeries, using silicone implant and scar tissue removal, nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, alar reconstruction with ear cartilage, and dermal grafting.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks bulbous and long after alar reduction, and how to correct it

A case where a bulbous nasal tip, drooping arrow nose, and weakened septum—occurring after alar reduction and implant surgery 12 years prior—were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasal shortening, and septoplasty.

Why replacing a cartilage nasal tip with an L-shaped silicone implant causes problems

A case where a previously replaced L-shaped silicone implant was removed, the nasal tip was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal bridge was replaced with an I-shaped implant to correct an upturned nose and a tilted columella.

Why nasal bridge and tip show-through happens after old silicone rhinoplasty: dermal reinforcement and rib cartilage reconstruction

To resolve show-through of an L-shaped silicone implant and cartilage beneath thinned skin, we removed the previous silicone implant, reinforced the skin with dermis, adjusted the tip height, reconstructed the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, and replaced the implant with a new one.

Why a crooked nose and irregular dorsum occur: implant removal and reconstruction methods

We removed the premaxillary ("cat") implant and irregularly placed ear cartilage from previous surgeries, then refined the crooked nose and radix line using a dermal graft, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.
