When looking into osteotomy or nasal bone correction, first check whether the procedure aims to narrow a wide nasal bridge or to address crooked bones and asymmetry from previous surgery. The records include cases where osteotomy was performed for dorsal hump reduction and reshaping the nasal profile, as well as cases where asymmetry after previous surgery was corrected with a new osteotomy while adjusting the width of the nasal bridge.
In revision cases where very little nasal bone remained, the records also describe repositioning the bones on both sides and filling the gap with autologous rib cartilage. Therefore, not all nasal bone procedures should be understood simply as narrowing or shaving down the bone. Reviewing the preoperative bone shape, the presence of bone defects, and the concurrent use of cartilage or implants helps you interpret the changes in the photos more accurately.

This is a case of septal cartilage deficit, nasal bone asymmetry, and nasal obstruction remaining after two surgeries. Through a closed approach, autologous rib cartilage was used for septal reconstruction, along with nasolabial angle correction, nasal bone asymmetry correction, and radix adjustment.
Performed or used in this surgery
This is a case of septal damage, a deviated nasal bridge, a bulbous nose, and nasal obstruction following double jaw surgery and two prior rhinoplasties. Autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, cartilage repositioning, lateral osteotomy, and functional nasal surgery were performed.
Performed or used in this surgery
Following prior surgeries, a bulbous and drooping long nose with an excessively high radix and nasal obstruction was corrected using a closed approach. Scar tissue debridement, osteotomy, nasolabial angle correction, and septoplasty were performed concurrently.
Performed or used in this surgery
A case of correcting a short, upturned nasal tip and a pinched nostril caused by congenital septal cartilage weakness. Autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the septum and lower lateral cartilage, combined with lowering the nostril rim and lateral osteotomy.
Performed or used in this surgery
A revision rhinoplasty case where the septum was depleted due to excessive cartilage use in prior surgeries. The septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, a cartilage fragment on the bridge was removed, and silicone implant replacement was combined with osteotomy.
Performed or used in this surgery
We extended the septum with autologous rib cartilage and corrected the nasolabial angle to improve an upturned nasal tip and a long philtrum. Lateral osteotomy, a custom silicone implant, and rhinitis surgery were performed concurrently.
Performed or used in this surgery
Residual facial asymmetry and a deviated septum following double jaw surgery were corrected using autologous rib cartilage reconstruction. Lateral osteotomy, precision carving of a silicone implant, and rhinitis surgery were performed concurrently.
Performed or used in this surgery
Septal cartilage damaged from previous surgeries was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the lower lateral cartilages were restored. Lateral osteotomy and rhinitis surgery were performed concurrently to correct the crooked nose and nostril asymmetry.
Performed or used in this surgery
Implant show-through at the nasal tip and thinned skin were reinforced with donor dermis, and foreign substances were removed. The nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, along with dragon nose correction and lateral osteotomy.
Performed or used in this surgery
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.
Performed or used in this surgery
A blunt, pug-like nose, retracted columella, and wide nasal bridge were transformed into a slim, three-dimensional profile using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, columellar lowering, lateral osteotomy, and cartilage reduction with suturing.
Performed or used in this surgery
After 6 previous surgeries, a drooping and tilted columella, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry were stabilized through a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage reinforcement, lateral osteotomy, and columellar alignment correction.
Performed or used 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.
Performed or used in this surgery
A protruding dorsal hump, drooping long nose, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction were addressed together using autologous rib cartilage tip support, lateral osteotomy, septoplasty for a deviated septum, and inferior turbinate surgery.
Performed or used in this surgery
A long nose, drooping nasal tip, crooked nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction remaining after prior functional surgery were corrected using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, partial septal reconstruction, and lateral osteotomy.
Performed or used in this surgery
In a male patient in his early 20s presenting with a crooked nose, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, osteotomy, tip rhinoplasty using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and columellar correction were performed.
Performed or used in this surgery
A dorsal hump and drooping tip were smoothly refined through a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, hump reduction, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.
Performed or used in this surgery
A drooping nasal tip and crooked dorsal hump caused by small lower lateral cartilages were refined through autologous rib cartilage support reinforcement, lateral osteotomy, a silicone implant, and nasolabial angle correction.

There are cases where osteotomy and bridge contouring were performed without adding an implant. Conversely, in revision cases with substantial nasal bone loss, the records show instances where the gap was filled with autologous rib cartilage and covered with a silicone implant. The decision to use an implant cannot be determined simply by the name of the procedure, osteotomy; one must consider the initial condition of the bone alongside what was actually performed.
There are cases where a new osteotomy addressed asymmetry from a previous surgery while adjusting the width and contour of the nasal bridge. You can also review separate records where bones were realigned and reinforced in cases with limited remaining bone. Because the condition of the remaining bone varies even under the same label of revision correction, comparing the preoperative evaluations is helpful.
