When undissolved nasal filler spreads and sinusitis coexists: how removal and correction are performed

Spread nasal filler, a dorsal hump, a long-looking nasal tip, and sinusitis symptoms were addressed together through filler removal, hump reduction, and septoplasty.

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.

Why the nasal bridge looks red after revision rhinoplasty and methods for reconstruction

Redness of the nasal bridge and a long nose that developed after two prior surgeries using autologous and donor rib cartilage were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, implant replacement, and nasal base correction.

How to replace absorbed donor rib cartilage with autologous rib cartilage

For a patient whose nose became crooked and drooped due to partial resorption of previously placed donor rib cartilage, we removed the absorbed cartilage and performed septal reconstruction and deviated septum correction using autologous rib cartilage.

How to plan nasal filler removal and nasal obstruction correction

This is a case of a patient who visited our clinic presenting with a blunt, widened nose and intermittent nasal obstruction after nasal filler treatment. Filler removal and nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage were performed, and functional surgery for the septum and inferior turbinates was planned.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for correcting both a long nose and asymmetry

A nasal tip that had become long and sharp from multiple surgeries, along with nostril asymmetry, was corrected using glabella bone rasping, autologous rib cartilage extension, and composite skin graft nostril lowering.

How to reconstruct with autologous rib cartilage after silicone implant side effects

In a revision rhinoplasty case presenting with tip redness, cartilage resorption from a silicone foreign body reaction, rhinitis, and a deviated septum, silicone implant exchange was performed in conjunction with septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and rhinitis surgery.

How to correct nasal obstruction and nostril asymmetry together

In a revision rhinoplasty case involving intranasal mucosal synechiae, a deviated septum, and nostril asymmetry, we removed the Gore-Tex implant, performed septal reconstruction and extension with autologous rib cartilage, along with alar rim extension and silicone implant replacement.

How to correct an upturned nose and overly curved bridge after repeated surgeries

In a nose with septal damage, an upturned nose, and a high radix after 5 surgeries, the filler and silicone implant were removed, followed by septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage and placement of a new silicone implant.

Removal of mesh inside the nose and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

This was a case involving a blunt nasal tip, a high starting point at the glabella, and mesh foreign material following a previous surgery. Four pieces of mesh were removed, and septal reconstruction and extension were performed using autologous rib cartilage.

How to remove mesh and reconstruct a contracted nose

In a patient presenting with post-inflammatory nasal contracture and nasal obstruction, unexpected mesh and residual donor rib cartilage found in the nasal tip were removed. The entire septum and both lower lateral cartilages were then reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.
