Rhinoplasty approach examining the structure of a bulbous nasal tip

In a patient presenting with a bulbous, drooping tip and symptoms of a deviated septum after previous rhinoplasty, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and turbinoplasty were performed via a closed approach.

How to simultaneously correct a dorsal hump and nasal tip shape

A bumpy nasal bridge, bulbous nose, and dorsal hump caused by residual filler from past injections were smoothly corrected using closed filler removal and septal extension with donor rib cartilage.

Surgical approach for an upturned and crooked nose

This is a case of correcting a crooked nasal bridge and an upturned nose after two prior surgeries. Using a closed approach, the existing silicone implant and foreign material were removed, the nasal bridge and nasal tip were reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and nostril lowering was performed simultaneously.

Reconstruction method for an upturned and crooked nose after repeated surgeries

Following multiple rhinoplasties, the patient presented with an upturned nasal tip, septal damage, protruding columellar cartilage, and nasal obstruction. Tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed through a closed approach.

Revision rhinoplasty for nostril asymmetry and a flared nose

Following a history of double-jaw surgery and rhinoplasty, the anterior nasal spine had been resected, resulting in nostril asymmetry and nasal obstruction. The septum and lower lateral cartilages were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, along with silicone implant exchange and nasal sill reduction.

Rhinoplasty method after foreign material (mesh and thread) removal

A case of a patient who presented with a crooked nasal bridge, dorsal hump, and high radix after previous surgery using mesh and threads. Through a closed approach, the foreign materials were removed, and lateral osteotomy along with autologous rib cartilage reconstruction of the nasal tip and bridge was performed.

How to correct a crooked nose and a bulbous, drooping nasal tip

A crooked nose with a drooping, bulbous tip and a high radix following multiple surgeries was corrected using autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and extension, radix lowering, and rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty approach for a long nose and high radix after repeated surgeries

A long nose, high radix, and columellar depression that developed after multiple prior surgeries were corrected by removing previous foreign material, reconstructing the septum with donor rib cartilage, and carving a silicone implant.

Correction methods for a bulbous, deviated, and upturned nose

A high radix, bulbous nose, deviated nose, and upturned nose were corrected via a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septoplasty, lowering of the radix, and nasolabial angle adjustment.

Bulbous nose correction and lowering the columella

To improve a retracted columella and a bulbous nose resulting from past alar reduction, filler on the nasal bridge was removed, and autologous rib cartilage was used for septal extension, lowering the columella, and nasolabial angle correction.

Rhinoplasty methods following foreign material removal

Through a closed approach, complex filler and thread foreign materials accumulated over a prolonged period were removed, and the nasal structure was corrected using autologous rib cartilage for tip reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and lowering the columella.

How to lower a high radix

In a patient presenting with an excessively high radix, a drooping tip, and nasal obstruction, a closed approach was used to lower the starting point, reconstruct the nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage, and perform septoplasty.

How to correct nasal obstruction and a wide, spread-out nose

This is a case where mucosal adhesion, septal deviation, and tip deformity were identified following previous surgeries. We planned support reinforcement using autologous rib cartilage along with functional surgery, and recorded the postoperative changes in columellar and nostril asymmetry.

How to lower the radix and columella together

This is a case of a patient who visited the clinic to improve a high radix and the shape of the nasal tip and columella. We planned to adjust both the radix and nasal tip, and documented the changes in the columellar line and nostril asymmetry after surgery.

No-implant revision rhinoplasty for an unnatural, operated-looking nose

In a nose where the implant was overly conspicuous and the radix was excessively high, the silicone implant was removed to transition to a no-implant approach, creating natural contouring along the nasal tip and columella.

Reconstruction methods for a nose contracted after multiple surgeries

In a severe contracted nose that developed after a history of 27 surgeries and fat graft procedures, the protruding silicone implant and degenerated tissue were removed, and the septum and structural support were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.

Key points to check in early revision rhinoplasty at 14 days post-op

This is a case of early revision rhinoplasty performed just 14 days after surgery, as deviation persisted despite a prior surgery and an attempted correction. The plan involved removing the implant and cartilage and using autologous rib cartilage, documenting changes in the radix, nasal dorsum, and nasal tip after surgery.

How to correct a bulbous, drooping long nose

This is a case of correcting a bulbous and drooping long nose caused by thick, broad tip skin. A portion of the subcutaneous tissue beneath the nasal tip skin was removed, and the nasal tip height, the starting point at the glabella, and the drooping columella shape were adjusted.
