Why an autologous dermal graft absorbs, leading to a widened bridge and upturned nose, and how to correct it

A case of an upturned nose and widened bridge caused by dermal graft absorption. After removing nasal filler placed 2 years ago, a straight bridge line was established through septal extension, alar rim lowering, and correction of the depressed dorsum.

Why short, upturned noses and crooked noses occur together, and how to correct them with septal extension

A short, upturned, crooked nose following an L-shaped silicone implant was lowered using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, and the airway was improved through nasal valve reconstruction and septal correction.

Foreign materials from illegal procedures in the nasal bridge: how to perform removal and total septal reconstruction

We removed foreign materials from illegal injections in the nasal bridge, completely reconstructed the cartilage-depleted septum using autologous rib cartilage, and performed dermal grafting on the thinned skin.

Why a depressed nasal bone on one side makes the nose look crooked: Osteotomy reconstruction and septal reconstruction

A crooked nose and facial asymmetry caused by a depressed right nasal bone and deviated septum were corrected using osteotomy along with septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage.

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.

Why the nose looks long and the columella deviates: how septal extension and reconstruction are performed

To improve an elongated-looking nose, nostril asymmetry, and a deviated columella, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septal reconstruction, and alar base width correction together.

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nostril show increases years after rhinoplasty: Medpor removal and autologous dermis reconstruction

To resolve an upturned nose and nostril asymmetry resulting from surgery performed 13 years ago, adhered Medpor was carefully dissected and removed, and the septum was reconstructed using autologous dermis.

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.

Depression along the nasal bridge and an upturned feel after repeated implant insertions and removals

Correcting nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an overly high radix caused by repeated surgeries using autologous rib cartilage septal extension and height adjustment.

Why the radix starts too high and the nose looks crooked, and how to correct it with autologous rib cartilage

Following a previous implant surgery, issues with a high radix, crooked dorsum, and upturned tip were corrected using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.

How to perform reconstruction when multiple revision surgeries leave no nasal cartilage behind

This is a case where the septum was damaged and both lower lateral cartilages were removed following multiple rhinoplasties. The support structure was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, concurrently correcting the upturned nose, deviated columella, and nasolabial angle.

Why a nose with excessive septal cartilage harvest becomes upturned and blocked, and how to reconstruct it

A case where a septum weakened and deviated to the left from a previous surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage. Addressing both nasal obstruction and an upturned nose, the nasal tip was elongated, and the depressed nasal dorsum and nasolabial angle were corrected.

Problems caused by excessive harvest of septal cartilage and methods for reconstruction

In a patient whose septal cartilage had been excessively harvested during previous surgeries, leading to a shortened nasal tip and nostril asymmetry, the septum was solidly reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to restore nasal length.

Why the nasal bridge looks artificial and the nose becomes upturned, and how to reconstruct it

After surgery with a silicone implant and donor rib cartilage, a chalk-like nasal bridge and excessive nostril show occurred. A natural line was reconstructed through septal extension using autologous rib cartilage and alar rim lowering.

How the nose changes when donor rib cartilage is resorbed, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For a patient whose nasal tip had shrunk, whose alae appeared pinched, and whose nasal bridge developed scarring due to donor rib cartilage resorption, we performed alar reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, septal extension, and cartilage and dermal graft reinforcement.

How to refine only the nasal tip and transition area without an implant

To maintain the existing bridge line and address a crooked nose and dorsal hump without major changes, we performed implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and rhinitis surgery.

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella

For a drooping tip and retracted columella caused by septal cartilage damage following previous surgery with autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, the columella was restored, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.

Changes following nasal bridge skin necrosis after rhinoplasty and how reconstruction is performed

In a case with signs of nasal bridge skin necrosis and alar asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties, the nasal bridge and nostril shape were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage grafting, alar repositioning, and growth factor application.
