Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition

To correct a severe bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella, we performed anterior repositioning of the septal cartilage, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, partial removal of soft tissue, and repositioning of the lower lateral cartilages.

Medpor and foreign materials left inside the nose: Why they cause problems and how they are removed

Although the patient believed she had only undergone alar reduction in the past, Medpor and non-absorbable foreign materials were discovered during surgery and completely removed. The nasal bridge and tip were then reconstructed using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage and lateral osteotomy.

Why nostril asymmetry and an upturned nose occur together, and how rib cartilage reconstruction works

A case correcting nostril asymmetry, columellar deviation, and an upturned nose following a previous surgery using lateral osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage septal extension, alongside functional improvement.

Why a crooked nose and nasal obstruction remain even after nose filler, and how to correct them

A case correcting a crooked nose, asymmetry, and rhinitis symptoms from a deviated septum after nose filler, using filler removal, donor rib cartilage septal extension, and septoplasty.

How to address a widened nose and nasal obstruction left by multiple filler injections

A case where a widened nasal bridge, upturned nasal tip, and deviated septum resulting from repeated filler procedures were improved together through filler removal, donor rib cartilage septal extension, and septoplasty.

Why bulbous and flared tips persist after revision rhinoplasty: How reconstruction is performed using autologous rib cartilage

To restore septal support weakened by prior surgery and address a bulbous, flared nasal tip, we performed septal reconstruction and septal extension using autologous rib cartilage.

Why a dorsal hump often accompanies nasal deviation and nostril asymmetry, and how septal cartilage correction is performed

A case in which septal extension using septal cartilage and lateral osteotomy were performed to achieve a natural change, correcting a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry together.

Why nostril asymmetry and stenosis occur, and how rib cartilage reconstruction and Z-plasty are performed

For nostril asymmetry and stenosis following alar and philtrum reduction, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage, Z-plasty, and dermal grafting were performed.

Dorsal hump and crooked nose worsened after trauma: A correction method with minimal change

A case in which septal extension using donor rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and inferior turbinate rhinitis surgery were performed for a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction that worsened after trauma.

Why nostril stenosis develops after alar reduction and philtrum reduction, and how to reconstruct it

To address left nostril stenosis and cartilage damage after alar reduction, septal and alar reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed alongside an intranasal rotational flap.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a blunt, spread nasal tip occurs, and how to create a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage septal extension

With no functional abnormalities present, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension and tip cartilage repositioning to correct a spread nasal tip and the appearance of a protruding mouth, creating a straight bridge line.

Why the septum is damaged and rhinitis recurs after double jaw surgery

We reconstructed the septum damaged by double jaw surgery using autologous rib cartilage, and combined rhinitis surgery, right alar reduction, and lateral osteotomy to create a straight bridge line.

What to look for when nasal bone asymmetry and a drooping tip coincide with chronic rhinitis

Nasal bone asymmetry, chronic rhinitis, and a drooping nasal tip were corrected through lateral osteotomy, septal reconstruction using donor rib cartilage, and adjustment of the silicone implant.

Why Medpor extrudes through the nasal mucosa, and how removal and reconstruction are performed

The extruded Medpor and damaged tissue protruding into the nasal cavity were removed, and the septum along with the missing lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to treat asymmetry and inflammation.

Structure and correction methods for a short and upturned nose

This case involved a small, upturned nasal tip, excessive nostril show, and rhinitis. Using partially calcified autologous rib cartilage, we performed septal extension, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates, and nasolabial angle correction.

Planning implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage in patients with allergic tendencies

This is a revision rhinoplasty case where autologous rib cartilage was chosen instead of a silicone implant due to the patient's allergic constitution and concerns about inflammation. Drooping tip and a crooked nose were corrected through septal extension, bridge augmentation, and cartilage repositioning.
