Why a multiply operated nose deviates and develops a widened tip, and how cartilage is reconstructed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a multiply operated nose deviates and develops a widened tip, and how cartilage is reconstructed

Following three prior procedures, a deviated nose caused by septal damage and a missing right lower lateral cartilage was restored through autologous rib cartilage structural reconstruction, silicone implant replacement, nasolabial angle correction, and rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge becomes uneven after rhinoplasty, and how septal reconstruction using rib cartilage is performed

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.

Why a nose operated on multiple times continues to appear upturned, and how septal reconstruction is performed

Following previous surgeries and double-jaw surgery, an upturned nasal tip and nostril asymmetry were precisely corrected using donor rib cartilage septal reconstruction, lower lateral cartilage restoration, and a composite dermis-fat graft to the soft triangle.

Why a nose appears long, drooping, and crooked: septal reconstruction and osteotomy

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.

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nasal obstruction occurs after multiple rhinoplasties: Autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

To resolve a damaged septum, an upturned nasal tip, and rhinitis-related nasal obstruction after multiple surgeries, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and inferior turbinate reduction were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip turns upward when the septum is lost, and how to reconstruct the septum with autologous rib cartilage

Septal support lost in previous surgeries was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and pinched alae and depressed nasal bridge areas were reinforced to correct an upturned nasal tip and nostril show.

Why a high radix makes the nose look artificial: septal reconstruction and radix correction methods

A deviated septum and an excessively high radix resulting from a previous surgery were precisely corrected using donor rib cartilage septal reconstruction, silicone implant replacement, osteotomy, and inferior turbinate reduction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the columella retracts and the alar rim looks pinched after rhinoplasty, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

In a patient presenting with columellar retraction and a pinched right alar rim following rhinoplasty with silicone and donor rib cartilage, the existing materials were removed and reconstruction of the septum and alar cartilage was performed using autologous rib cartilage.

Why a deviated septum causes both nasal obstruction and a crooked nose, and how reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a deviated septum causes both nasal obstruction and a crooked nose, and how reconstruction is performed

Nasal obstruction, a dorsal hump, and maxillary protrusion caused by a septum severely deviated to the left were addressed simultaneously through septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.

Why nasal obstruction persists after multiple surgeries: How to reconstruct the septum and nasal valve

For a patient whose septum had collapsed after repeated surgeries, causing internal nasal valve stenosis and inferior turbinate adhesions, we performed septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, osteotomy reversal, and adhesiolysis.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge looks low and the tip looks bulbous: how to correct them alongside a retracted columella

To improve the low, bulbous nasal tip and retracted columella in a patient with no previous surgical history, autologous rib cartilage was used to reinforce the septum, elevate the nasal bridge and nasal tip, and correct the nasolabial angle.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks long due to a drooping tip after rhinoplasty, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage

A case addressing a drooping, elongated nasal tip after silicone rhinoplasty and nasal filler procedures. The existing implant and residual filler were removed, the support structure was reinforced using autologous rib cartilage, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.

Why the nostrils look severely uneven on both sides: cartilage reconstruction and skin graft correction

Congenital asymmetry, along with a residual crooked nose and nostril asymmetry from a previous rhinoplasty, was stabilized using lower lateral cartilage reconstruction, internal nostril skin grafting (free composite graft), and septal reconstruction.

Why nasal obstruction worsens after rhinoplasty: How septal reconstruction and osteotomy reversal are performed

Nostril asymmetry, over-osteotomy, and a collapsed septum resulting from prior alar reduction were corrected using a skin graft, osteotomy reversal, septal reinforcement with autologous rib cartilage, and rhinitis surgery.

Why internal nasal structures collapse after multiple rhinoplasties and total reconstruction with rib cartilage

Following four prior rhinoplasties, septal and lower lateral cartilage defects and nasal bone erosion were addressed by treating a chronic foreign body reaction, performing total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, and placing a nostril skin graft.
