Why Medpor in the nose causes nasal obstruction, and how Medpor removal and septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor in the nose causes nasal obstruction, and how Medpor removal and septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage are performed

A septum weakened by Medpor inserted 10 years ago was completely removed and reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, performed concurrently with septoplasty and inferior turbinate surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the septum collapses after multiple revision rhinoplasties, and how total reconstruction is performed with autologous rib cartilage

Cartilage penetrating the mucosa and a septal perforation after multiple surgeries were corrected through total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and repair of the perforation using ear perichondrium.

Why a crooked nose and nasal obstruction persist after surgery, and how revision is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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 L-strut thins after multiple nose surgeries and how to structurally reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the L-strut thins after multiple nose surgeries and how to structurally reconstruct it

The septal L-strut, thinned after three previous surgeries, was reinforced with autologous rib cartilage, and the crooked nose was reconstructed through lateral osteotomies and columellar lengthening.

Why the glabella widens and the nasal tip upturns after repeated filler and thread treatments — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the glabella widens and the nasal tip upturns after repeated filler and thread treatments

Foreign materials that had widened the glabella along with the previous implant were removed, and the upturned nose was corrected through partial septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle adjustment.

Why inflammation recurs after rhinoplasty and how to reconstruct using only autologous tissue — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why inflammation recurs after rhinoplasty and how to reconstruct using only autologous tissue

Persistent tip inflammation, deviation, and nasal symptoms following repeated surgeries were resolved by removing previous foreign materials and performing septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage alongside functional nasal surgery.

Why the nose looks wide and the tip droops after double jaw surgery, and how to reconstruct it with rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks wide and the tip droops after double jaw surgery, and how to reconstruct it with rib cartilage

After double jaw surgery and rhinoplasty, a wide-looking nose and drooping tip were improved by removing the previous materials, reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, and performing nasal sill reduction.

Why nostrils look different when tilting the head up and cause nasal obstruction: septal reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostrils look different when tilting the head up and cause nasal obstruction: septal reconstruction

To correct nostril asymmetry, a short nose, and nasal obstruction that developed after previous implant-free rhinoplasty and alar rim lowering, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and functional nasal surgery were performed.

Scar tissue and nostril asymmetry after nasal fracture and repeated revision surgeries: reconstructive approaches — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Scar tissue and nostril asymmetry after nasal fracture and repeated revision surgeries: reconstructive approaches

Following trauma and revision surgery, the patient presented with concerns over silicone implant complications, nostril asymmetry, and scar adhesions. After removing the implant, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and septoplasty were performed.

Performed or used in this surgery

Why nasal asymmetry remains after cleft lip and palate, and reconstruction using rib and ear cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal asymmetry remains after cleft lip and palate, and reconstruction using rib and ear cartilage

For cleft lip- and palate-related asymmetry and alar deformities, septal reconstruction and dorsal augmentation were performed using autologous rib cartilage, along with alar reconstruction using ear cartilage and lateral osteotomy.

Why infection recurs after rhinoplasty: treatment of inflammation and staged reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why infection recurs after rhinoplasty: treatment of inflammation and staged reconstruction

In a patient presenting with mucosal perforation and contracture deformity caused by implant infection, inflamed tissue was debrided and irrigated, followed by staged septal reconstruction.

How to perform reconstruction when multiple revision surgeries leave no nasal cartilage behind — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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 an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed

For an overly high "Pinocchio-like" deviated nose with septal damage, the silicone implant was removed, and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, radix adjustment, and nasal sill reduction were performed.

Performed or used in this surgery

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed

This is a case where the nasal bones, septum, and keystone area were damaged after repeated surgeries, causing nasal obstruction due to nasal valve stenosis. Autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the nasal support structure and nasal valve, while correcting bridge depression and asymmetry.

Why a nose with excessive septal cartilage harvest becomes upturned and blocked, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge sinks and one side becomes blocked after rhinoplasty osteotomy: Internal nasal valve reconstruction and restoration

A case where nasal bones, the nasal vault, and the septum were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to resolve collapsed nasal bones, nasal roof collapse, internal nasal valve stenosis, and pain caused by excessive osteotomy in a previous surgery.
