Why the nose looks deviated to one side and feels blocked at night: septal reconstruction and nasal obstruction relief

A case of autologous rib cartilage reconstruction combined with septal and inferior turbinate surgery to address a left-deviated nose, long nose, bulbous tip, severe facial asymmetry, and nasal obstruction.

Why the nose keeps deviating after multiple surgeries and methods for septal cartilage reconstruction

To resolve persistent septal damage, nasal deviation, and nostril asymmetry following repeated surgeries, the central support pillar was entirely reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.

Slight lack of height and subtle asymmetry remaining after rhinoplasty: Why they occur and how they are refined

After a stable primary surgery, reinforcement using autologous rib cartilage, septal reconstruction, and nasolabial angle correction were performed to add height and correct subtle bilateral asymmetry.

Septal perforation and nasal tip cartilage show-through after repeated rhinoplasties: how reconstruction is performed

A case where autologous rib cartilage was used for full septal reconstruction alongside dermis grafting to address repeated surgical history, septal perforation, and thinned nasal tip skin.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and a drooping tip occur together: How septal reconstruction and rhinitis surgery are performed

Following previous rhinoplasty, poor septal support led to a crooked nose, a drooping tip, and excessive nostril show. These concerns were addressed through septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and tip support correction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it

We removed an old paranasal implant that had migrated into the nasal cavity and obstructed breathing, and completely reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, improving both breathing function and nasal appearance.

Before-and-after comparison

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why donor dermis absorbs after multiple revision surgeries and how to reconstruct the septum

For a patient who experienced partial absorption of donor dermis on the nasal bridge and septal damage after multiple revision surgeries, the donor dermis was removed, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the skin was reinforced with retroauricular dermis.

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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.

Why the nose looks crooked and the columella tilts to one side, and how to correct it

A mobile silicone implant, a tilted columella, and a crooked nasal bridge were corrected through the removal of the existing implant and foreign material, lateral osteotomy, and septal reinforcement using autologous rib cartilage.

Why nostrils narrow after illegal injections by unlicensed practitioners, and methods for removal and reconstruction

In a patient who developed nostril stenosis and a drooping tip from illegal injections administered by an unlicensed practitioner 20 years ago, we removed the foreign material and reconstructed the septum and lower lateral cartilage using autologous rib cartilage to improve the nasal shape.

Why the nasal tip gets pinched and the columella retracts: how Medpor removal and reconstruction are performed

A case correcting a pinched nose caused by Medpor discovered after three surgeries and cartilage defects, through foreign material removal and full reconstruction of the alar cartilages and septum using autologous rib cartilage.

Why the nose looks bulbous and long after alar reduction, and how to correct it

A case where a bulbous nasal tip, drooping arrow nose, and weakened septum—occurring after alar reduction and implant surgery 12 years prior—were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasal shortening, and septoplasty.

How to reconstruct a nose with weakened septal cartilage without implants

A case where a septum weakened by excessive harvest was reinforced with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal structure was reconstructed without artificial implants using lateral osteotomy along with diced cartilage and dermis grafts.

Nasal bridge depression and nostril asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties: causes and reconstruction methods

A case where nasal bridge depression caused by skin necrosis and severe septal damage were improved with septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, cartilage and acellular dermal matrix grafts, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate.

Why the nose deviates and the nasal tip turns bulbous after two-jaw surgery, and how to create a dorsal hump line with autologous rib cartilage

A case where a septum damaged after two-jaw surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, combined with lateral osteotomy and columella lowering, improving a crooked nose and bulbous tip.

Chronic foreign body reaction causing a blunt, widened nasal bridge: causes and reconstruction methods

This is a revision rhinoplasty case in which a septum damaged from prior double jaw surgery and a chronic foreign body reaction in the nasal bridge were identified, followed by irrigation, capsule removal, and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage.
