How to reconstruct a pinched and upturned nose using autologous rib cartilage

A case where an upturned nose, pinched alae, and a crooked nose resulting from multiple previous rhinoplasties were corrected with lateral osteotomy, septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, and dermal grafting.

How to reconstruct an old contracted nose using autologous rib cartilage

For a contracted nose deformity that developed long after silicone implant surgery, the implant capsule was removed and autologous rib cartilage was used to comprehensively reconstruct the septum, lower lateral cartilages, and nasal bridge.

How to correct a sharp nasal tip and cartilage show-through

To address a sharp nasal tip and cartilage show-through following previous surgeries, the existing ear cartilage was removed, and donor rib cartilage alongside acellular dermal graft was used to reinforce the cartilage framework and overlying skin.

Supportive structures in a contracted nose and revision rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage

For a contracted nose and a sharply upturned nasal tip that developed after multiple surgeries, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, removal of inflammatory tissue from the nasal tip, and nostril lowering were performed.

Supportive structures and correction methods for a short and low nose

A case of a 26-year-old male patient with a low, short nose, a dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, treated with partial septal reconstruction, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, and silicone implant placement.

How to plan foreign material removal and nasal reconstruction

We resolved the asymmetry and nasal deviation caused by foreign materials such as threads and filler, rebuilding a well-aligned contour using donor rib cartilage septal extension and silicone implant replacement.

The structure and correction methods for a bifid (cleft) nasal tip

For a patient with a bulbous, bifid nasal tip due to thin skin and prominent cartilage, we performed septal extension, partial removal of subcutaneous tissue, dermal graft reinforcement with ear cartilage grafting, and lateral osteotomy through a closed approach.

How to correct nasal obstruction and nostril asymmetry together

In a revision rhinoplasty case involving intranasal mucosal synechiae, a deviated septum, and nostril asymmetry, we removed the Gore-Tex implant, performed septal reconstruction and extension with autologous rib cartilage, along with alar rim extension and silicone implant replacement.

Rhinoplasty approach considering proportion and height for a small nose

This is a case of a male patient concerned with a small, short nose, a bulbous tip, and nasal obstruction. After checking the condition of the septal cartilage intraoperatively, autologous rib cartilage was used to shape the nasal tip, while a silicone implant and septal and inferior turbinate surgery were included in the surgical plan.

Removal of mesh inside the nose and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

This was a case involving a blunt nasal tip, a high starting point at the glabella, and mesh foreign material following a previous surgery. Four pieces of mesh were removed, and septal reconstruction and extension were performed using autologous rib cartilage.

Columellar retraction and contracted nose: Anatomy and reconstruction methods

A case of severe columellar retraction and septal cartilage damage following inflammation and implant removal, corrected with autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, deviated septum correction, and composite grafting.

Nasal structure and correction methods for a bulbous, widened nose

A case involving bridge pain, implant mobility, and a bulbous tip from a silicone implant placed 20 years ago. The previous implant and granulation tissue were removed, followed by septal extension using autologous rib cartilage and placement of a new implant.

How to correct the nasal tip and bridge in a sharp upturned nose

This is a case of previous surgery resulting in a deviated nasal bridge, an upturned nasal tip, nasolabial angle issues, and nasal obstruction. Using a closed approach with autologous rib cartilage, septal deviation correction, septal extension, and lateral osteotomy were performed.
