Why implants show through and nostrils look M-shaped, and how to reconstruct them

Implant show-through at the nasal tip and thinned skin were reinforced with donor dermis, and foreign substances were removed. The nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, along with dragon nose correction and lateral osteotomy.

Why contracture remains in multiply operated noses: Reconstructing the columella and support framework

Contracture and septal defect resulting from repeated surgeries were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage. For the retracted columella, retroauricular free skin flap grafting and perichondrium grafting were performed to restore its shape.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks short and the columella retracts after revision rhinoplasty, and how to reconstruct the septum

To correct septal cartilage loss from 3 prior surgeries, a short nose appearance, and a bulbous tip, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and the radix was lowered.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a dorsal hump looks prominent and how to correct it along with the nasal tip

Previously injected nasal filler was removed, the protruding dorsal hump was rasped, and lateral osteotomies were performed. The blunt nasal tip was elevated using autologous rib cartilage, and both the nasolabial angle and septum were corrected.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nostrils become asymmetrical and the nose looks crooked, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

Nostril asymmetry caused by a tilted columellar axis and loss of alar cartilage after Gore-Tex insertion was corrected through Gore-Tex removal, autologous rib cartilage alar reconstruction, and septoplasty.

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.

Why the nasal tip can remain upturned after revision rhinoplasty, and when donor rib cartilage is used — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip can remain upturned after revision rhinoplasty, and when donor rib cartilage is used

An upturned and deviated nose, accompanied by hesitation toward autologous rib cartilage due to past pneumothorax, was improved without implants using donor rib cartilage, recycled previous rib cartilage, nasal bone rasping, and nasolabial angle correction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose can look short and upturned after repeated surgeries, and how rib cartilage tip extension works

Through a closed approach, a nose that became low, upturned, and showed excessive nostril exposure after silicone implant removal was refined using autologous rib cartilage tip extension, nasal bridge height restoration, and correction of the nasolabial angle to 90 degrees.

Before-and-after comparison

Why an upturned tip makes the mouth look more protruding and how to correct it

A bulbous, upturned nasal tip, the appearance of a protruding mouth, and nasal obstruction were addressed by removing columellar filler, reinforcing the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, placing a customized silicone implant, adjusting the nasolabial angle, and correcting a deviated septum.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose looks bulbous or pug-like, and how to refine both the nasal tip cartilage and nasal bones together

A blunt, pug-like nose, retracted columella, and wide nasal bridge were transformed into a slim, three-dimensional profile using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, columellar lowering, lateral osteotomy, and cartilage reduction with suturing.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nostril asymmetry worsens with repeated revisions, and how to correct the columella

After 6 previous surgeries, a drooping and tilted columella, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry were stabilized through a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage reinforcement, lateral osteotomy, and columellar alignment correction.

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 dorsal hump, long nose, and drooping tip appear together and how to correct them

A protruding dorsal hump, drooping long nose, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction were addressed together using autologous rib cartilage tip support, lateral osteotomy, septoplasty for a deviated septum, and inferior turbinate surgery.

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 nasal tip skin thins after multiple surgeries: autologous dermis reinforcement and reconstruction methods

We removed previous foreign materials and implants, reconstructed the nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage, reinforced the thinned skin with autologous dermis, recarved a silicone implant, and performed fat grafting between the eyebrows.

Why bulbous tip returns after tip surgery with ear cartilage and reconstruction methods

Persistent bulbous tip and upturned nasal tip after surgery with ear cartilage were addressed with autologous rib cartilage septal extension, partial scar tissue excision, cartilage repositioning, and a silicone implant.

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 a crooked nose and dorsal hump appear together, and how to approach male rhinoplasty

In a male patient in his early 20s presenting with a crooked nose, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, osteotomy, tip rhinoplasty using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, and columellar correction were performed.
