Why dorsal humps and drooping tips appear together, and how hump reduction and osteotomy are performed

A dorsal hump and drooping tip were smoothly refined through a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, hump reduction, lateral osteotomy, and nasolabial angle correction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks bulbous and spread out, and how septal extension is performed

A bulbous, spread-out nasal tip and deviated septum were refined with autologous rib cartilage septal extension, nasolabial angle correction, a silicone implant on the nasal dorsum, and functional nasal surgery.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge deviates and the tip appears drooping: How to correct it using only cartilage without implants

For a patient who wanted primary rhinoplasty without artificial implants, lateral osteotomy was performed to straighten the deviated nasal bones, and donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage were used to reinforce the bridge and reshape the nasal tip.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal bone deviation and dorsal humps remain after rhinoplasty: lateral osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage correction methods

To correct the residual deviated nasal bone, dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction remaining after a previous silicone rhinoplasty, the existing implant was removed and lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage tip plasty, and septoplasty were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose looks low and wide: surgical technique starting from the nasal tip structure

To improve an inherently low and wide nose along with rhinitis symptoms, primary rhinoplasty was performed using donor rib cartilage for tip support, a customized silicone implant for the bridge, and septoplasty.

Why nasal filler cannot correct a drooping tip and dorsal hump, and the reconstruction method after removal — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal filler cannot correct a drooping tip and dorsal hump, and the reconstruction method after removal

To resolve a persistent drooping tip and dorsal hump deformity after filler and PDO thread lifting, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, a silicone implant on the nasal bridge, and septoplasty.

Why nasal obstruction persists despite multiple surgeries: Correcting nasal valve stenosis and nostril asymmetry

A case of persistent nostril asymmetry and nasal valve stenosis after multiple surgeries, addressed by removing existing implants, performing septoplasty and turbinoplasty, and reconstructing the structure with rib cartilage and a skin graft.

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.

Why the nasal bridge looks low and the tip looks bulbous: how to correct them alongside a retracted columella — Before-and-after comparison
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.

Why the nose looks long due to a drooping tip after rhinoplasty, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
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 a dorsal hump and a crooked nose often occur together, and correction methods using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a dorsal hump and a crooked nose often occur together, and correction methods using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage

For a male primary rhinoplasty patient with a bulbous, crooked nose with a dorsal hump, lateral osteotomy, cartilage tying, nasal tip plasty with autologous rib cartilage, and a customized silicone implant were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Why silicone implants deviate and make the nose look long: implant replacement and rib cartilage reconstruction

Silicone implant deviation, excessive nostril show, and a high radix were corrected by removing the previous implant, reconstructing the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, placing a customized implant, and adjusting the nasolabial angle.

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 a nose appears low and how to build height using autologous rib cartilage

For a male patient who had received repeated filler injections for a low nasal bridge, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage and the insertion of a customized silicone implant.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge looks wide and uneven, and how osteotomy and rib cartilage tip surgery are performed

Foreign material was removed from the nasal bridge, and lateral osteotomy, a custom-carved silicone implant, and donor rib cartilage were used to eliminate the dorsal step-off, creating a slim, straight bridge line.
