Why the nasal tip looks spread out and how to address the nasal sill and nasolabial angle together — Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks spread out and how to address the nasal sill and nasolabial angle together

For a wide nasal tip and nasal sill, residual filler, and a deviated septum, we removed the filler and performed donor rib cartilage tip correction, nasal sill reduction, nasolabial angle correction, septoplasty, and rhinitis surgery.

Reasons for a high radix and upturned nasal tip and correction methods

For a high radix, upturned nasal tip, and columellar and nostril asymmetry from a previous surgery, the implant was replaced, tip derotation was performed using autologous rib cartilage, and lower lateral cartilage correction was carried out.

Bulbous, drooping nasal tip and an obtuse nasolabial angle: causes and correction methods

For a drooping, bulbous nasal tip, asymmetric nasal bridge, deviated septum, and rhinitis symptoms, we performed nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle adjustment, silicone implant replacement, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate reduction.

Why cartilage extrudes through the nasal mucosa and methods for restoration and reconstruction

Cartilage protruding through the nasal mucosa was removed and the area restored with perichondrium, damaged lower lateral cartilage and a drooping tip were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the implant was replaced with customized silicone.

Why a wide tip often comes with nasal obstruction, and how foreign material removal and reconstruction are performed

For nasal obstruction caused by nasal bridge filler, a bulbous nose, a deviated septum, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy, foreign material was removed, followed by nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty, and turbinoplasty.

When tip skin is lacking after alar and philtrum reduction, how to determine the elevation limit

In a patient with limited skin elasticity and mucosal adhesion following multiple nasal surgeries along with alar and philtrum reductions, we performed septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle correction, columellar extension, and nasal synechia adhesiolysis.

Before-and-after comparison

Why artificial dermis on the nasal bridge can remain as a dorsal hump and how it is reconstructed after removal

In a case where residual artificial dermis from a previous procedure formed a dorsal hump and weakened the septal support, the artificial dermis was dissected and removed, lateral osteotomy and dorsal hump reduction were performed, the nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the silicone implant was replaced.

A nose with almost no septal cartilage left: why the nasal tip cannot be elevated

A case where the septal support was largely lost from previous surgeries, resulting in nostril asymmetry. The central support was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal tip was elevated with dermis and cartilage grafts.

Before-and-after comparison

How rib cartilage reconstruction is done when the septum is damaged after multiple surgeries

A case where a septal defect and filler-induced deformity were identified after five prior surgeries. Following filler removal, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal tip was reinforced using existing deep temporal fascia.

Why a bulbous, drooping nose makes the midface look long, and reconstruction methods using calcified rib cartilage

A case involving an implant from 17 years ago, residual filler, and a long, drooping nasal tip. Calcified autologous rib cartilage was harvested to correct the nasolabial angle and lower the radix starting point.

How a fractured nasal bone alters the nose after trauma, and how reduction and reconstruction are performed

A case involving a traumatic nasal bone fracture and damage to the right cartilage. Closed reduction of the nasal bone and donor rib cartilage reconstruction were performed alongside procedures to improve facial balance.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks wide and bulbous, and how to correct it with septal cartilage and ear cartilage

A case of a wide, bulbous nasal tip and asymmetry with no prior surgical history. Autologous septal and ear cartilage were used to construct a support strut, and septal and turbinate surgery were performed concurrently.

Why an autologous dermal graft absorbs, leading to a widened bridge and upturned nose, and how to correct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an autologous dermal graft absorbs, leading to a widened bridge and upturned nose, and how to correct it

A case of an upturned nose and widened bridge caused by dermal graft absorption. After removing nasal filler placed 2 years ago, a straight bridge line was established through septal extension, alar rim lowering, and correction of the depressed dorsum.

Why the nasal tip droops and spreads when smiling after rhinoplasty: foreign material removal and tip correction methods

A case of nasal tip drooping, a pinched look, and tip spreading after nasal filler injection and silicone rhinoplasty 7 years ago. Foreign materials and the silicone implant were removed, and the nasolabial angle was corrected while reinforcing tip support.

Why short, upturned noses and crooked noses occur together, and how to correct them with septal extension

A short, upturned, crooked nose following an L-shaped silicone implant was lowered using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, and the airway was improved through nasal valve reconstruction and septal correction.

Foreign materials from illegal procedures in the nasal bridge: how to perform removal and total septal reconstruction

We removed foreign materials from illegal injections in the nasal bridge, completely reconstructed the cartilage-depleted septum using autologous rib cartilage, and performed dermal grafting on the thinned skin.

Why the nose looks long and the columella deviates: how septal extension and reconstruction are performed

To improve an elongated-looking nose, nostril asymmetry, and a deviated columella, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septal reconstruction, and alar base width correction together.

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nostril show increases years after rhinoplasty: Medpor removal and autologous dermis reconstruction

To resolve an upturned nose and nostril asymmetry resulting from surgery performed 13 years ago, adhered Medpor was carefully dissected and removed, and the septum was reconstructed using autologous dermis.
