Short and upturned nose with insufficient septal cartilage: how to lengthen it with rib cartilage reinforcement

A short, upturned nose caused by septal cartilage deficiency from a previous surgery was corrected with septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, combined with chin filler removal and receding chin correction.

Why Medpor in the nose causes nasal obstruction, and how Medpor removal and septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage are performed

A septum weakened by Medpor inserted 10 years ago was completely removed and reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, performed concurrently with septoplasty and inferior turbinate surgery.

Why the septum collapses after multiple revision rhinoplasties, and how total reconstruction is performed with autologous rib cartilage

Cartilage penetrating the mucosa and a septal perforation after multiple surgeries were corrected through total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and repair of the perforation using ear perichondrium.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the glabella widens and the nasal tip upturns after repeated filler and thread treatments

Foreign materials that had widened the glabella along with the previous implant were removed, and the upturned nose was corrected through partial septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle adjustment.

Before-and-after comparison

Why inflammation recurs after rhinoplasty and how to reconstruct using only autologous tissue

Persistent tip inflammation, deviation, and nasal symptoms following repeated surgeries were resolved by removing previous foreign materials and performing septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage alongside functional nasal surgery.

Why nostrils look different when tilting the head up and cause nasal obstruction: septal reconstruction

To correct nostril asymmetry, a short nose, and nasal obstruction that developed after previous implant-free rhinoplasty and alar rim lowering, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and functional nasal surgery were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip spreads wide and the nose appears crooked, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For a crooked nose with a wide, bulbous tip and a drooping tip deformity, autologous rib cartilage nasal structural reconstruction was performed alongside nasolabial angle correction and functional rhinitis surgery.

Why clicking sounds and shape changes occur in the nasal tip after trauma, and reconstruction with rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why clicking sounds and shape changes occur in the nasal tip after trauma, and reconstruction with rib cartilage

For a patient who experienced nasal tip deformity and asymmetry of the nasal bone and nostrils following everyday trauma, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and lateral osteotomy were performed to establish a stable structure.

Before-and-after comparison

How to perform reconstruction when multiple revision surgeries leave no nasal cartilage behind

This is a case where the septum was damaged and both lower lateral cartilages were removed following multiple rhinoplasties. The support structure was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, concurrently correcting the upturned nose, deviated columella, and nasolabial angle.

Before-and-after comparison

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed

For an overly high "Pinocchio-like" deviated nose with septal damage, the silicone implant was removed, and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, radix adjustment, and nasal sill reduction were performed.

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed

This is a case where the nasal bones, septum, and keystone area were damaged after repeated surgeries, causing nasal obstruction due to nasal valve stenosis. Autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the nasal support structure and nasal valve, while correcting bridge depression and asymmetry.

Why cartilage shows through after multiple rhinoplasties and how to restore the mucosa and structure

A case where autologous rib cartilage was used to reinforce soft tissue, reconstruct nasal structure, and perform functional surgery to improve mucosal thinning, lateral cartilage show-through, and nostril asymmetry resulting from repeated surgeries.

Why an old silicone implant capsule calcifies and causes a dorsal hump and crooked nose

A case of complete reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage after removing an L-shaped silicone implant and its calcified capsule inserted 30 years ago, which had caused a dorsal hump and a crooked nose.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a low nasal bridge and bulbous tip persist after multiple surgeries: rib cartilage reconstruction and facial balance

A case where a previously placed dermal graft was removed, followed by autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, paranasal augmentation, and chin implant surgery to address a persistent low nasal bridge, bulbous tip, and protruding mouth.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip shows through after dermal graft surgery and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage

A case where donor dermis previously placed on the nasal dorsum caused tip show-through and made the midface appear elongated; all donor dermis was completely removed, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction was performed, and stem cell therapy was combined.

An uneven nasal bridge after a dermal graft: causes and implant-free reconstruction

A case where a previously placed dermal graft had caused an uneven nasal bridge, alongside an unresolved bulbous nose and nostril asymmetry, which were corrected by completely removing the existing dermis and performing a comprehensive reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage.
