Why the nasal tip looks spread out and lacks dimension, and how bulbous nose correction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal tip looks spread out and lacks dimension, and how bulbous nose correction is performed

To improve a wide nasal bridge, a blunt nasal tip, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction, partial removal of subcutaneous tissue, lower lateral cartilage repositioning, cartilage suturing, and nasal tip height adjustment were performed in stages.

Performed or used in this surgery

Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and irregular dorsum occur: implant removal and reconstruction methods

We removed the premaxillary ("cat") implant and irregularly placed ear cartilage from previous surgeries, then refined the crooked nose and radix line using a dermal graft, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.

Why bulbous nose, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction occur together, and how straight bridge line correction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous nose, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction occur together, and how straight bridge line correction is performed

A case where a blunt, wide nasal tip, a columella tilted to the right, and nasal obstruction were refined into a natural straight bridge line through bulbous tip correction, nasolabial angle improvement, and septoplasty.

Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition

To correct a severe bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella, we performed anterior repositioning of the septal cartilage, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, partial removal of soft tissue, and repositioning of the lower lateral cartilages.

Why nostril asymmetry and an upturned nose occur together, and how rib cartilage reconstruction works — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostril asymmetry and an upturned nose occur together, and how rib cartilage reconstruction works

A case correcting nostril asymmetry, columellar deviation, and an upturned nose following a previous surgery using lateral osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage septal extension, alongside functional improvement.

When a silicone implant is about to push through the nasal tip skin: why it happens and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

When a silicone implant is about to push through the nasal tip skin: why it happens and how to reconstruct it

In an urgent condition where the silicone implant was on the verge of extruding just beneath the nasal tip skin, the implant was removed, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and dermal graft reinforcement was performed.

Performed or used in this surgery

Why a previously operated nose can look crooked and develop a drooping tip — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a previously operated nose can look crooked and develop a drooping tip

To address a crooked nose, a drooping tip, and residual nasal filler, we removed the previous filler and performed lateral osteotomy and nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage.

Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous and flared tips persist after revision rhinoplasty: How reconstruction is performed using autologous rib cartilage

To restore septal support weakened by prior surgery and address a bulbous, flared nasal tip, we performed septal reconstruction and septal extension using autologous rib cartilage.

Before-and-after comparison

Dorsal hump and crooked nose worsened after trauma: A correction method with minimal change

A case in which septal extension using donor rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and inferior turbinate rhinitis surgery were performed for a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction that worsened after trauma.

Why nostril stenosis develops after alar reduction and philtrum reduction, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostril stenosis develops after alar reduction and philtrum reduction, and how to reconstruct it

To address left nostril stenosis and cartilage damage after alar reduction, septal and alar reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed alongside an intranasal rotational flap.

Why a blunt, spread nasal tip occurs, and how to create a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage septal extension — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a blunt, spread nasal tip occurs, and how to create a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage septal extension

With no functional abnormalities present, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension and tip cartilage repositioning to correct a spread nasal tip and the appearance of a protruding mouth, creating a straight bridge line.

Performed or used in this surgery

Why an old silicone implant shows through at the nasal tip, and methods for removal and reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an old silicone implant shows through at the nasal tip, and methods for removal and reconstruction

Implant show-through at the nasal tip and chronic rhinitis symptoms following an old silicone implant placement were addressed through implant removal, reconstruction of the septum and nasal tip cartilage, and rhinitis surgery.

Performed or used in this surgery

Why Silitex implants show through and how to reconstruct after removal — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why Silitex implants show through and how to reconstruct after removal

Upturned nostrils and implant show-through following Silitex insertion were improved by completely removing the implant, elevating the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, replacing the bridge implant with silicone, and performing facial fat grafting.

Performed or used in this surgery

Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor extrudes through the nasal mucosa, and how removal and reconstruction are performed

The extruded Medpor and damaged tissue protruding into the nasal cavity were removed, and the septum along with the missing lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to treat asymmetry and inflammation.

Why nostrils become visible and nasal bridge volume is lost after multiple surgeries

A case of nasal reconstruction using recycled autologous rib cartilage combined with donor rib cartilage and skin grafts to correct an upturned nasal deformity and asymmetry caused by repeated surgeries.

Nostril stenosis narrowing the nostrils after previous surgery: causes and reconstruction methods

A case of nostril stenosis and an upturned nose following previous surgeries, reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage instead of a silicone implant, along with skin grafting and lower lateral cartilage reconstruction.
