Why a crooked nose and a drooping tip occur together: How septal reconstruction and rhinitis surgery are performed

Following previous rhinoplasty, poor septal support led to a crooked nose, a drooping tip, and excessive nostril show. These concerns were addressed through septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and tip support correction.

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it

We removed an old paranasal implant that had migrated into the nasal cavity and obstructed breathing, and completely reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, improving both breathing function and nasal appearance.

Problems caused by excessive harvest of septal cartilage and methods for reconstruction

In a patient whose septal cartilage had been excessively harvested during previous surgeries, leading to a shortened nasal tip and nostril asymmetry, the septum was solidly reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to restore nasal length.

Why an arrow nose appears only when smiling and how to correct tip cartilage

To improve a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and drooping arrow nose when smiling, autologous rib cartilage was used to reposition the nasal tip, combined with lateral osteotomy, septoplasty, and rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why donor dermis absorbs after multiple revision surgeries and how to reconstruct the septum

For a patient who experienced partial absorption of donor dermis on the nasal bridge and septal damage after multiple revision surgeries, the donor dermis was removed, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the skin was reinforced with retroauricular dermis.

How to refine only the nasal tip and transition area without an implant

To maintain the existing bridge line and address a crooked nose and dorsal hump without major changes, we performed implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella

For a drooping tip and retracted columella caused by septal cartilage damage following previous surgery with autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, the columella was restored, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.

Changes following nasal bridge skin necrosis after rhinoplasty and how reconstruction is performed

In a case with signs of nasal bridge skin necrosis and alar asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties, the nasal bridge and nostril shape were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage grafting, alar repositioning, and growth factor application.

Why bulbous noses are difficult to correct and the reconstruction method after foreign material removal

For a bulbous nose and drooping tip blunted by past nasal filler and thread-lifting procedures, the foreign material was removed, and the nasal line was refined using septal cartilage, donor rib cartilage, and a silicone implant.

Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and turns upward: reinforcement and reconstruction methods

For a patient presenting with visible nasal tip cartilage and an upturned nose following previous surgery with a silicone implant and ear cartilage, we performed silicone implant removal, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, fat grafting, and skin reinforcement with donor dermis.

Why post-nasal drip and a drooping tip occur together, and how septal extension and functional surgery address them

Post-nasal drip, a drooping tip, and a narrow columella were comprehensively improved through septal and inferior turbinate surgery, autologous cartilage septal extension, and alar reduction.

Why rib cartilage calcification must be evaluated in advance and correction methods for crooked and short noses

After evaluating calcification in the autologous rib cartilage, the 8th rib cartilage was harvested to correct a crooked nose, short nose, and nostril show, while an inferior turbinate reduction was performed concurrently to improve breathing function.

A case where a crooked nasal bone and drooping bulbous tip remaining after previous dorsal hump correction were straightened through lateral osteotomy, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, hump rasping, and rhinitis surgery.

Why long-standing contracted noses and crooked noses occur together, and how reconstruction is performed

A case correcting a contracted nose, crooked nose, and pinched nostrils that developed after repeated surgeries, using silicone implant and scar tissue removal, nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, alar reconstruction with ear cartilage, and dermal grafting.

Why the nose looks bulbous and long after alar reduction, and how to correct it

A case where a bulbous nasal tip, drooping arrow nose, and weakened septum—occurring after alar reduction and implant surgery 12 years prior—were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasal shortening, and septoplasty.
