In nasal valve reconstruction articles, it is important to identify which area inside the nose was narrowed or collapsed. While some cases involved surgery to widen the external nasal valve, other records document addressing the condition of the nasal bones and nasal roof while reconstructing both the upper lateral cartilage and the internal nasal valve. Although shared under the same general name, the anatomical structures corrected differ.
This also includes articles where septal correction, inferior turbinate surgery, and nasal valve reconstruction were performed simultaneously. Even among before-and-after records addressing nasal obstruction, the context shifts depending on which procedures were combined. It is helpful to distinguish external appearance photos from detailed explanations of breathing, and to verify the internal or external areas and actual scope of reconstruction described in the original text.

Lost lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and asymmetric, pinched nostrils were corrected. By lowering the radix, the appearance of a long nose was reduced, and surgery for rhinitis and nasal valve stenosis was performed concurrently.
Performed or used in this surgery
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.
Performed or used in this surgery
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.
Performed or used in this surgery
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.
Performed or used in this surgery
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.
Performed or used in this surgery
A case where nasal bones, the nasal vault, and the septum were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to resolve collapsed nasal bones, nasal roof collapse, internal nasal valve stenosis, and pain caused by excessive osteotomy in a previous surgery.
Performed or used in this surgery
To resolve chronic inflammation, an upturned nose, and redness of the nasal bridge that persisted after previous surgeries, artificial materials were removed, and structural reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed along with nasal valve surgery.
Performed or used in this surgery
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.
Performed or used in this surgery
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.
Performed or used in this surgery
A case involving a patient who experienced septal cartilage damage, an upturned nasal tip, and severe nasal obstruction after 8 surgeries over 15 years, where the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and reinforced with dermis.
Performed or used in this surgery
For an upturned nose and severe nasal obstruction caused by septal cartilage loss following silicone implant removal, we performed total septal reconstruction using rib cartilage, nostril lowering, and internal nasal valve reconstruction.
Performed or used in this surgery
A case in which nasal bone depression and nasal valve stenosis causing nasal obstruction following lateral osteotomy were addressed through lateral bone mobilization, nasal valve reconstruction, and dorsal augmentation with autologous rib cartilage.
Performed or used in this surgery
For a contracted nose and a sharply upturned nasal tip that developed after multiple surgeries, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, removal of inflammatory tissue from the nasal tip, and nostril lowering were performed.
Performed or used in this surgery
Left nostril stenosis and nasal obstruction that developed after repeated surgeries were improved through scar tissue removal, skin grafting, Z-plasty, and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage.
Performed or used in this surgery
A wide nasal tip, wide nasal bones, and nasal obstruction caused by internal nasal valve stenosis were improved together using closed lateral osteotomy, partial resection of subcutaneous tissue, and septal cartilage reinforcement.
Performed or used in this surgery
A case where a septum weakened by previous surgery was reinforced with donor rib cartilage, and nostril lowering was performed using an ear cartilage graft and lower lateral cartilage repositioning. The existing autologous gluteal dermis was reused at the nasal tip, and functional surgery for nasal obstruction was performed simultaneously.

Some articles specify that surgery was performed to widen the external nasal valve, whereas others state that internal nasal valve reconstruction was performed alongside upper lateral cartilage reconstruction. Each case differs in the specific structures and surgical scope indicated in the text. Rather than assuming the same area was corrected in the same manner simply because the term nasal valve is used, you can refer to the detailed explanations in each article.
Cases are documented where septal correction, inferior turbinate surgery, and nasal valve reconstruction were performed together, involving multiple procedures for nasal obstruction. Therefore, when breathing improvements are explained in the text, it is more accurate to view them in the context of the entire list of procedures performed, rather than attributing the result solely to nasal valve surgery alone.
