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

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.

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.

Undissolved residual nasal filler and wide alae: causes, removal, and correction methods

Residual unabsorbed HA filler was completely removed, followed by autologous rib cartilage rhinoplasty, lower lateral cartilage trimming, and septal and inferior turbinate surgery, all performed via a closed approach.

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 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.

How high can a small, blunt nose be raised? — Skin limitations and reconstruction methods

A primary rhinoplasty case for a patient with a small, wide nasal tip, drooping, a minor dorsal hump, and chronic nasal obstruction, treated through gradual expansion accounting for skin elasticity, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, and septal correction.

Bulbous nasal tip unresolved by previous surgeries: causes and reconstruction methods

A case resolving a persistent bulbous tip, excessive nostril show, and residual filler after previous surgeries by removing the filler and reconstructing the septum and alae using autologous rib cartilage.

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.

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

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Changes that occur when inflammation persists after rhinoplasty and reconstruction methods

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a custom-fit implant is used for a nose with facial asymmetry, and methods for dorsal hump correction

Considering congenital facial asymmetry and prominent brow bones, the dorsal hump was corrected with a 3D-printed custom implant, combined with nasal tip plasty using autologous rib cartilage and rhinitis surgery to achieve improvement.

Before-and-after comparison

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 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.

Before-and-after comparison

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.
