How to correct a crooked nose and nostril asymmetry together

This is a case of a crooked nose, nostril asymmetry, and depressive dimpling from scar adhesions following repeated surgeries and alar reduction. Nasal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and implant replacement were planned, and changes achieved through columellar repositioning and lower lateral cartilage rearrangement were documented.

Correction methods addressing a small nose and nostril asymmetry together

For a primary rhinoplasty patient presenting with a small nose, nostril asymmetry, and a retracted columella, we performed septal extension using septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage, dorsal hump reduction, dermal graft reinforcement, and silicone implant placement.

Closed correction method for bulbous nose and dragon nose

In a patient presenting with a bulbous nose, dragon nose, and retracted columella after previous filler injections, filler removal, septal extension using septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage, nostril lowering, and silicone implant insertion were performed via a closed approach.

Rhinoplasty approach considering proportion and height for a small nose

This is a case of a male patient concerned with a small, short nose, a bulbous tip, and nasal obstruction. After checking the condition of the septal cartilage intraoperatively, autologous rib cartilage was used to shape the nasal tip, while a silicone implant and septal and inferior turbinate surgery were included in the surgical plan.

Columellar retraction and contracted nose: Anatomy and reconstruction methods

A case of severe columellar retraction and septal cartilage damage following inflammation and implant removal, corrected with autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, deviated septum correction, and composite grafting.

Nasal structure and correction methods for a bulbous, widened nose

A case involving bridge pain, implant mobility, and a bulbous tip from a silicone implant placed 20 years ago. The previous implant and granulation tissue were removed, followed by septal extension using autologous rib cartilage and placement of a new implant.

Correction approach considering a wide nose and midface proportions

A high radix, visible thin implant show-through, and a drooping tip were corrected using autologous rib cartilage for septal reconstruction and extension, silicone implant replacement, and alar rim grafts.

Surgical planning for rhinoplasty addressing both a protruding mouth and the nasolabial angle

This is a case where a retracted columella, a bulbous and upturned tip, and a small dorsal hump made a protruding mouth look prominent. Septal extension and lateral osteotomy were planned, and changes in the nasal tip and nasolabial angle were documented following closed rhinoplasty.

Revision rhinoplasty for a contracted nose and nasal tip skin depression

For severe nasal tip skin depression and contracture deformity that developed after infection treatment, remaining Gore-Tex in the glabella was removed, followed by autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and dermis-cartilage reinforcement.

Methods for correcting nasal deformities associated with cleft lip and palate

A case in which asymmetry, a right maxillary bone defect, and nostril floor depression resulting from cleft lip and palate were corrected by reconstructing the septum and lower lateral cartilage and augmenting the nasal floor bone using autologous rib cartilage.

How to plan bulbous nose correction together with lowering the columella

To correct snoring, a retracted columella, a crooked nose, and a bulbous nose, residual bridge filler was removed, and septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, lowering the columella, and septoplasty and inferior turbinate surgery were performed through a closed approach.

Rhinoplasty approach examining the structure of a bulbous nasal tip

In a patient presenting with a bulbous, drooping tip and symptoms of a deviated septum after previous rhinoplasty, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and turbinoplasty were performed via a closed approach.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for a contracted nose and retracted columella

To correct an upturned nose, retracted columella, and nasal obstruction caused by contracture after multiple surgeries, stem cell therapy was performed followed by closed septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lowering the columella, and osteotomy.

Nasal structures and reconstruction methods for a contracted nose after repeated surgeries

Following a history of 6 surgeries with cartilage resorption, contracture, and columellar retraction, the structure was corrected through total septal reconstruction using fresh autologous rib cartilage.

How to correct an upturned nose and nostril show together

To correct an upturned nose, nostril show, and pinched alae resulting from multiple previous surgeries, I reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, and performed nostril lowering and osteotomy through a closed approach.

Reconstruction method for an upturned and crooked nose after repeated surgeries

Following multiple rhinoplasties, the patient presented with an upturned nasal tip, septal damage, protruding columellar cartilage, and nasal obstruction. Tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed through a closed approach.

Correction methods for a retracted columella, bulbous nose, and nostril asymmetry

A case correcting a retracted columella, bulbous nose, and nostril asymmetry after three prior surgeries. Through a closed approach, septal reconstruction and extension were performed using autologous cartilage, elevating and lowering the retracted columella.

Methods for correcting a short and upturned nose

A case of improving a short, upturned nose and a retracted columella accompanied by facial asymmetry. Using a closed approach, septal extension and reconstruction were performed using autologous rib cartilage, and the positions of the nasal tip and implant were adjusted to improve symmetry.
