Reconstruction methods for a contracted nose accompanied by nasal obstruction

This is a case of a contracted nose and nasal obstruction following multiple surgical procedures. After silicone implant removal and stem cell therapy, nasal tip and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and an inferior turbinoplasty were performed through a closed approach.

Before-and-after comparison

Surgical approach for nasal obstruction, a drooping tip, and lowering the columella

Right-sided nasal obstruction, a drooping nasal tip, and a retracted columella following two previous surgeries were addressed using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, implant replacement, and mucosal adhesiolysis.

Before-and-after comparison

Revision rhinoplasty approach for a long nose and high radix after repeated surgeries

A long nose, high radix, and columellar depression that developed after multiple prior surgeries were corrected by removing previous foreign material, reconstructing the septum with donor rib cartilage, and carving a silicone implant.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for correcting a short, upturned nose

Nasal obstruction, a pinched look, and an upturned nose that developed after ear cartilage suturing and filler injection were corrected with foreign material removal, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and cartilage repositioning.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for alar and nostril asymmetry

Alar and nostril asymmetry and tip drooping after three prior surgeries were corrected via a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, septal extension, and septoplasty.

Bulbous nose correction and lowering the columella — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Bulbous nose correction and lowering the columella

To improve a retracted columella and a bulbous nose resulting from past alar reduction, filler on the nasal bridge was removed, and autologous rib cartilage was used for septal extension, lowering the columella, and nasolabial angle correction.

Rhinoplasty methods following foreign material removal

Through a closed approach, complex filler and thread foreign materials accumulated over a prolonged period were removed, and the nasal structure was corrected using autologous rib cartilage for tip reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and lowering the columella.

Custom rhinoplasty method for replacing an unnatural silicone implant — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Custom rhinoplasty method for replacing an unnatural silicone implant

With an unnatural implant outline and a crooked nose, the existing implant was removed and replaced with a wider implant, while autologous rib cartilage was used to lower the columella alongside osteotomy.

Surgical approach for a collapsed nose caused by septal cartilage damage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Surgical approach for a collapsed nose caused by septal cartilage damage

In a nose where most of the septum and alar cartilages were lost after two previous surgeries, we reconstructed the overall framework using autologous rib cartilage, removed contracture tissue, and corrected the nasolabial angle.

How to lower a high radix

In a patient presenting with an excessively high radix, a drooping tip, and nasal obstruction, a closed approach was used to lower the starting point, reconstruct the nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage, and perform septoplasty.

Before-and-after comparison

Contracted nose reconstruction method for the nasal bridge and nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage

This is a case of a contracted nose following total removal of materials due to acute inflammation after a previous surgery. After stem cell injection therapy, the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilage were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and adhesiolysis was planned to address nasal obstruction.

Before-and-after comparison

Reconstruction methods for a nose contracted after multiple surgeries

In a severe contracted nose that developed after a history of 27 surgeries and fat graft procedures, the protruding silicone implant and degenerated tissue were removed, and the septum and structural support were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.

How to reconstruct a columella retracted by contracture

Loss of the septum and retraction of the columella caused by inflammation and contracture were restored with three-dimensional definition through total autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and lowering the columella.

How to correct shape in a second surgery for a contracted nose

This is a case of a second surgery addressing a drooping tip and columellar scarring after reconstructing a contracted nose with autologous rib cartilage. We planned nasal tip reinforcement and a skin graft, and recorded changes in the position of the columella and the skin graft site after surgery.

How to improve a bulbous nose and a protruding mouth

This is a case of a patient with a history of two-jaw surgery, a bulbous nasal tip, a wide nasal sill (nostril floor), and asymmetry. Considering the possibility of detachment of the septal base, reconstruction was planned, and changes in the nasal tip, nasolabial angle, and nasal sill were documented.

How to correct a long nose by lowering the radix

The excessively high Gore-Tex implant was removed from the glabella, the radix was lowered to the pupil line, and the septum and retracted columella were corrected using autologous rib cartilage.

Revision rhinoplasty with autologous rib cartilage for a bulbous and drooping nose, along with columellar and nostril correction

A case of a patient who visited our clinic with a bulbous, drooping tip and nostril asymmetry. During surgery, severe damage to the septum and lower lateral cartilages was identified, leading to reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, while alar rim lowering and lateral osteotomy were included in the surgical plan.

Closed approach correction of a dorsal hump and nasal tip

To correct a progressively upturning nose, dorsal hump, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction, revision rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage was performed alongside functional nasal surgery through a closed approach.
