Why replacing a cartilage nasal tip with an L-shaped silicone implant causes problems

A case where a previously replaced L-shaped silicone implant was removed, the nasal tip was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal bridge was replaced with an I-shaped implant to correct an upturned nose and a tilted columella.

Why a bulbous nose, wide nasal base, and drooping tip occur together and how to create a slimmer nasal line

A case in which nasal tip plasty with autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, nasal floor reduction, and nasolabial angle correction were performed together to correct a blunt bulbous nose, wide nasal base, and crooked nasal bridge.

Why a wide nose often comes with nasal obstruction: Correction using osteotomy and autologous rib cartilage

For a wide nose, bulbous tip, crooked nose, and deviated septum, lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, bridge augmentation, septal and inferior turbinate surgery, and autologous fat grafting were performed.

Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous nose, nostril asymmetry, and nasal obstruction occur together, and how straight bridge line correction is performed

A case where a blunt, wide nasal tip, a columella tilted to the right, and nasal obstruction were refined into a natural straight bridge line through bulbous tip correction, nasolabial angle improvement, and septoplasty.

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time

Following prior surgery for rhinitis and a deviated septum, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms along with nasal deviation and nostril asymmetry, which were improved through autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and mucosal synechia adhesiolysis.

Why a dorsal hump often comes with nasal obstruction, and how it is corrected using only autologous rib cartilage

For a severe dorsal hump, drooping tip, and nasal obstruction, septal reconstruction and bridge augmentation with autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed.

Why a previously operated nose can look crooked and develop a drooping tip

To address a crooked nose, a drooping tip, and residual nasal filler, we removed the previous filler and performed lateral osteotomy and nasal tip correction using autologous rib cartilage.

Why bulbous and flared tips persist after revision rhinoplasty: How reconstruction is performed using autologous rib cartilage

To restore septal support weakened by prior surgery and address a bulbous, flared nasal tip, we performed septal reconstruction and septal extension using autologous rib cartilage.

Why a dorsal hump often accompanies nasal deviation and nostril asymmetry, and how septal cartilage correction is performed

A case in which septal extension using septal cartilage and lateral osteotomy were performed to achieve a natural change, correcting a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry together.

When undissolved nasal filler spreads and sinusitis coexists: how removal and correction are performed

Spread nasal filler, a dorsal hump, a long-looking nasal tip, and sinusitis symptoms were addressed together through filler removal, hump reduction, and septoplasty.

Dorsal hump and crooked nose worsened after trauma: A correction method with minimal change

A case in which septal extension using donor rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and inferior turbinate rhinitis surgery were performed for a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and nasal obstruction that worsened after trauma.

Before-and-after comparison

What to look for when nasal bone asymmetry and a drooping tip coincide with chronic rhinitis

Nasal bone asymmetry, chronic rhinitis, and a drooping nasal tip were corrected through lateral osteotomy, septal reconstruction using donor rib cartilage, and adjustment of the silicone implant.

Before-and-after comparison

Why Gore-Tex in the nasal tip causes issues and septal reconstruction using rib cartilage

A deviated nose, implant show-through, and pinched tip caused by silicone and nasal tip Gore-Tex were resolved by removing the Gore-Tex, reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage, and correcting the nasolabial angle.

Before-and-after comparison

Why Medpor extrudes through the nasal mucosa, and how removal and reconstruction are performed

The extruded Medpor and damaged tissue protruding into the nasal cavity were removed, and the septum along with the missing lower lateral cartilage was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to treat asymmetry and inflammation.
