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.

Why nostrils narrow after illegal injections by unlicensed practitioners, and methods for removal and reconstruction

In a patient who developed nostril stenosis and a drooping tip from illegal injections administered by an unlicensed practitioner 20 years ago, we removed the foreign material and reconstructed the septum and lower lateral cartilage using autologous rib cartilage to improve the nasal shape.

Nose with remaining filler and threads: how much can rib cartilage reconstruction achieve after removal?

To improve nasal bridge asymmetry and a blunt nasal shape resulting from nose filler and thread-lifting procedures, the foreign materials were removed, and tip support structures were established using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage.

Why a nose becomes short and upturned with a retracted columella, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction works

A case where an upturned nose and a retracted columella caused by cartilage loss from previous surgeries were naturally restored using autologous rib cartilage for lower lateral cartilage reconstruction and septal extension.

Why contracture and a crooked nose occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how they are corrected

A case of improving an upturned tip, crooked nose, and nostril asymmetry that developed after four prior nasal surgeries and filler injections, using foreign material removal, septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, and silicone implant supplementation.

Why the nasal tip gets pinched and the columella retracts: how Medpor removal and reconstruction are performed

A case correcting a pinched nose caused by Medpor discovered after three surgeries and cartilage defects, through foreign material removal and full reconstruction of the alar cartilages and septum using autologous rib cartilage.

Why long-standing contracted noses and crooked noses occur together, and how reconstruction is performed

A case correcting a contracted nose, crooked nose, and pinched nostrils that developed after repeated surgeries, using silicone implant and scar tissue removal, nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, alar reconstruction with ear cartilage, and dermal grafting.

Why the nose becomes upturned and shortened after illegal injection procedures, and how foreign body removal and reconstruction are performed

A case where purulent foreign material injected into the nasal bridge during an illegal procedure was removed, contracted skin was released, and an upturned nasal tip and bridge line were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant.

Why nostrils appear triangular in an upturned nose, and how to correct nostril shape

To address an upturned nose, excessive nostril show, and a high radix resulting from multiple rhinoplasty procedures over an extended period, nostril-lowering surgery with composite cartilage and skin grafting was performed alongside functional nasal surgery.

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.

Chronic foreign body reaction causing a blunt, widened nasal bridge: causes and reconstruction methods

This is a revision rhinoplasty case in which a septum damaged from prior double jaw surgery and a chronic foreign body reaction in the nasal bridge were identified, followed by irrigation, capsule removal, and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage.

Why a crooked nose and irregular dorsum occur: implant removal and reconstruction methods

We removed the premaxillary ("cat") implant and irregularly placed ear cartilage from previous surgeries, then refined the crooked nose and radix line using a dermal graft, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.

Before-and-after comparison

Why old silicone implants cause deformity and pain, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For nasal deformity, dorsal pain, and nasal obstruction caused by an old implant, septoplasty and autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction were performed to improve the columella and nostrils.

When a silicone implant is about to push through the nasal tip skin: why it happens and how to reconstruct it

In an urgent condition where the silicone implant was on the verge of extruding just beneath the nasal tip skin, the implant was removed, and nasal tip reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and dermal graft reinforcement was performed.

How to address a widened nose and nasal obstruction left by multiple filler injections

A case where a widened nasal bridge, upturned nasal tip, and deviated septum resulting from repeated filler procedures were improved together through filler removal, donor rib cartilage septal extension, and septoplasty.

Why Silitex implants show through and how to reconstruct after removal

Upturned nostrils and implant show-through following Silitex insertion were improved by completely removing the implant, elevating the nasal tip with autologous rib cartilage, replacing the bridge implant with silicone, and performing facial fat grafting.

Why the nasal bridge looks red after revision rhinoplasty and methods for reconstruction

Redness of the nasal bridge and a long nose that developed after two prior surgeries using autologous and donor rib cartilage were corrected through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, implant replacement, and nasal base correction.
