Why dorsal humps and crooked noses often cause nasal obstruction, and how to address them with combined correction

A case combining a dorsal hump, crooked nose, and hypertrophic rhinitis addressed with osteotomy, hump reduction, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

Before-and-after comparison

Structure and correction methods for a short and upturned nose

This case involved a small, upturned nasal tip, excessive nostril show, and rhinitis. Using partially calcified autologous rib cartilage, we performed septal extension, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates, and nasolabial angle correction.

Rhinoplasty and chin augmentation considering facial proportions

For a bulbous nasal tip, retracted columella, and a receding chin, septal extension using septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage was combined with a chin implant to refine the facial profile.

Correction approach considering height and proportions for a small nose

For a small, upturned nose with a wide tip, foreign material from nasal bridge filler was removed, followed by lateral osteotomy, silicone implant placement, lowering the columella, and nasolabial angle correction.

How to correct a short nose and nasal obstruction together

A short, upturned nose accompanied by nasal obstruction and a decreased sense of smell was corrected using a combination of septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty for a deviated septum, lateral osteotomy, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

Upturned nose and nasal obstruction: how to reconstruct structural support with rib cartilage

For an upturned nose and severe nasal obstruction caused by septal cartilage loss following silicone implant removal, we performed total septal reconstruction using rib cartilage, nostril lowering, and internal nasal valve reconstruction.

Correcting a low nasal bridge and nasal obstruction together

A low, flat nasal bridge, a bulbous tip, and nasal obstruction caused by a deviated septum were improved through rhinoplasty using septal cartilage and ear cartilage, alongside inferior turbinate reduction.

Revision rhinoplasty for a long nose and a wide, flat nasal bridge

A long nose, wide nasal bridge, mucus pooling, and nasal obstruction resulting from multiple prior surgeries were corrected using lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage grafting, and septoplasty.

Anatomy and correction methods for wide and bulbous noses

A blunt, wide nasal tip, a crooked nasal bridge, and nasal obstruction from rhinitis were corrected with lateral osteotomy, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septoplasty, and inferior turbinate resection.

Corrective approaches for nasal obstruction and asymmetry after lateral osteotomy

A case in which nasal bone depression and nasal valve stenosis causing nasal obstruction following lateral osteotomy were addressed through lateral bone mobilization, nasal valve reconstruction, and dorsal augmentation with autologous rib cartilage.

Bulbous nose and upturned nose: correction tailored to facial proportions

A case of a 24-year-old male patient who presented with a bulbous nose, an upturned nasal tip, and left-sided nasal obstruction. Septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, lowering the columella, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed.

The structure and correction methods for a bifid (cleft) nasal tip

For a patient with a bulbous, bifid nasal tip due to thin skin and prominent cartilage, we performed septal extension, partial removal of subcutaneous tissue, dermal graft reinforcement with ear cartilage grafting, and lateral osteotomy through a closed approach.

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.
