A nose with almost no septal cartilage left: why the nasal tip cannot be elevated

A case where the septal support was largely lost from previous surgeries, resulting in nostril asymmetry. The central support was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal tip was elevated with dermis and cartilage grafts.

How a fractured nasal bone alters the nose after trauma, and how reduction and reconstruction are performed

A case involving a traumatic nasal bone fracture and damage to the right cartilage. Closed reduction of the nasal bone and donor rib cartilage reconstruction were performed alongside procedures to improve facial balance.

Why nasal tip skin thins and cartilage shows through, and how skin reinforcement is done

A case of skin thinning, cartilage show-through, and an upturned nose following contracted nose surgery. The skin was reinforced with dermis and autologous rib perichondrium, along with septal extension.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose looks wide and bulbous, and how to correct it with septal cartilage and ear cartilage

A case of a wide, bulbous nasal tip and asymmetry with no prior surgical history. Autologous septal and ear cartilage were used to construct a support strut, and septal and turbinate surgery were performed concurrently.

Why an autologous dermal graft absorbs, leading to a widened bridge and upturned nose, and how to correct it

A case of an upturned nose and widened bridge caused by dermal graft absorption. After removing nasal filler placed 2 years ago, a straight bridge line was established through septal extension, alar rim lowering, and correction of the depressed dorsum.

Why the columella droops and nostrils become visible: correcting a crooked nose and nostril asymmetry

A case of a drooping columella, crooked nose, and nostril show following prior filler, Misko, and silicone rhinoplasty. Autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and alar rim grafts were performed after implant removal.

Why the nasal tip droops and spreads when smiling after rhinoplasty: foreign material removal and tip correction methods

A case of nasal tip drooping, a pinched look, and tip spreading after nasal filler injection and silicone rhinoplasty 7 years ago. Foreign materials and the silicone implant were removed, and the nasolabial angle was corrected while reinforcing tip support.

Before-and-after comparison

Why short, upturned noses and crooked noses occur together, and how to correct them with septal extension

A short, upturned, crooked nose following an L-shaped silicone implant was lowered using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, and the airway was improved through nasal valve reconstruction and septal correction.

Why a depressed nasal bone on one side makes the nose look crooked: Osteotomy reconstruction and septal reconstruction

A crooked nose and facial asymmetry caused by a depressed right nasal bone and deviated septum were corrected using osteotomy along with septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage.

Why the nose looks long and the columella deviates: how septal extension and reconstruction are performed

To improve an elongated-looking nose, nostril asymmetry, and a deviated columella, we performed autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septal reconstruction, and alar base width correction together.

Why the nasal tip turns upward and nostril show increases years after rhinoplasty: Medpor removal and autologous dermis reconstruction

To resolve an upturned nose and nostril asymmetry resulting from surgery performed 13 years ago, adhered Medpor was carefully dissected and removed, and the septum was reconstructed using autologous dermis.

Why the septum collapses after multiple revision rhinoplasties, and how total reconstruction is performed with autologous rib cartilage

Cartilage penetrating the mucosa and a septal perforation after multiple surgeries were corrected through total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and repair of the perforation using ear perichondrium.

Why a crooked nose and nasal obstruction persist after surgery, and how revision is performed

Residual crooked nose and rhinitis-induced nasal obstruction following previous surgery were corrected through partial septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, lateral osteotomy, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

Depression along the nasal bridge and an upturned feel after repeated implant insertions and removals

Correcting nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an overly high radix caused by repeated surgeries using autologous rib cartilage septal extension and height adjustment.

Why nostrils look different when tilting the head up and cause nasal obstruction: septal reconstruction

To correct nostril asymmetry, a short nose, and nasal obstruction that developed after previous implant-free rhinoplasty and alar rim lowering, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and functional nasal surgery were performed.

Scar tissue and nostril asymmetry after nasal fracture and repeated revision surgeries: reconstructive approaches

Following trauma and revision surgery, the patient presented with concerns over silicone implant complications, nostril asymmetry, and scar adhesions. After removing the implant, autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and septoplasty were performed.

Why nasal asymmetry remains after cleft lip and palate, and reconstruction using rib and ear cartilage

For cleft lip- and palate-related asymmetry and alar deformities, septal reconstruction and dorsal augmentation were performed using autologous rib cartilage, along with alar reconstruction using ear cartilage and lateral osteotomy.

Why the nasal tip spreads wide and the nose appears crooked, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

For a crooked nose with a wide, bulbous tip and a drooping tip deformity, autologous rib cartilage nasal structural reconstruction was performed alongside nasolabial angle correction and functional rhinitis surgery.
