Why nasal tip cartilage shows through the skin and turns upward: reinforcement and reconstruction methods

For a patient presenting with visible nasal tip cartilage and an upturned nose following previous surgery with a silicone implant and ear cartilage, we performed silicone implant removal, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, fat grafting, and skin reinforcement with donor dermis.

Why post-nasal drip and a drooping tip occur together, and how septal extension and functional surgery address them

Post-nasal drip, a drooping tip, and a narrow columella were comprehensively improved through septal and inferior turbinate surgery, autologous cartilage septal extension, and alar reduction.

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 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 nostrils show excessively in an upturned nose, and how to correct nasal tip position

A clinical case improving excessive nostril show, a wide nasal bridge, and an upturned nose deformity through lower lateral cartilage repositioning, nasal tip repositioning, dorsal hump rasping, and inferior turbinate resection.

How to achieve height and a straight bridge line in a nose with thick, inelastic tip skin

A case where a straight bridge line was created in a bulbous, upturned nose with thick, inelastic skin through septal extension using autologous rib cartilage and nasolabial angle correction.

How to reconstruct a nose with weakened septal cartilage without implants

A case where a septum weakened by excessive harvest was reinforced with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal structure was reconstructed without artificial implants using lateral osteotomy along with diced cartilage and dermis grafts.

Nasal bridge depression and nostril asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties: causes and reconstruction methods

A case where nasal bridge depression caused by skin necrosis and severe septal damage were improved with septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, cartilage and acellular dermal matrix grafts, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate.

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.

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 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.

Medpor and foreign materials left inside the nose: Why they cause problems and how they are removed

Although the patient believed she had only undergone alar reduction in the past, Medpor and non-absorbable foreign materials were discovered during surgery and completely removed. The nasal bridge and tip were then reconstructed using septal extension with autologous rib cartilage and lateral osteotomy.

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.

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.

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.
