When looking at scars and adhesions, visible external scars can be distinguished from internal adhesions inside the nose. One original record documents depressions caused by skin adhesion around the alae, an open rhinoplasty scar on the columella, and alar reduction scars. Another patient describes worsening right-sided nasal obstruction after mucosal adhesions developed inside the nose following revision rhinoplasty.
In addition, records from relatively early post-surgery phases took into account residual swelling along with forming scar tissue around the nasal tip. In this collection of cases, you can read where the scar was located, whether it was an aesthetic concern or related to breathing discomfort, and how the timeline from the previous surgery was documented. Compare each case without grouping all scars into the same tissue condition.

Following prior surgeries, a bulbous and drooping long nose with an excessively high radix and nasal obstruction was corrected using a closed approach. Scar tissue debridement, osteotomy, nasolabial angle correction, and septoplasty were performed concurrently.
Preoperative condition
A case involving a long, drooping nasal tip and nasal obstruction following previous rhinoplasty with a silicone implant and septal cartilage. The nasal tip was corrected using autologous rib cartilage, performed concurrently with septoplasty, inferior turbinate reduction, and synechia adhesiolysis.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
Contracture and septal defect resulting from repeated surgeries were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage. For the retracted columella, retroauricular free skin flap grafting and perichondrium grafting were performed to restore its shape.
Preoperative condition
Persistent bulbous tip and upturned nasal tip after surgery with ear cartilage were addressed with autologous rib cartilage septal extension, partial scar tissue excision, cartilage repositioning, and a silicone implant.
Performed or used in this surgery
For a patient whose septum had collapsed after repeated surgeries, causing internal nasal valve stenosis and inferior turbinate adhesions, we performed septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, osteotomy reversal, and adhesiolysis.
Preoperative condition
After double-jaw surgery weakened the septum, the nose became lower and wider; we reinforced it through septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and completed a smooth profile using a customized silicone implant.
Previous surgeries and procedures
In a patient with limited skin elasticity and mucosal adhesion following multiple nasal surgeries along with alar and philtrum reductions, we performed septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, nasolabial angle correction, columellar extension, and nasal synechia adhesiolysis.
Preoperative condition
We removed foreign materials from illegal injections in the nasal bridge, completely reconstructed the cartilage-depleted septum using autologous rib cartilage, and performed dermal grafting on the thinned skin.
Preoperative condition
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.
Preoperative condition
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.
Preoperative condition
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.
Preoperative condition
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.
Preoperative condition
A case resolving a persistent bulbous tip, excessive nostril show, and residual filler after previous surgeries by removing the filler and reconstructing the septum and alae using autologous rib cartilage.
Preoperative condition
To resolve chronic inflammation, an upturned nose, and redness of the nasal bridge that persisted after previous surgeries, artificial materials were removed, and structural reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed along with nasal valve surgery.
Preoperative condition
For a patient whose nasal tip had shrunk, whose alae appeared pinched, and whose nasal bridge developed scarring due to donor rib cartilage resorption, we performed alar reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, septal extension, and cartilage and dermal graft reinforcement.
Preoperative condition
In a case with signs of nasal bridge skin necrosis and alar asymmetry after multiple rhinoplasties, the nasal bridge and nostril shape were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage grafting, alar repositioning, and growth factor application.
Preoperative condition
Columellar retraction and bulbous tip deformity after previous dorsal hump reduction and osteotomy were corrected through septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, columellar cartilage grafting, and lateral osteotomies.
Preoperative condition · Postoperative record
For a patient presenting with a severely drooping columella, an arrow nose, and nostril asymmetry after previous surgeries, autologous rib cartilage septal extension and lower lateral cartilage repositioning were performed to improve tip drooping and asymmetry.

While they can be found under the same broad topic, their anatomical locations and functional impacts are evaluated separately in the original records. One article describes visible scars and skin depressions in the columella and alar reduction areas, whereas another records severe nasal obstruction following mucosal adhesions inside the nose. We have linked each reference so that external scarring and internal nasal cavity conditions are not interpreted as the same problem.
Yes. One original record notes that a surgical plan was designed to minimize tissue trauma, considering that swelling on the nasal tip and bridge had not fully subsided and scar tissue was actively forming around the tip cartilage. This description explains the clinical progress of that specific patient at the time. Rather than looking solely at the word "scar," please consider the timing and progress following the previous surgery.
