Why nostril asymmetry and an upturned tip remain after alar reduction and how to correct them

A revision rhinoplasty case where nostril asymmetry, an upturned nasal tip, and an implant step-off visible after alar reduction were corrected through structural reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, and nasolabial angle correction.

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.

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 the alae become pinched and the tip collapses after nasal tip inflammation, and methods for reconstruction

A case of improving right alar pinching and depression caused by repeated surgeries and nasal tip inflammation using autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, nostril elongation, and a skin graft.

Preoperative condition

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why rhinitis symptoms recur after surgery, and how to correct a crooked nose at the same time

Following prior surgery for rhinitis and a deviated septum, the patient experienced a recurrence of symptoms along with nasal deviation and nostril asymmetry, which were improved through autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lateral osteotomy, and mucosal synechia adhesiolysis.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

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.

Preoperative condition

Before-and-after comparison

Why nostril asymmetry and stenosis occur, and how rib cartilage reconstruction and Z-plasty are performed

For nostril asymmetry and stenosis following alar and philtrum reduction, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage, Z-plasty, and dermal grafting were performed.

Postoperative record

Why nostril stenosis develops after alar reduction and philtrum reduction, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why nostril stenosis develops after alar reduction and philtrum reduction, and how to reconstruct it

To address left nostril stenosis and cartilage damage after alar reduction, septal and alar reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage was performed alongside an intranasal rotational flap.

Preoperative condition

Why an old silicone implant shows through at the nasal tip, and methods for removal and reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why an old silicone implant shows through at the nasal tip, and methods for removal and reconstruction

Implant show-through at the nasal tip and chronic rhinitis symptoms following an old silicone implant placement were addressed through implant removal, reconstruction of the septum and nasal tip cartilage, and rhinitis surgery.

Postoperative record

Why Silitex implants show through and how to reconstruct after removal — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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.

Preoperative condition

Why contracture and nasal obstruction develop together after multiple rhinoplasties, and how reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why contracture and nasal obstruction develop together after multiple rhinoplasties, and how reconstruction is performed

A case involving a patient who experienced septal cartilage damage, an upturned nasal tip, and severe nasal obstruction after 8 surgeries over 15 years, where the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and reinforced with dermis.

Preoperative condition

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose widens and becomes blocked after double-jaw surgery, and how to address both function and form

A case in which intranasal mucosal adhesions, nasal obstruction, and a widened nasal deformity following double-jaw surgery were corrected using synechia adhesiolysis, donor rib cartilage, and septal cartilage.

Before-and-after comparison

Why grafted dermis repeatedly absorbs, and how to reconstruct the nose

A case in which nasal deformity and septal damage caused by repeated dermal grafting and absorption were corrected through structural reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage and recycling of existing dermis.

Before-and-after comparison

Why a thick columella and upturned nasal tip develop, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

A case of an upturned nose with septal damage and contracture deformity from repeated surgeries, where the septum and lower lateral cartilages were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage along with columellar width correction.

Planning implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage in patients with allergic tendencies — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Planning implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage in patients with allergic tendencies

This is a revision rhinoplasty case where autologous rib cartilage was chosen instead of a silicone implant due to the patient's allergic constitution and concerns about inflammation. Drooping tip and a crooked nose were corrected through septal extension, bridge augmentation, and cartilage repositioning.
