Why nasal obstruction persists after multiple surgeries: How to reconstruct the septum and nasal valve

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.

Why nasal obstruction worsens after rhinoplasty: How septal reconstruction and osteotomy reversal are performed

Nostril asymmetry, over-osteotomy, and a collapsed septum resulting from prior alar reduction were corrected using a skin graft, osteotomy reversal, septal reinforcement with autologous rib cartilage, and rhinitis surgery.

Why internal nasal structures collapse after multiple rhinoplasties and total reconstruction with rib cartilage

Following four prior rhinoplasties, septal and lower lateral cartilage defects and nasal bone erosion were addressed by treating a chronic foreign body reaction, performing total reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, and placing a nostril skin graft.

Why nasal obstruction worsens when the septum collapses to one side

For a male patient presenting with a collapsed septum, severe nasal obstruction, and a drooping tip, autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, septal extension, and rhinitis surgery were performed.

Noses with an arrow nose and bulbous tip: why we start with septal reconstruction

A clinical case in which a septum damaged from two previous surgeries and chronic nasal obstruction were restored using autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, septoplasty, rhinitis surgery, and bulbous tip correction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the septum deviates severely and becomes damaged, and how rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

A severely deviated and damaged septum following previous surgery with a silicone implant and donor rib cartilage was reinforced and reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, completing the nasal line through septal extension and nasolabial angle correction.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose flattens and widens after double-jaw surgery, and septal reconstruction

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.

Why Medpor causes loss of the anterior septum: removal and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction

In a nose where the anterior septum was severely damaged by Medpor, foreign materials were removed, and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, silicone implant replacement, nasal sill reduction, and functional nasal surgery were performed.

Why a septum collapsing to one side causes a crooked nose and blocked breathing, and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a septum collapsing to one side causes a crooked nose and blocked breathing, and how to reconstruct it with autologous rib cartilage

After two prior surgeries, a septum collapsed to the right, a depressed alar wing, and a mucosal defect were corrected through autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction, perichondrium grafting, and re-carving of the silicone implant.

Before-and-after comparison

Why nasal obstruction and a crooked nose can persist even after multiple surgeries

In a case of ongoing nasal obstruction with a weakened, deviated septum following multiple surgeries, structural integrity and nasal breathing were improved through septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lateral osteotomy, septoplasty, and turbinoplasty.

What problems arise with a septal perforation, and how is it reconstructed?

In a case where a 15×10 mm septal perforation and cartilage damage occurred after previous surgery, the perforation was closed with a skin graft and structural support was restored by reconstructing the septum with autologous rib cartilage.

Changes caused by semi-permanent bridge filler and septal reconstruction after removal

For Artecoll semi-permanent filler on the nasal bridge, a damaged septum, an upturned nasal tip, and nostril asymmetry, foreign material was completely removed, followed by septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and alar rim lowering.

Contracture causing the nose to harden and shorten after previous surgery: why it occurs and how it is reconstructed

For capsular contracture, septal damage, and asymmetric nasal bones following previous surgery, the implant and capsule were removed, and septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and nasal bridge augmentation with autologous rib cartilage were performed.

When tip skin is lacking after alar and philtrum reduction, how to determine the elevation limit

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.

Why artificial dermis on the nasal bridge can remain as a dorsal hump and how it is reconstructed after removal

In a case where residual artificial dermis from a previous procedure formed a dorsal hump and weakened the septal support, the artificial dermis was dissected and removed, lateral osteotomy and dorsal hump reduction were performed, the nasal tip was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, and the silicone implant was replaced.

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 rib cartilage reconstruction is done when the septum is damaged after multiple surgeries

A case where a septal defect and filler-induced deformity were identified after five prior surgeries. Following filler removal, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the nasal tip was reinforced using existing deep temporal fascia.

Foreign materials from illegal procedures in the nasal bridge: how to perform removal and total septal reconstruction

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.
