Short and upturned nose with insufficient septal cartilage: how to lengthen it with rib cartilage reinforcement

A short, upturned nose caused by septal cartilage deficiency from a previous surgery was corrected with septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, combined with chin filler removal and receding chin correction.

Before-and-after comparison

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.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the L-strut thins after multiple nose surgeries and how to structurally reconstruct it

The septal L-strut, thinned after three previous surgeries, was reinforced with autologous rib cartilage, and the crooked nose was reconstructed through lateral osteotomies and columellar lengthening.

Why nasal asymmetry remains after cleft lip and palate, and reconstruction using rib and ear cartilage — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

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 infection recurs after rhinoplasty: treatment of inflammation and staged reconstruction

In a patient presenting with mucosal perforation and contracture deformity caused by implant infection, inflamed tissue was debrided and irrigated, followed by staged septal reconstruction.

How to perform reconstruction when multiple revision surgeries leave no nasal cartilage behind — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

How to perform reconstruction when multiple revision surgeries leave no nasal cartilage behind

This is a case where the septum was damaged and both lower lateral cartilages were removed following multiple rhinoplasties. The support structure was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, concurrently correcting the upturned nose, deviated columella, and nasolabial angle.

Before-and-after comparison

Why an overly high nose looks unnatural and deviates, and how it can be reconstructed

For an overly high "Pinocchio-like" deviated nose with septal damage, the silicone implant was removed, and autologous rib cartilage reconstruction, radix adjustment, and nasal sill reduction were performed.

Preoperative condition

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why saddle nose and nasal valve stenosis occur after repeated revision rhinoplasty, and how total reconstruction is performed

This is a case where the nasal bones, septum, and keystone area were damaged after repeated surgeries, causing nasal obstruction due to nasal valve stenosis. Autologous rib cartilage was used to reconstruct the nasal support structure and nasal valve, while correcting bridge depression and asymmetry.

Preoperative condition

Why a nose with excessive septal cartilage harvest becomes upturned and blocked, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a nose with excessive septal cartilage harvest becomes upturned and blocked, and how to reconstruct it

A case where a septum weakened and deviated to the left from a previous surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage. Addressing both nasal obstruction and an upturned nose, the nasal tip was elongated, and the depressed nasal dorsum and nasolabial angle were corrected.

Before-and-after comparison

Why the nasal bridge sinks and one side becomes blocked after rhinoplasty osteotomy: Internal nasal valve reconstruction and restoration

A case where nasal bones, the nasal vault, and the septum were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to resolve collapsed nasal bones, nasal roof collapse, internal nasal valve stenosis, and pain caused by excessive osteotomy in a previous surgery.

Preoperative condition

Why the nose keeps deviating after multiple surgeries and methods for septal cartilage reconstruction — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why the nose keeps deviating after multiple surgeries and methods for septal cartilage reconstruction

To resolve persistent septal damage, nasal deviation, and nostril asymmetry following repeated surgeries, the central support pillar was entirely reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.

Septal perforation and nasal tip cartilage show-through after repeated rhinoplasties: how reconstruction is performed

A case where autologous rib cartilage was used for full septal reconstruction alongside dermis grafting to address repeated surgical history, septal perforation, and thinned nasal tip skin.

Preoperative condition

Why a crooked nose and a drooping tip occur together: How septal reconstruction and rhinitis surgery are performed — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a crooked nose and a drooping tip occur together: How septal reconstruction and rhinitis surgery are performed

Following previous rhinoplasty, poor septal support led to a crooked nose, a drooping tip, and excessive nostril show. These concerns were addressed through septal reconstruction, lateral osteotomy, and tip support correction.

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why a paranasal implant migrates into the nasal cavity causing breathing obstruction, and how to reconstruct it

We removed an old paranasal implant that had migrated into the nasal cavity and obstructed breathing, and completely reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, improving both breathing function and nasal appearance.

Before-and-after comparison

Problems caused by excessive harvest of septal cartilage and methods for reconstruction

In a patient whose septal cartilage had been excessively harvested during previous surgeries, leading to a shortened nasal tip and nostril asymmetry, the septum was solidly reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage to restore nasal length.

Why donor dermis absorbs after multiple revision surgeries and how to reconstruct the septum — Before-and-after comparison
Before-and-after comparison

Why donor dermis absorbs after multiple revision surgeries and how to reconstruct the septum

For a patient who experienced partial absorption of donor dermis on the nasal bridge and septal damage after multiple revision surgeries, the donor dermis was removed, the septum was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and the skin was reinforced with retroauricular dermis.

Before-and-after comparison

Why septal cartilage damage causes a drooping tip and a retracted columella

For a drooping tip and retracted columella caused by septal cartilage damage following previous surgery with autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant, the septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, the columella was restored, and the nasolabial angle was corrected.
