Bulbous nasal tip unresolved by previous surgeries: causes and reconstruction methods

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.

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.

Before-and-after comparison

How the nose changes when donor rib cartilage is resorbed, and how autologous rib cartilage reconstruction is performed

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.

How to refine only the nasal tip and transition area without an implant

To maintain the existing bridge line and address a crooked nose and dorsal hump without major changes, we performed implant-free rhinoplasty using autologous cartilage, lateral osteotomy, and rhinitis surgery.

Before-and-after comparison

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 the nose becomes upturned and shortened after illegal injection procedures, and how foreign body removal and reconstruction are performed

A case where purulent foreign material injected into the nasal bridge during an illegal procedure was removed, contracted skin was released, and an upturned nasal tip and bridge line were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and a silicone implant.

Why the nose deviates and the nasal tip turns bulbous after two-jaw surgery, and how to create a dorsal hump line with autologous rib cartilage

A case where a septum damaged after two-jaw surgery was reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, combined with lateral osteotomy and columella lowering, improving a crooked nose and bulbous tip.

Before-and-after comparison

Why bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella appear together and how to build tip definition

To correct a severe bulbous nose, short nose, and retracted columella, we performed anterior repositioning of the septal cartilage, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, partial removal of soft tissue, and repositioning of the lower lateral cartilages.

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.

Why nasal threads and fat grafting fail to create a defined line: foreign body removal and rib cartilage reconstruction

A case where foreign material was removed after dissatisfaction with thread lifting and fat grafting alongside a deviated septum, creating a straight bridge line with autologous rib cartilage and relieving nasal obstruction.

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.

Correction approach considering height and proportions for a small nose

For a small, upturned nose with a wide tip, foreign material from nasal bridge filler was removed, followed by lateral osteotomy, silicone implant placement, lowering the columella, and nasolabial angle correction.

Examining the causes of a contracted nose and methods for reconstruction

For a contracted nose and septal damage following repeated surgeries and implant removal, we reconstructed the septum using autologous rib cartilage while correcting the upturned tip and rhinitis.

How to remove embedded lifting threads from the nose and reconstruct the nasal structure

After completely removing 20 to 30 remaining threads inserted during oriental clinic thread-lifting procedures, the nasal line was improved by combining nasal tip correction using septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage with rhinitis surgery.

How to correct a short nose and nasal obstruction together

A short, upturned nose accompanied by nasal obstruction and a decreased sense of smell was corrected using a combination of septal extension with autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty for a deviated septum, lateral osteotomy, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates.

How to correct a contracted nose and inflammation caused by residual foreign material

Contracture and septal defect developed due to residual mesh and a foreign body reaction from previous surgeries. We removed the remaining foreign material, reconstructed the septum using autologous rib cartilage, and performed a skin graft to the columella.

How to reconstruct a pinched and upturned nose using autologous rib cartilage

A case where an upturned nose, pinched alae, and a crooked nose resulting from multiple previous rhinoplasties were corrected with lateral osteotomy, septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, and dermal grafting.
