Reconstruction methods to evaluate damaged structures in a contracted nose

In a case where flap necrosis resulted in recurrent contracture, a retracted columella, and an upturned nasal tip, silicone implant removal was followed by septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and mucosal graft.

Bulbous nose and upturned nose: correction tailored to facial proportions

A case of a 24-year-old male patient who presented with a bulbous nose, an upturned nasal tip, and left-sided nasal obstruction. Septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, lowering the columella, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed.

Autologous rib cartilage implant-free revision rhinoplasty for contracted nose and nostril asymmetry

A case of implant-free nasal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage for septal reconstruction and lateral osteotomy in a 22-year-old male patient who suffered from inflammation and contracted nose deformity.

Correction methods addressing a small nose and nostril asymmetry together

For a primary rhinoplasty patient presenting with a small nose, nostril asymmetry, and a retracted columella, we performed septal extension using septal cartilage and donor rib cartilage, dorsal hump reduction, dermal graft reinforcement, and silicone implant placement.

Rhinoplasty approach considering proportion and height for a small nose

This is a case of a male patient concerned with a small, short nose, a bulbous tip, and nasal obstruction. After checking the condition of the septal cartilage intraoperatively, autologous rib cartilage was used to shape the nasal tip, while a silicone implant and septal and inferior turbinate surgery were included in the surgical plan.

Crooked nose correction considering facial asymmetry

A case presenting facial asymmetry alongside a dorsal hump, a crooked nose, and a drooping columella. Using a closed approach, nasal tip correction with autologous rib cartilage, dorsal hump reduction, lateral osteotomy, and silicone implant placement were performed.

Rhinoplasty method considering the nasal bridge starting point and facial proportions

Prominent brow bones, a low glabella, and a drooping nasal tip were corrected following filler removal by inserting a glabellar silicone implant, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and rhinitis surgery.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for a short and upturned nose

A short, upturned nose and nasal obstruction following multiple prior surgeries were corrected using donor rib cartilage septal extension, recycling of existing cartilage, silicone implant replacement, and septal and inferior turbinate surgery.

How to simultaneously correct an upturned nose, dorsal hump, and crooked nose

For a complex presentation combining an upturned nose, dorsal hump, and crooked nose, closed septal extension grafting using donor rib cartilage and septal cartilage, lateral osteotomy, nasolabial angle correction, and tip modification were performed.

Revision rhinoplasty for a contracted nose and nasal tip skin depression

For severe nasal tip skin depression and contracture deformity that developed after infection treatment, remaining Gore-Tex in the glabella was removed, followed by autologous rib cartilage septal reconstruction and dermis-cartilage reinforcement.

How to remove mesh and reconstruct a contracted nose

In a patient presenting with post-inflammatory nasal contracture and nasal obstruction, unexpected mesh and residual donor rib cartilage found in the nasal tip were removed. The entire septum and both lower lateral cartilages were then reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage.

Revision rhinoplasty approach for an upturned nose caused by contracture

To address a contracted and upturned nose with nostril asymmetry resulting from inflammation and implant removal, stem cell therapy was performed first, followed by autologous rib cartilage septal extension, alar rim grafting, and silicone nasal bridge augmentation.

Correction methods considering the shape of contracted and upturned noses

In a male patient who developed contracture deformity, an upturned nose, and nasal obstruction after repeated surgeries, septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage along with nostril lowering were performed via a closed approach.

Correction method for a small, upturned nose considering the nasolabial angle and nasal function

To correct nasal obstruction along with an upturned nose, short nose, and low glabella, septoplasty, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and lateral osteotomy were performed using a closed approach.

Supportive structures and correction methods for a bulbous and upturned nose

To correct an upturned tip, a bulbous tip, and a low glabella while avoiding the use of rib cartilage, a septal extension graft using septal cartilage and nasal bridge augmentation with a silicone implant were performed via a closed approach.
