We removed the premaxillary ("cat") implant and irregularly placed ear cartilage from previous surgeries, then refined the crooked nose and radix line using a dermal graft, lateral osteotomy, and autologous rib cartilage septal extension.
Preoperative condition
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 · Postoperative record
To resolve thinned nasal tip skin and cartilage show-through caused by repeated surgeries, retroauricular autologous dermis grafting, lateral osteotomy, and columellar elevation were performed.
Preoperative condition
A case of a 26-year-old male patient with a low, short nose, a dorsal hump, and nasal obstruction, treated with partial septal reconstruction, septal extension using autologous rib cartilage, and silicone implant placement.
Preoperative condition
For a patient with a bulbous, bifid nasal tip due to thin skin and prominent cartilage, we performed septal extension, partial removal of subcutaneous tissue, dermal graft reinforcement with ear cartilage grafting, and lateral osteotomy through a closed approach.
Preoperative condition
In a case presenting with silicone implant exposure accompanied by inflammatory granulation tissue, the existing implant and capsule were removed, and autologous rib cartilage was used to perform septal extension and reconstruct the lower lateral cartilage.
Preoperative condition
This is a revision case involving thin skin, an upturned nose, and nostril asymmetry following a prior surgery. The septum was reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage, combined with artificial dermis reinforcement, alar rim elongation, and septoplasty.
Preoperative condition
The existing silicone implant extending to the nasal tip was removed, the thinned tip skin was reinforced, and the profile was improved into a masculine straight line through autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and dorsal silicone replacement.
Preoperative condition
A case where a septum weakened by previous surgery was reinforced with donor rib cartilage, and nostril lowering was performed using an ear cartilage graft and lower lateral cartilage repositioning. The existing autologous gluteal dermis was reused at the nasal tip, and functional surgery for nasal obstruction was performed simultaneously.
Preoperative condition
A case addressing a bulbous, wide nasal tip, a flat bridge, and an impression of a protruding mouth. We adjusted the columella and nasolabial angle, and recorded the immediate postoperative changes in tip width and nostril asymmetry.
Preoperative condition
Nostril asymmetry, a crooked nose, and nasal bone defects that developed after a previous philtrum reduction and rhinoplasty were reconstructed using lateral osteotomy restoration, autologous rib cartilage, and a rotation flap.
Preoperative condition
In a patient presenting with contracture, an upturned nose, and loss of lower lateral cartilages due to inflammation after previous surgery, we performed septal and alar cartilage reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage combined with stem cell therapy and alar rim lowering.
Preoperative condition
This is a case of a patient concerned about a nose that still looked long due to a residual dorsal hump and a drooping tip even after a previous surgery. The nasal bone and upper lateral cartilage were refined, the nasal tip and columella were corrected, and a thin silicone implant was placed to cover irregularities.
