In a nose with septal damage, an upturned nose, and a high radix after 5 surgeries, the filler and silicone implant were removed, followed by septal reconstruction and extension using autologous rib cartilage and placement of a new silicone implant.
Preoperative condition
A case correcting pinched alae, an upturned nose, and nostril asymmetry following previous surgeries. Using a closed approach, septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, lower lateral cartilage reconstruction, alar rim grafting (lowering the alar rim), and dermis grafting were performed.
Preoperative condition
In a nose where most of the septum and alar cartilages were lost after two previous surgeries, we reconstructed the overall framework using autologous rib cartilage, removed contracture tissue, and corrected the nasolabial angle.
Preoperative condition
In a patient presenting with an excessively high radix, a drooping tip, and nasal obstruction, a closed approach was used to lower the starting point, reconstruct the nasal tip using autologous rib cartilage, and perform septoplasty.
Preoperative condition
Loss of the septum and retraction of the columella caused by inflammation and contracture were restored with three-dimensional definition through total autologous rib cartilage reconstruction and lowering the columella.
