Revision rhinoplasty methods for a contracted nose and retracted columella

To correct an upturned nose, retracted columella, and nasal obstruction caused by contracture after multiple surgeries, stem cell therapy was performed followed by closed septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, lowering the columella, and osteotomy.

How to correct contracture deformity after multiple rhinoplasties

To improve an upturned nose and cartilage damage resulting from contracture after implant inflammation, stem cell therapy was performed, followed by closed septal reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage, removal of dorsal fibrous tissue, and partial use of a silicone implant.

How to correct an upturned nose and nostril show together

To correct an upturned nose, nostril show, and pinched alae resulting from multiple previous surgeries, I reconstructed the damaged septum and lower lateral cartilages using autologous rib cartilage, and performed nostril lowering and osteotomy through a closed approach.

Crooked nose, dorsal hump, and short nose: structural analysis and correction methods

A nose deviated to the right, accompanied by a dorsal hump, an upturned nasal tip, and nasal obstruction, was corrected through closed septoplasty, submucosal resection of the inferior turbinates, and septal extension.

Surgical approach for an upturned and crooked nose

This is a case of correcting a crooked nasal bridge and an upturned nose after two prior surgeries. Using a closed approach, the existing silicone implant and foreign material were removed, the nasal bridge and nasal tip were reconstructed with autologous rib cartilage, and nostril lowering was performed simultaneously.

Reconstruction method for an upturned and crooked nose after repeated surgeries

Following multiple rhinoplasties, the patient presented with an upturned nasal tip, septal damage, protruding columellar cartilage, and nasal obstruction. Tip reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage, septoplasty, and submucosal resection of the inferior turbinate were performed through a closed approach.

Correcting asymmetry and function in a small, upturned nose with thin skin

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.

Methods for correcting a short and upturned nose

A case of improving a short, upturned nose and a retracted columella accompanied by facial asymmetry. Using a closed approach, septal extension and reconstruction were performed using autologous rib cartilage, and the positions of the nasal tip and implant were adjusted to improve symmetry.

How to correct a pinched nose and nostril asymmetry

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.

How to correct a bulbous and short nose without implants

To improve a short, upturned nasal tip, a bulbous nose, and a dorsal hump, implant-free rhinoplasty was performed. Using a closed approach, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, lower lateral cartilage repositioning, and septal correction were carried out.

Reconstruction methods for a contracted nose accompanied by nasal obstruction

This is a case of a contracted nose and nasal obstruction following multiple surgical procedures. After silicone implant removal and stem cell therapy, nasal tip and septal reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage and an inferior turbinoplasty were performed through a closed approach.

Correction methods for a bulbous, deviated, and upturned nose

A high radix, bulbous nose, deviated nose, and upturned nose were corrected via a closed approach using autologous rib cartilage septal extension, septoplasty, lowering of the radix, and nasolabial angle adjustment.

Revision rhinoplasty methods for correcting a short, upturned nose

Nasal obstruction, a pinched look, and an upturned nose that developed after ear cartilage suturing and filler injection were corrected with foreign material removal, autologous rib cartilage septal extension, and cartilage repositioning.

A staged correction method for a severely upturned contracted nose

After total removal of implants due to inflammation left a severely upturned contracted nose, the septum and lower lateral cartilage were reconstructed using autologous rib cartilage and the skin was stretched via a closed approach.

Surgical approach for a collapsed nose caused by septal cartilage damage

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.

How to correct right-sided nasal obstruction, a bulbous tip, and an upturned nose

To resolve an upturned nose, bulbous nasal tip, and right-sided nasal obstruction, we performed septal extension, lateral osteotomy, silicone implant placement, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction.

How to correct a bulbous, upturned nose

This is a case of a 21-year-old female with an upturned nose showing excessive nostril exposure and a bulbous tip. Subcutaneous tissue excision, silicone implant placement, lateral osteotomy, and septal extension grafting using septal and donor rib cartilage added definition and projection.

How to correct a short and upturned nose

A case of a short, upturned nose and residual semi-permanent filler following two-jaw surgery. Suspecting septal damage, reconstruction with autologous rib cartilage was planned. Here are the surgical details of the reconstruction and tip surgery, along with changes in the nasolabial angle and nostril show.
