Revision Rhinoplasty for Deviated Nose

* Patient Information

# Female in her 30s

# Underwent rhinoplasty using septal cartilage several years ago, but the nose has gradually become more deviated.

* Consultation

# Although she had surgery using her septum, her main concern was that the nose became increasingly crooked and deviated over time. She also felt that the nasal tip was gradually drooping.

# We planned to correct the deviated nose and drooping tip using donated rib cartilage.

* Surgical Plan

# Tip Plasty (Correction of deviated nose, drooping tip, and nostrils)

# Bridge Rhinoplasty (Correction of implant deviation)

* Intraoperative Findings

# There was significant scar tissue, which was cleanly removed, and the area was irrigated with an anti-scarring agent.

# The septum was severely deviated, and the previous septal extension graft was weakly fixed to that area. This was the cause of the deviated nasal tip.

# The septum was reconstructed. A sturdy septal pillar was newly created using the existing septal cartilage combined with new donated rib cartilage.

* Postoperative Findings

# You can see that the deviated nose has been straightened and the drooping tip has been sufficiently resolved, right?

# When performing revision surgery, it is crucial to set a perfect plan and prepare thoroughly beforehand. One must consider various variables in advance to respond flexibly to unexpected situations that may arise during surgery!

Consultations and surgeries should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon!
