This case demonstrates closed rhinoplasty Korea for treating chronic foreign body reaction after orthognathic surgery. Rib cartilage reconstruction restored septal support, improved nasal airway function, and achieved long-term structural stability.
Author: Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Director, NoseLab Clinic✅ Case Background
This patient presented with chronic foreign body reaction, septal cartilage damage, and nasal deformity following orthognathic surgery and multiple prior nasal procedures.
Persistent inflammatory response led to serous fluid accumulation, structural weakening, and aesthetic distortion of the nasal framework.
In this closed rhinoplasty Korea case, the goal was to eliminate the source of inflammation, reconstruct the septum, and restore both function and nasal balance.
Key concerns included:
Chronic foreign body reaction
Septal cartilage destruction
Bulbous nasal tip
Excessive nostril exposure
Nostril asymmetry
Deviated columella
Functional airway compromise
This case required infection control and structural reconstruction rather than cosmetic correction.
If you are experiencing persistent swelling, infection, or structural issues after rhinoplasty or jaw surgery, a detailed structural evaluation is essential.

✅ Surgical Approach – Foreign Body Reaction Rhinoplasty Using Closed Rhinoplasty Korea
Chronic foreign body reaction occurs when implanted materials trigger persistent inflammation within the nasal structure.
In severe cases, this can lead to tissue damage, septal cartilage loss, and structural instability.
Closed rhinoplasty Korea allows precise removal of inflamed tissue and reconstruction of damaged structures while minimizing further trauma.

✅ Structural Problems Identified
Chronic inflammatory reaction around implant
Serous fluid accumulation
Severe septal cartilage loss
Bulbous and widened nasal bridge
Nostril asymmetry
Deviated columella
Functional airway obstruction
✅ Surgical Plan
1. Foreign Body Management
Removal of inflamed capsule
Drainage of serous fluid
Irrigation and infection control
2. Septal Reconstruction
Rib cartilage reconstruction of septum
Restoration of structural support
3. Tip and Columella Correction
Correction of upturned nasal tip
Repositioning of columella
4. Dorsal Refinement
Reduction of bulky nasal bridge
Natural contour restoration
5. Nostril Symmetry Correction
Correction of asymmetry and balance
6. Functional Correction
Restoration of nasal airway
Improvement of airflow
✅ Surgical Results
Frontal View
Slimmer nasal bridge
Reduced inflammation-related swelling
Improved symmetry

Lateral View
Balanced radix
Corrected tip position
Natural profile

Oblique View
Reduced bulkiness
Improved contour

Nasal Base View
Improved nostril symmetry
Straightened columella

✅ Surgeon’s Commentary
Chronic foreign body reaction is a serious complication that affects both structure and function.
Simply removing the implant is not sufficient; complete removal of inflamed tissue and structural reconstruction are required.
In this case, severe septal damage necessitated full reconstruction using rib cartilage.
This provided stable support for both nasal shape and airway function.
Closed rhinoplasty Korea allows precise correction while minimizing additional surgical trauma.
Long-term success depends on eliminating inflammation and restoring structural stability.

✅ FAQ
Q1. What causes foreign body reaction in rhinoplasty?
It occurs when the body reacts to implanted materials, leading to inflammation.
Q2. Can it be treated without surgery?
Severe cases require surgical removal and reconstruction.
Q3. Why is rib cartilage used?
It provides strong, infection-resistant structural support.
