This case demonstrates closed rhinoplasty Korea for removing unexpected foreign materials including Medpor and synthetic substances. Rib cartilage reconstruction restored nasal structure, improved symmetry, and achieved long-term stability.

✅ Case Background


This patient presented after undergoing what was believed to be a simple nostril reduction procedure, along with multiple filler injections.


However, during surgery, unexpected foreign materials including Medpor implants, synthetic substances, and nylon sutures were discovered.


These hidden materials caused severe scar formation, structural distortion, and aesthetic imbalance.


In this closed rhinoplasty Korea case, the goal was to completely remove all foreign materials, reconstruct the nasal framework, and restore both function and natural balance.


Key concerns included:

  • Hidden Medpor implant

  • Unknown synthetic foreign material

  • Severe scar tissue and adhesions

  • Distorted nasal structure

  • Nostril asymmetry

  • Unnatural nasal contour


This case required complete removal and structural reconstruction rather than cosmetic correction.


If you have had previous nasal procedures and are unsure about the materials used, a detailed structural evaluation is essential.

✅ Surgical Approach – Foreign Material Removal Rhinoplasty Using Closed Rhinoplasty Korea


Foreign materials such as Medpor and synthetic implants can lead to chronic inflammation, scar formation, and structural distortion.


In many revision cases, patients are unaware of the materials previously used, making surgical planning more complex.


Closed rhinoplasty Korea allows careful dissection, removal of foreign materials, and precise reconstruction while minimizing additional tissue damage.

✅ Structural Problems Identified


  • Presence of hidden foreign materials (Medpor, synthetic debris)

  • Severe scar tissue and adhesion

  • Distorted nasal framework

  • Nostril asymmetry

  • Unnatural nasal contour

  • Weak structural support

✅ Surgical Plan


1. Foreign Material Removal

  • Complete removal of Medpor implant

  • Extraction of synthetic substances in glabella

  • Removal of nylon sutures

  • Thorough irrigation and cleansing


2. Septal Reconstruction

  • Rib cartilage graft for structural support


3. Nasal Tip and Bridge Refinement

  • Correction of distorted nasal shape

  • Restoration of natural contour


4. Osteotomy

  • Realignment of nasal bones


5. Structural Reinforcement

  • Stabilization of nasal framework

✅ Surgeon’s Commentary


Foreign material-related complications are among the most challenging cases in revision rhinoplasty.


In this case, the patient was unaware of previously inserted Medpor and synthetic materials, which led to severe scar formation and structural distortion.


Complete removal of all foreign materials is essential before reconstruction.


Rib cartilage reconstruction provides strong and stable support for restoring nasal structure.


Closed rhinoplasty Korea allows precise removal and reconstruction while minimizing additional tissue trauma.


Long-term success depends on eliminating foreign materials and rebuilding a stable structural framework.

✅ FAQ


Q1. Can foreign materials remain after rhinoplasty without the patient knowing?

Yes, in some cases implants or materials may not be fully disclosed.


Q2. Why is Medpor removal difficult?

It integrates with surrounding tissue, causing adhesion.


Q3. Why is rib cartilage used after removal?

It provides stable and biocompatible structural support.
