Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang, director of Nose Lab Clinic.

Today, I’ll share a case study involving deviated nose correction and nasal obstruction. This case emphasizes the importance of balancing functional and aesthetic goals in rhinoplasty..

Patient History and Goals – Deviated Nose Correction

2015: Silicone implant and septoplasty
Goals:
- Resolve nasal obstruction
- Increase nasal tip height
- Correct deviated nose

Preoperative Analysis for Deviated Nose Correction

Frontal View

Deviated nose tilted to the left
Bulbous nasal tip
Excessive nostril show

Side View

Flattened nasal tip
Poor columella visibility

Oblique View

Rounded nasal tip
Prominent mouth projection

Nostril View

Asymmetric nostrils
Columella deviated to the left

Surgical Plan – Structural & Functional Deviated Nose Correction

a. Structural Reconstruction with Rib Cartilage

Restored damaged septum
Enhanced nasal tip support
Corrected asymmetric nasal framework

b. Septal Extension Graft for Deviated Nose

Straightened deviated tip
Refined bulbous nasal tip
Aligned nostril asymmetry

c. Functional Improvements

Corrected septal deviation
Reduced hypertrophic turbinates → improved airflow

Postoperative Results – Deviated Nose Correction Success

Frontal view before and immediately after surgery – correction of deviated nose and nasal obstruction — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

a. rontal View

Straightened nasal bridge
Defined nasal tip
Improved nostril symmetry

Side view before and immediately after surgery – correction of deviated nose and nasal tip refinement — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

b. Side View

Elevated nasal tip height
Enhanced columella projection
Balanced profile line

Oblique side view before and immediately after surgery – deviated nose correction and nasal tip reconstruction — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

c. Oblique View

Sharper nasal dorsum
Reduced mouth projection

Nostril view before and immediately after surgery – correction of nostril asymmetry and deviated nose — Before (Left) / Immediately After (Right)

d. Nostril View

Symmetrical nostrils
Corrected columella deviation

e. Functional Outcomes

Resolved septal deviation
Expanded airway
Better breathing

Specialist Insights – Deviated Nose Correction

This case highlights:

Autologous rib cartilage ensures long-term stability.
Septal extension grafts refined nasal tip and nostrils.
Functional corrections significantly improved breathing and quality of life.
