Functional Rhinoplasty Korea to Correct Nasal Obstruction and Structural Distortion From Filler

Functional Rhinoplasty Korea plays a critical role in treating patients whose nasal distortion and obstruction are caused by long-term filler injections. In this case, the patient had received dissolvable filler for more than 10 years, which progressively widened the bridge, distorted nasal anatomy, and worsened nasal congestion.

Surgical Background – Why Functional Rhinoplasty Korea Was Required

Design Consultation: Frontal View, Left Side View, and Oblique Side View Photos

Structural and Functional Problems Identified Before Surgery

During the preoperative evaluation, the patient presented with a high radix, broad nasal bridge, upturned and bulbous tip, and clear nostril asymmetry. Nasal endoscopy revealed septal deviation to the left, hypertrophied inferior turbinates, and chronic nasal obstruction. Because fillers had accumulated over years, the nasal soft tissue was irregular and difficult to predict.

These findings confirmed the need for comprehensive Functional Rhinoplasty Korea, addressing both functional airflow issues and aesthetic imbalance.

Surgical Plan – Functional Rhinoplasty Korea for Breathing and Shape Correction

Stepwise Functional and Structural Reconstruction Strategy

A combined surgical plan was established:

Functional Corrections

• Septoplasty to correct septal deviation

• Radiofrequency turbinate reduction for chronic congestion

Structural Improvements

• Safe removal of filler material from the nasal bridge

• Septal and rib cartilage grafts for tip support and stabilization

• Silicone implant placement to smooth the dorsal line

• Radix lowering to correct disproportion

Aesthetic Refinements

• Tip reshaping using cartilage grafts

• Nostril asymmetry correction

• Correction of over-rotation for a natural tip projection

This plan ensured that both functional and cosmetic goals were achieved using the closed rhinoplasty approach.

Side Profile Outcome

• Lowered radix

• Harmonious dorsal line

• Corrected over-rotation

Functional Improvements

• Significant improvement in nasal breathing

• Relief from chronic obstruction

• Improvement in airway stability

Overall, the surgery successfully corrected both the internal nasal structures and external nasal shape.

Surgeon’s Commentary – Key Considerations in Functional Rhinoplasty Korea

1. Long-term filler can create unpredictable soft tissue planes, requiring careful dissection.

2. Correcting septal deviation is crucial for long-term functional success and maintaining structural stability.

3. Stabilizing the nasal tip with cartilage grafts prevents postoperative collapse and improves projection.

4. Closed rhinoplasty is effective for patients who want natural results without external scars.

This case highlights the importance of individualized planning and structural precision in Functional Rhinoplasty Korea, especially for patients with both functional impairment and filler-related deformity.

At Nose Lab Clinic, all rhinoplasty procedures are performed exclusively through the closed technique for safer, scar-free, and anatomically precise results.
