Patient’s Surgical History and Goals

The patient previously underwent rhinoplasty in 2018 using septal cartilage, mesh, and osteotomy. Over time, she became dissatisfied with her unnatural, prominent nose shape and requested a subtle, natural-looking result with improved balance.

Pre-Surgical Condition Analysis

Frontal View: Rounded, wide tip, wide bridge, nostril asymmetry
Side View: High nasion, blunt nasal tip, drooping columella
Oblique View: Blunt, wide nasal structure, drooping tip
Nostril View: Visible asymmetry

Surgical Plan – Correcting Multiple Concerns

Narrowing the Width

Lateral osteotomy to refine nasal base width

Bridge Height Adjustment

Lowering the nasion for a balanced proportion

Tip Refinement

Removal of excess subcutaneous tissue
Repositioning alar cartilage for definition

Autologous Rib Cartilage Reconstruction

Septal reconstruction and extension
Subtle dorsal augmentation for harmony

Nasolabial Angle Adjustment

Refined angle to improve profile balance

Surgical Process – Mesh Removal and Reconstruction

During the procedure, several critical findings were addressed:

Intraoperative photo – removed mesh pieces from previous rhinoplasty, illustrating complications that required Mesh Removal Revision Rhinoplasty Korea with autologous rib cartilage

Mesh Removal: Four pieces of mesh (two per side) were carefully removed to avoid tissue damage.
Septal Cartilage Damage: Severe septal damage required extensive reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage.
Structural Rebuilding: Rib cartilage provided stability and natural contour.

Post-Surgical Outcomes – A Natural Transformation

Slimmer, refined nasal tip
Smooth, natural dorsal line
Improved balance with lowered nasion
Corrected columella and nostril symmetry

Key Insights – Safety in Mesh Removal Revision Rhinoplasty Korea

This case highlights the risks of mesh use in rhinoplasty, including inflammation and contraction. Safe revision requires:

Reliable graft materials (e.g., autologous rib cartilage)
Strategic closed approach to preserve blood supply
Expert surgical planning for balanced, natural outcomes
