This case demonstrates Closed Rhinoplasty Korea for mesh removal revision rhinoplasty. Autologous rib cartilage reconstruction restored nasal structure, corrected asymmetry, and achieved natural, stable long-term results.
Author: Dr. Cha-Young Kang, Director, NoseLab Clinic


✅ Case Background


This patient presented with an unnatural nasal contour, wide nasal tip, and asymmetry following previous rhinoplasty using mesh, septal cartilage, and osteotomy.


Over time, the mesh contributed to structural irregularities, stiffness, and aesthetic imbalance, leading to dissatisfaction with the nasal appearance.


In this Closed Rhinoplasty Korea case, the goal was to safely remove the mesh, reconstruct the damaged nasal framework, and restore natural balance using autologous rib cartilage.


Key concerns included:

  • Mesh-related structural irregularity

  • Wide and bulbous nasal tip

  • High nasion and imbalance

  • Nostril asymmetry

  • Drooping columella

  • Distorted nasal contour


This case required complete foreign material removal and structural reconstruction rather than simple reshaping.


If you are experiencing unnatural contour or complications after mesh rhinoplasty, a detailed structural evaluation is essential.

✅ Surgical Approach – Mesh Removal Rhinoplasty Using Closed Rhinoplasty Korea


Mesh implants can lead to inflammation, scar formation, and structural distortion over time.


Unlike standard implants, mesh integrates irregularly with surrounding tissue, making removal more complex and increasing the risk of tissue damage.


Closed Rhinoplasty Korea allows careful dissection and complete removal of mesh while preserving surrounding structures and minimizing additional trauma.

✅ Structural Problems Identified


  • Mesh-induced structural irregularity

  • Scar tissue and adhesion

  • Wide nasal tip and bridge

  • High nasion imbalance

  • Nostril asymmetry

  • Damaged septal cartilage

  • Functional instability


✅ Surgical Plan


1. Mesh Removal

  • Complete removal of all mesh fragments

  • Careful dissection to minimize tissue damage

2. Septal Reconstruction

  • Reconstruction using autologous rib cartilage

  • Restoration of structural support


3. Tip Refinement

  • Repositioning of alar cartilage

  • Reduction of bulbosity


4. Dorsal Adjustment

  • Lowering of nasion

  • Smoothing of dorsal contour


5. Structural Reinforcement

  • Stabilization of nasal framework

  • Creation of natural contour


6. Functional Correction

  • Improvement of airflow

  • Restoration of nasal stability

✅ Surgeon’s Commentary


Mesh-related complications in rhinoplasty require careful removal and structural reconstruction.


Unlike other materials, mesh often integrates irregularly with surrounding tissues, making revision more complex.


In this case, complete mesh removal was essential before reconstruction could be performed.


Autologous rib cartilage provided a strong and stable framework to restore both structure and aesthetics.


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


Long-term success depends on eliminating problematic materials and rebuilding stable nasal support.

✅ FAQ


Q1. Why is mesh problematic in rhinoplasty?

It can cause inflammation, stiffness, and irregular contour over time.


Q2. Is mesh removal difficult?

Yes, it often adheres to surrounding tissue, requiring careful dissection.


Q3. Why is rib cartilage used after removal?

It provides stable and biocompatible structural support.

Postoperative precautions and possible complications after rhinoplasty – includes information on infection, bleeding, asymmetry, allergic reactions, and scarring.
