1. Patient History and Goals for Nose Filler Complications Correction

In December 2023, the patient visited Nose Lab Clinic with concerns regarding nose filler complications correction and chronic nasal congestion. Their main goals were to refine a rounded, wide nose and achieve a naturally elegant appearance with subtle enhancements.

2023: Nose filler procedure
2024: Double eyelid surgery

2. Preoperative Evaluation Before Nose Filler Complications Correction

Before nose filler complications correction surgery: frontal, left side, and oblique side views showing a broad nasal tip, slight deviation, and nasal asymmetry. — Before Surgery: Frontal, Left Side, and Oblique Side View Photos

The frontal view showed a broad and rounded nose with slight deviation caused by facial asymmetry. From the side, the nasal bridge appeared irregular and overly high at the starting point, disrupting overall balance. Additionally, the left nostril was visibly larger, with columella tilt.

Functional Testing revealed a deviated septum and hypertrophic rhinitis, explaining the patient’s breathing problems. These findings highlighted the importance of combining nose filler complications correction with functional rhinoplasty.

3. Surgical Plan

Functional Improvement

Septoplasty to correct the deviated septum
Radiofrequency turbinate reduction to relieve hypertrophic rhinitis and restore airflow

Aesthetic Refinement

Filler Removal: Complete removal of previous filler followed by silicone implant to contour and elevate the bridge
Septal Realignment: Autologous rib cartilage graft to create a natural nasal tip and stabilize the septum
Columella & Nasolabial Angle Adjustment: Lowered the columella and improved the nasolabial angle to ~95°
Bridge Refinement: Adjusted the starting point for a smooth transition between the forehead and nose
Alar Cartilage Repositioning: Reshaped to achieve nostril symmetry
