Hello, this is Dr. Cha-Young Kang, board-certified plastic surgeon and medical director of NOSELAB Plastic Surgery Clinic.

This case presents a patient who suffered a nasal bone fracture following facial trauma.

Through Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty Korea, our objective was not only to realign the fractured nasal bones but also to restore full facial balance using reconstructive and aesthetic techniques.

Surgical Background – Why Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty Korea Was Needed

Preoperative views for Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty Korea showing frontal and side angles. — Preoperative design consultation photos: Frontal view, left oblique side view, and left side view.

Trauma-Related Deformity and Functional Impairment

The patient exhibited:

Nasal bone fracture deformity
Deviated dorsal line
Nostril asymmetry
Collapsed right alar cartilage
Imbalanced nasolabial angle
Loss of midface volume
Soft-tissue distortion from previous trauma

The patient wanted to restore nasal structure, correct asymmetry, and achieve a natural and harmonious facial aesthetic.

Surgical Plan – Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty Korea With Full Facial Correction

Nasal Bone Reconstruction and Facial Harmonization Strategy

(1). Nasal Reconstruction

1. Closed Nasal Bone Reduction

Non-incisional realignment of the fractured nasal bones
No external scars
Recovery of nasal symmetry
Reconstruction of a smooth dorsal line

2. Revision Rhinoplasty Using Donor Rib Cartilage

Medically sterilized donor rib cartilage used to rebuild damaged internal support
Safe and reliable due to structural strength
Restoration of height, projection, and nasal definition

3. Nasolabial Angle Correction

Adjusted the angle between the upper lip and nose
Achieved a softer, balanced profile
Improved the feminine contour of the nose-lip relationship

4. Right Alar and Lateral Cartilage Reconstruction

Precise rebuilding of trauma-damaged cartilage
Correction of nostril asymmetry
Strengthening of the lateral cartilage for long-term stability

(2). Facial Harmony Procedures

1. Autologous Fat Grafting

Restored midface volume
Enhanced three-dimensional contour
Softened facial shadows from trauma

2. Chin Implant (Genioplasty)

Improved lower-face projection
Enhanced jawline definition
Balanced facial proportions relative to the nose

3. Nasolabial Fold Augmentation

Added youthful volume
Improved midface support
Softened harsh expressions

4. Submental Liposuction

Reduced double chin
Sharpened the mandibular angle
Achieved a sleek, refined side profile

Full Facial View

Harmonized nose, chin, and midface
Fat grafting improved softness and youthfulness
Balanced V-line contouring

Nostril View

Corrected trauma-induced distortion
Rebuilt right alar cartilage
Improved nostril symmetry and columella alignment

Surgeon’s Commentary – Key Principles in Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty Korea

Traumatic fractures often require more than bone repositioning—they require structural reconstruction.
Donor rib cartilage provides strong, safe support without harvesting patient’s own rib.
Facial harmony must be addressed together with nasal trauma for the most natural outcome.
Closed nasal bone reduction avoids external scars and allows precise realignment.

This case demonstrates how Post-Traumatic Rhinoplasty Korea can achieve both functional recovery and aesthetic refinement.
