Before & After

Same contracted nose, completely different approach

The value of a case is not a pretty comparison photo — it is explaining why it was done this way. Each case lists symptoms, our assessment and the plan.

RevisionRevision, side view

Revision

Short noseUpturned tipVisible implant
Assessment
Mild contracture after the previous surgery left the nose too short; the implant outline showed through thin skin.
Plan
Original implant and capsule removed; bridge and tip support rebuilt with autologous rib cartilage, restoring length.

Revision

Pinched tipStiff lineAsymmetric nostrils
Assessment
Over-sutured alar cartilage caused a pinched tip; mild septal deviation left the nostrils uneven.
Plan
Tip cartilage released and repositioned, tip refined with ear cartilage, septal deviation corrected in the same operation.

FaceliftFacelift, front view

Facelift

Mid-face saggingDeep nasolabial foldsBlurred jawline
Assessment
Loosened facial support layers let the soft tissue descend, deepening nasolabial and marionette lines and erasing the jawline.
Plan
Facial support layers repositioned and excess skin removed, with the neck and jawline contoured in the same operation.

RhinoplastyRhinoplasty, 45° view

Rhinoplasty

Low bridgeDrooping tipSmall nasolabial angle
Assessment
Insufficient septal support let the tip droop over time; bridge height out of proportion with the face.
Plan
Septal extension graft from autologous rib cartilage lifts the tip and adjusts the nasolabial angle, with modest bridge augmentation.

Complications that can generally occur after surgery — bleeding, infection, inflammation — vary in degree between individuals and require careful attention. Results vary; images do not represent everyone's outcome.
