What is Preservation Rhinoplasty?

Preservation rhinoplasty differs from conventional rhinoplasty as it focuses on preserving the existing structure throughout the nose job surgery. Utilizing techniques like the push-down or let-down methods, it aims to address the dorsal hump on the nose bridge.

The terms “push-down” and “let-down” methods in preservation rhinoplasty refer to specific techniques used to address the dorsal hump on the nasal bridge.

1.      Push Down Method:

  1. Description: In this method, the surgeon reshapes the nasal hump by gently pushing it downward, creating a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing nasal profile.
  2. Procedure: The surgeon carefully sculpts the nasal cartilage and bone to reduce the prominence of the dorsal hump. This involves strategic adjustments to achieve a more balanced and natural appearance.

2.      Let Down Method:

  1. Description: The “let down” method involves lowering the nasal hump by making precise modifications to the cartilage and bone structure without completely removing them.
  2. Procedure: The surgeon reshapes and repositions the existing nasal components, allowing for a more conservative alteration. This way, the nose’s integrity remains intact while achieving the desired aesthetic outcome.

As mentioned, both methods are part of the preservation rhinoplasty approach, which focuses on maintaining the existing nasal structure as much as possible while achieving the desired cosmetic improvements. The choice between these methods depends on the individual’s unique nasal anatomy and the goals of the rhinoplasty procedure. Preservation rhinoplasty involves reshaping and repositioning the cartilage, avoiding its removal, and securing it with stitches to transform the nose tip. It is not limited to cosmetic adjustments, so it can effectively tackle issues like a deviated septum and crooked noses.

Advantages of Preservation Rhinoplasty

Preservation rhinoplasty holds various advantages over its traditional counterpart. It typically requires less time because of smaller incisions and minimal alteration of nasal tissue. Moreover, this surgery focuses on preserving your nose’s structure, so the recovery period is often shorter.

Furthermore, the conservative approach of preservation rhinoplasty results in fewer changes to nasal tissue. Minimizing the removal of bone and cartilage from beneath the nose bridge opens up more options for potential future revisions.

Preservation can be an open or closed procedure:

FAQs

What are the three most common forms of rhinoplasty?

In rhinoplasty, the three primary procedures involve reducing the size of the nasal tip, addressing the dorsal hump on the nasal bridge, and alleviating droopiness at the end of the nose or the nasal tip. Additional procedures might focus on straightening a crooked nose, adjusting the nose’s projection from the face, and resolving or enhancing nasal airflow and breathing.
