What Is Preservation Rhinoplasty?
Preservation rhinoplasty is a nose-modification surgery that aims to preserve as much of a patient’s original tissue as possible.
The procedure requires advanced surgical technique, whereby the surgeon alters the shape of the nose by strategically removing small amounts of bone and cartilage from underneath the nose bridge. By doing so, expert preservation rhinoplasty surgeons can reduce the height of the nasal dorsum – or nose bridge – without altering the patient’s dorsal lines.
Also known as dorsal preservation rhinoplasty, this approach is particularly useful for patients who want to reduce a dorsal hump while maintaining the natural contour and continuity of the nasal bridge. Rather than routinely removing the top of the dorsum and rebuilding it, preservation techniques reshape the underlying framework, so the existing bridge can be repositioned.
