Preserve Your Natural Elegance While Redefining Your Beauty at Wise Center for Plastic Surgery

The internal tissues of the nose are vital for proper nasal function. For this reason, it’s vital to preserve them as much as possible. Preservation rhinoplasty is a contemporary approach to nose reshaping surgery that aims to restore balance and harmony to the nose while preserving its natural beauty and underlying structure. 

This technique differs greatly from traditional rhinoplasty, which typically involves the removal of cartilage, tissue, and bone. Removing these elements from the nose can lead to decreased support in the area, resulting in a higher likelihood of requiring a revision down the line.

What is Preservation Rhinoplasty?

Preservation rhinoplasty is designed to achieve long-lasting results without having to alter the nose’s vital support. This process involves remodeling the existing structures, using little to no tissue resections and no grafts. It also involves advanced suturing techniques and more precise surgical techniques.

The Procedure

Preservation rhinoplasty is typically performed under general anesthesia. Incisions will be made either between the nostrils or within the nose, allowing Dr. Wise to gain access to the underlying tissues. This allows him to enhance the shape of the nose while preserving the internal cartilage and tissue.

The techniques involved in a preservation rhinoplasty procedure do not remove any alar cartilage. Instead, the cartilage is cut into and moved around in order to achieve more definition. This ensures that the structural integrity is not compromised as well as mitigates the risk of unpredictable changes during the healing process.

While the structures that determine the nose’s size and shape are being reshaped, we take extra caution to ensure that they are not damaged during the procedure process. Preserving these vital tissues allows for a more predictable outcome that is in line with the patient’s goals.

Recovery from Preservation Rhinoplasty

Beyond the other benefits of preservation rhinoplasty, it also comes with a much smoother recovery period. As this approach causes less damage to the nose, patients tend to experience less discomfort, bruising, and swelling throughout the healing process. That said, patients should still take about a week off from work and three weeks off from vigorous activity to ensure a positive healing experience.
