What does preservation rhinoplasty involve?
A nose is pure delicacy. The small details are key.
The subtle details make all the difference. Preservation rhinoplasty helps us to naturally highlight that subtlety.
Preservation rhinoplasty is based on a simple principle: preserving the essential structures of the nasal bridge. This essentially involves:
- Shaping the nasal bones and cartilage without damaging the natural anatomy of the nose
- Working with the utmost care so as not to damage the ligaments and nasal valves.
Preservation rhinoplasty is not only characterised by its scarless, natural-looking results, but also by its status as a disruptive, innovative procedure that advances the art of rhinoplasty. The reason is simple: Patients leave the operating theatre feeling much more comfortable than with structural rhinoplasty.

Benefits of preservation rhinoplasty
Would you like to preserve the natural elasticity, flexibility and movement of your nose?
A nose is not just a matter of shape; from here on, it is very important to ask yourself how elastic and flexible your nose will be once it has undergone surgery.
The disruptive technique preserves all ligaments of the nose—both on the bridge and the tip—thereby maximising natural-looking results. This only adds benefits for the patient:
- Minimum swelling.
- No folds or bruising thanks to careful and appropriate dissection, protecting all the soft tissues and ligaments of the nose.
- Preventing nasal dorsum detachment often maintains a natural-looking nose.
- Absence of stiffness at the tip of the nose
Immediate results
Do you need a rhinoplasty with minimal downtime, allowing you to be back to your routine in just a few days?
Compared to other rhinoplasty techniques, the results of preservation rhinoplasty are significantly accelerated. Most of our patients attain a near-definitive result within three months post-procedure.
Of course, the patient will notice minimal residual swelling, but this is only 5% to 10% of the original swelling, which certainly subsides quickly.
In most cases, the result is definitive after six months.
Minimally invasive surgery
In rhinoplasty, the key is to maintain the anatomical structures of the nasal bridge.
Preservation rhinoplasty repositions the nasal dorsum to the desired position while preserving its natural anatomical structure and eliminating the need for a scalpel. This is done by removing a segment of the internal septum so that the nasal hump sinks. What results can we achieve?
- We respect the noble structures of the nose.
- There is no need to compromise the anatomical integrity of the nasal dorsum.
Consequently, preservation rhinoplasty is a minimally invasive technique that achieves a naturally contoured nasal bridge, free of any convexity or hump.
And perhaps most crucially: the patient doesn't experience the feeling of having undergone an invasive surgery.
Mild postoperative stage
The postoperative period is much shorter than with traditional rhinoplasty.
One of the prerequisites for performing this surgery is to dissect or detach the nasal tissues beneath the membrane that surrounds the nasal mucosa.
The procedure follows a plane where no essential structures (lymphatics, blood vessels, muscles, or nerves) are present.
Avoiding structural damage is the secret to preservation surgery and the cause of the mild to moderate postoperative inflammation.
F.A.Q.
-
What is preservation rhinoplasty?
Preservation rhinoplasty is a new approach to nose reshaping surgery (rhinoplasty) that cares for and preserves all the soft tissues and ligaments of the nose.
-
What is the difference between preservation rhinoplasty and ultrasonic rhinoplasty?
They are different procedures. In fact, ultrasonic technology can be used in a preservation chamber. Ultrasound is a tool for shaping and/or cutting bone. This is done in the preservation chamber.
-
What is the difference between preservation rhinoplasty and traditional rhinoplasty?
Conventional or structural rhinoplasty alters the anatomy of the bridge, but preservation rhinoplasty preserves it.
-
What are the risks associated with preservation rhinoplasty?
Preservation rhinoplasty does not carry any specific risks beyond those associated with any surgical procedure. In the event of any dissatisfaction on the part of the patient, the details can be easily corrected. Clínica Planas is proud of its top-tier team of surgeons, anaesthetists, and operating theatre staff, ensuring the highest standards of patient safety.
-
How long does recovery take for this type of rhinoplasty?
Recovery from preservation rhinoplasty is shorter and less severe than recovery from structural rhinoplasty.
