Preservation Rhinoplasty

What is preservation rhinoplasty?

Preservation rhinoplasty is a more advanced approach to nasal surgery that enhances the appearance of your nose while preserving as much of its original structure as possible.

Rather than removing and reconstructing nasal tissue, as in traditional rhinoplasty, the technique focuses on adjusting and repositioning existing bone and cartilage to achieve a more balanced, harmonious appearance.

It’s a gentler alternative that prioritizes structure, function, and aesthetics.

What results can I expect with preservation rhinoplasty?

Preservation rhinoplasty results offer a more natural look and feel. The technique addresses concerns such as a dorsal hump or a drooping nasal tip without compromising the integrity of your nose’s support system.

Since the procedure is less invasive, patients typically experience a faster recovery, minimal scarring, and a lower likelihood of needing revision surgery.

How does preservation rhinoplasty work?

Dr. Friedman uses precise, tissue-sparing methods to reshape your nasal framework. Instead of removing bone or cartilage, he carefully repositions it, often lowering the bridge from underneath rather than shaving it down.

The innovative method helps preserve the skin-soft tissue envelope, which is key to achieving smoother, more predictable outcomes.

Am I a candidate for preservation rhinoplasty?

You might be a candidate for preservation rhinoplasty if you don’t want drastic structural changes to your nose. Ideal patients typically have concerns like a dorsal hump or mild tip irregularities and prefer a less invasive approach. It’s also necessary to be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and have intact nasal support structures.

Schedule a personalized consultation with Dr. Friedman. He’ll help determine if the procedure is a good choice for you.

What are the benefits of preservation rhinoplasty?

Preservation rhinoplasty offers many benefits, including:

• A naturally refined appearance
• Lower risk of internal collapse or deformity
• Less swelling and quicker healing
• Maintained nasal airflow and breathing function
• More stable, long-lasting results

By preserving your nose’s natural support intact, preservation rhinoplasty improves your cosmetic outcome and lowers your risk of long-term complications.

The technique is ideal if you’re seeking subtle yet noticeable improvement without compromising the original character of your nose.
